Dermatology Expertise

Photo facial treatments are performed by trained dermatologists who select appropriate light parameters based on skin type and scar characteristics.

Targeted Pigment and Vascular Improvement

IPL effectively addresses both the redness and pigmentation associated with scars and stretch marks, improving overall colour and tone.

Personalised Treatment Settings

Light parameters are adjusted for each patient's skin type and target concern to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime

Photo facial is a non-ablative treatment that does not damage the skin surface, resulting in quick recovery and return to normal activities.

Can Be Combined with Other Scar Treatments

Photo facial is often combined with resurfacing procedures, microneedling, or laser treatments to address multiple aspects of scar and stretch mark appearance.

Suitable for a Range of Skin Concerns

Beyond scars and stretch marks, IPL also improves overall skin tone, sun damage, and age spots, providing broad skin rejuvenation benefits.

Photo facial may be suitable for individuals with:

•   Red, pink, or hyperpigmented scars
•   Stretch marks with discolouration (red, pink, or brown)
•   Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
•   Uneven skin tone associated with scarring
•   Superficial skin texture irregularities
•   Sun damage or age spots alongside scar concerns

Photo facial is most effective on lighter skin tones. A consultation will determine suitability based on your skin type, scar colour, and desired improvement.

Photo facial offers several benefits for scar, stretch mark, and skin tone improvement:

•   Reduces redness and discolouration in scars and stretch marks
•   Improves overall skin tone and complexion
•   Stimulates mild collagen production
•   Minimal downtime compared to ablative treatments
•   Can be combined with other scar treatments for enhanced results
•   Suitable for a wide range of vascular and pigmented skin concerns

Progressive improvement in scar colour and skin tone is typically noticed over a series of four to six sessions.

Before photo facial treatment, a skin assessment is performed to evaluate the nature of scars or stretch marks and confirm suitability for IPL based on skin type.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and self-tanning products for at least four weeks before treatment. Tanned or recently sun-exposed skin increases the risk of adverse effects with IPL.

Inform your dermatologist of any photosensitive medications, recent use of retinoids, or prior history of cold sores in the treatment area, as these may affect treatment suitability or timing.

Photo facial treatment begins with skin cleansing and the application of a cool gel to the treatment area. Protective eyewear is provided before the IPL device is used.

The IPL device is applied to the skin in sections, delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light. Patients typically feel a mild snapping or warm sensation with each pulse. The procedure is generally well-tolerated.

Sessions usually last 20 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. Temporary redness or mild darkening of pigmented areas immediately after treatment is expected.

After photo facial treatment, mild redness and warmth in the treated area is normal and usually settles within a few hours. Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before gradually fading over one to two weeks.

Strict sun avoidance and daily broad-spectrum sunscreen use are essential after IPL treatment. Avoid harsh skincare products, exfoliants, and heat exposure for several days following the session.

A series of four to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal improvement in scar and stretch mark discolouration.

Photo facial is a non-ablative light treatment with a good safety profile when performed with appropriate device settings for each skin type.

Temporary redness, mild swelling, or temporary darkening of treated pigmented areas may occur. These effects are usually short-lived.

IPL is not recommended for darker skin types due to the increased risk of pigmentation changes. Skin type assessment at consultation is important for safe treatment. Rare side effects include blistering or skin tone changes if incorrect settings are used.

The cost of photo facial treatment in Delhi depends on the size of the area treated and the number of sessions required.

Most scar and stretch mark improvement protocols involve a course of multiple sessions. Pricing per session and for a full course will be discussed during consultation.

A personalised assessment will determine the most appropriate number of sessions and provide a clear cost estimate.
