One thing that affects many individuals is enlarged pores. No matter what kind of at-home treatments they use, it seems like they are not able to clean their pores properly or shrink them in any way. Thankfully, you can treat enlarged pores with an IPL Photofacial The first thing that you may be wondering is, what is an IPL Photofacial, and how does it work? This is a treatment that uses a beam of light to improve your skin in a variety of ways. It does not use a laser, but rather a spectrum of light. It can help individuals to walk away from treatment with a much smoother skin tone and smaller pores. This is a safe treatment to use. You will feel sensations during treatment, but most people do not require any kind of anesthetic to help them feel comfortable, and we can use ice packs and other means to cool the skin to minimize discomfort.  The light that is used pulses at a variety of wavelengths, allowing the different skin layers to be penetrated so that abnormalities are targeted.  During treatment, collagen and blood vessels under the top layer of skin tighten and produce smoother-looking skin and decrease discoloration.
