- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) - Fotofacials are effective for the treatment of broken capillaries (telangiectasia) and the skin redness of rosacea. As an added bonus, IPL also treats brown freckling, shrinks pores, improves sun damage and increases collagen in the skin. All of these lead to smoother, younger looking skin and reduced redness at the same time. To learn more about IPL click here
