IPL Photofacial
Improve tone. Reduce visible sun damage. Refresh your skin.
IPL Photofacial with RF
At Skin365, our IPL Photofacial with RF uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) combined with Radiofrequency (RF) to address some of the most common signs of sun damage and skin aging.
IPL targets visible brown and red discoloration, while RF delivers controlled heat deeper into the skin to support collagen production and improve the appearance of skin firmness and texture.
The result is a more even, refreshed complexion with improved clarity and overall skin quality.
What Is an IPL Photofacial?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, uses a broad spectrum of light energy to target specific areas of unwanted pigment and redness in the skin. It can help improve the appearance of sun spots, uneven pigmentation, visible capillaries and facial redness.
Unlike a traditional laser that uses a single wavelength of light, IPL uses multiple wavelengths that can be customized to target different concerns.
At Skin365, our Aurora IPL + RF technology combines light energy with radiofrequency in the same treatment. This combination allows us to address both the visible signs of photodamage and deeper skin quality concerns.
What Does IPL + RF Treat?
IPL with RF may be recommended to improve the appearance of:
- Sun spots and age spots
- Uneven pigmentation
- Facial redness
- Visible capillaries and small vessels
- Uneven skin tone
- Dull or weathered-looking skin
- Fine lines
- Mild loss of firmness
- Overall skin texture and quality
IPL is particularly useful when pigmentation and redness are the primary concerns, while the addition of RF provides a complementary approach to skin firmness and collagen support.
The Benefits of Combining IPL + RF
Two types of energy. One customized treatment.
IPL — Targets the surface concerns
IPL energy is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels, helping improve the appearance of brown spots, redness and visible capillaries.
RF — Works deeper
Radiofrequency energy produces controlled heat within the skin, supporting collagen remodeling and helping improve the appearance of firmness and texture.
Together, IPL and RF provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation—addressing tone, discoloration, redness and skin quality in one treatment.
Customized Treatment at Skin365
Every IPL + RF treatment begins with an evaluation of your skin, concerns and treatment goals.
Your provider will determine whether IPL + RF is appropriate for you and customize the treatment settings based on your skin and the area being treated.
Common treatment areas include:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
Treatment may be performed on one area or multiple areas depending on your individual treatment plan.
What to Expect
Before your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepared. Protective eyewear will be provided.
During treatment, the Aurora handpiece is placed against the skin and delivers controlled pulses of IPL and RF energy. You may feel a series of warm snaps or a brief sensation of heat as the energy is delivered.
Most treatments are relatively quick, making IPL + RF a convenient option for patients looking to improve their skin without a lengthy recovery period.
Following treatment, the skin may appear temporarily pink or warm. Brown spots may become darker before gradually fading or flaking away as the skin naturally clears the treated pigment.
Your provider will give you specific post-treatment instructions based on your treatment and skin type.
When Will I See Results?
Some patients notice an improvement in skin brightness and overall tone after their first treatment. Pigmented areas may continue to change and clear over the following days to weeks.
Because collagen remodeling takes time, improvements in firmness and overall skin quality develop gradually.
A series of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and goals.
Is IPL + RF Right for You?
IPL + RF may be a good option if you are looking to improve sun damage, pigmentation, redness and overall skin quality without an invasive procedure.
Not every skin concern is best treated with IPL. During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin and determine whether IPL + RF—or another Skin365 treatment such as LaseMD, Sylfirm X or microneedling—may be better suited to your goals.
Why Skin365?
At Skin365, we don't believe in a one-treatment-fits-all approach.
Our providers evaluate your skin and customize your treatment based on what you want to improve—not simply which device is available.
Whether your primary concern is pigmentation, redness, texture, firmness or overall skin quality, we can help you create a treatment plan designed around your skin.
A clearer complexion starts with the right plan.

Individual results vary. Treatment suitability, settings, number of treatments, and expected results are determined following an individual skin assessment. Your provider will recommend the appropriate number and frequency of treatments based on your skin and goals.
