Intense pulsed light operates in a spectrum of light which has been adapted for use in the cosmetic procedure known as a photofacial. The photofacial device allows the light to penetrate through the skin to the places where normally dilated vessels can be found. One of the many clear advantages to this procedure is that it only treats the targeted areas and leaves the surrounding tissues untouched. It has gained a wide following as a safe, easy, gentle manner with which to treat the signs of facial wear and tear as well as aging.

The energy from the intense pulsed light of the device used for photofacial stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is responsible for softening aging skin to make it look more youthful. Even after one treatment, a noticeable improvement can be expected as sunspots fade, pore sizes shrink, and fine lines and wrinkles actually decrease in appearance
