If you suffer from sun damage, hyper-pigmentation, or just feel your skin looks a bit dull, an IPL photofacial could be right for you.
With Photofacial treatments, there is little to no downtime, as compared to ablative lasers and deep peels. Using the revolutionary technology we offer, we can significantly improve the look of sun-damaged skin and help patients with stubborn redness and flushing of rosacea. IPL treatments at usually take about 30 minutes, and the slight redness is usually gone by the time you are back home.
This is a wounding laser that removes the thin outer layer of skin (epidermis) and heats the underlying skin (dermis), which stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers. As the epidermis heals and regrows, the treated area appears smoother and tighter. Types of ablative treatments include the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, the erbium laser and combination systems.
This is a non-wounding laser that stimulates collagen growth, which over time helps improve skin tone and texture. This approach can be done with various types of lasers as well as intense pulsed light (IPL) devices. Non-ablative laser resurfacing is less invasive and requires less recovery time than ablative laser resurfacing. While it’s less effective, it can yield beautiful results in the right patient.

Laser skin resurfacing treatments can improve:
One laser resurfacing treatment takes around 30-45 minutes, but can be more or less depending on the laser used and areas being treated. Ablative lasers, such as erbium and C02, may take a bit longer, will be more uncomfortable, and can have up to 2-3 weeks of downtime of varying intensities. Non-ablative lasers treatments have minimal discomfort and downtime - typically just slight redness or swelling for up to one week after.
Like anything in life, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons, and to discuss in detail with an experienced practitioner before undergoing treatment. Here at Divine, we are dedicated to helping those who want to improve the appearance of the skin by offering highly skilled help and advice, tailor-made to their individual circumstances.

We customize each treatment based on a patient’s individual needs. In some cases only a single treatment may be needed, while for others a series of treatments or a combination treatment may be recommended. The depth of treatment (and thus the downtime) depends upon the degree of resurfacing needed. Fine lines and mild skin tone unevenness may require a shallow treatment; however, deeper wrinkles, acne scars and more severe laxity may necessitate a deeper treatment. This will be discussed at your consultation.
Depending on the laser used resurfacing can be uncomfortable. We will always apply topical numbing cream prior to all C02 laser treatments. For all ablative laser treatments, we will use a Zimmer chiller to cool the skin during the procedure. ProNox nitrous oxide is also available upon request.
