Photofacial
Photofacial, also known as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that targets pigmentation, redness, sun damage, acne marks, and uneven skin tone. It works by delivering controlled pulses of light energy deep into the skin to correct imperfections while improving overall skin quality.
At Paras Hospital, photofacial treatments are performed using advanced medical IPL technology under expert supervision for safe, visible, and long-lasting results.
What Is a Photofacial?
A photofacial uses broad-spectrum light energy to selectively target excess pigmentation, broken capillaries, acne-causing bacteria, and sun-damaged skin cells—without harming surrounding healthy tissue.
The treatment stimulates collagen production, enhances skin clarity, and restores a natural glow.
