What Is an IPL Photofacial?

An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a light-based treatment that targets pigmentation, sun spots, redness, and visible veins. It’s one of the most effective non-invasive ways to rejuvenate the skin and treat conditions like rosacea and age spots.

The broad-spectrum light penetrates below the skin’s surface, breaking up unwanted pigment and stimulating collagen production for clearer, younger-looking skin.

How It Works

Your provider applies a cool gel and uses a handheld IPL device to deliver flashes of light. The light is absorbed by unwanted pigment and redness, which fades gradually over the following days.

Is IPL Right for You?

You may be a candidate if you:

  • Have sun damage or facial redness
  • Struggle with rosacea or broken capillaries
  • Want more even skin tone and brightness
  • Prefer a quick, non-surgical solution
  • Targets redness, pigmentation, and sun spots
  • Improves skin tone and texture
  • Stimulates natural collagen production
  • Minimal discomfort and no downtime
  • Safe, quick, and effective

Temporary redness or mild swelling may occur. Sun sensitivity increases after treatment, so SPF is essential. Rarely, blistering or pigment changes can occur.

How many times have you gone to a laser / cosmetic surgery center where the doctor spends more than 15 min with you?? Dr Gohar, MD actually did the entire IPL procedure on me by herself!!! That is not including the time and care her assistant spent with me!! Dr Gohar's expertise, nurturing manner and the expensive (real) laser machines are not the only reason why my IPL experience far exceeded compared to my other laser experiences!!! Her office cares about your outcome and the entire staff are dedicated to make you look and feel beautiful. I have been doing IPL, fraxel and other treatments to retain my vanity for the past decade. I came to Dr Gohar because of a LivingSocial special. I am truly impressed by the care she took to increase the success of a simple IPL procedure. Her office is the first one out of dozens I visited to actually have a separate spa room, where her assistant took time and care to clean and hydrate my face to improve the effect of the laser on my face!! I checked out her laser machines and Dr Gohar actually use well know brand name laser machines, where the results are well published and proven!!! Dr Gohar is knowledgeable, honest and pleasant! She offers honest methods to care for my skins, some of her advise has nothing to increases her revenue! I want all others like me who visit many clinics trying to maintain beauty to know about her practice!

Dr. Kathy Gohar is pleasant to be with and knows how to help you. Especially those who have darker skin like me. She offers a variety of quality products and her prices are reasonable. She can handle anything from minor treatments to skin surgery. I have had some positive results using fotofacial. The challenge is following her instructions for someone like me. Bring your notepad and take notes. If you don't do what she recommends, it could lead some bad consequences. I will continue to visit her and I only expect excellent results. As a patient, we just have to be "patient" for results. I recommend making an appointment, go shopping while you wait and enjoy the company. Her clients are very pleasant to chat with. She knows how to help people look natural and that's important to me. The sun damages our skin and takes away youthfulness. She can help you take care of your skin to prevent damage and disease. Just listen to her advice. If you are not satisfied about something, just tell her.

Dr. Gohar was INCREDIBLE. This was my first experience being inside of a medical spa. I never felt rushed, she explained everything very clearly, and was very honest. I received a Photo Facial and she also gave me a vitamin C hydrating mask and facial steam for free. The facility is located in Beverly Hills. She will eventually be moving upstairs to a different suite once the redecorating has been done. I would recommend Dr. Gohar to everyone. She even gave me gift certificates for my future visits or if I would like to refer a friend. Thank you for the lovely experience.

I got the best IPL at this medi spa and their products were great too. I liked how the doctor gave me samples. Everyone who worked there was pleasant and friendly. My services were done smoothly and professionally. A vibrant atmosphere I will definitely be going back for more treatment.

This was a wonderful experience. I purchased the IPL and microdermabrasion facial. I have difficult skin conditions and tend to be apprehensive when trying new places but I am very pleased with the results. Dr Gohar provided a thorough consultation prior to my treatment which was the IPL and Giselle was amazing with my facial. They were not pushy or overbearing and very easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this facility and staff for all your skin care needs.

Dr. Gohar was very professional and explained all the options for my skin condition without me asking. The IPL went well but for my age spots, it's going to take a number of IPL treatments at a negotiated price.

I am officially in love with Dr. Gohar and her office staff. I would recommend that everyone go see Dr. Gohar, you can tell they really care about their patients. To my surprise I got one of the best facials before my IPL session. Dr. Gohar is very thorough and goes beyond what you pay for.

I found Dr. Gohar through one of those online coupon deals. I thought I had only purchased an IPL treatment because the price was so great. I was surprised by a relaxing and gentle facial cleansing and hydration treatment by Annette prior to the IPL. While in Annette and Dr. Gohar's care, I felt like my skin was assessed honestly and that unlike many places, they explained the different treatments available for my stress related acne and the pros and cons of each. Dr. Gohar and Annette were both kind and pleasant to be around and I even left with a couple free gifts and several gift certificates for reduced price treatments in the future. IPL treatments do not feel good when you're getting them, but the results I received at this office were noticeable within a couple hours and I am looking forward to seeing them again.

The IPL laser treatment and bonus mini facial were very nice as was the staff. The overall facility seems a bit disorganized and disjointed and there was quite a bit of middle eastern chatter making me feel slightly foreign. I'll be back!

I recommend Kathy Gohar M.D!! She is great and amazing. She worked directly with me and not a nurse or an esthetician. She spent the time to give me the best advice. I will follow her directions. You will be happy to consult her.

Dr. Gohar was exactly the kind of doctor you would want to work with. She honored the appointment, even though we were 2 hours late, and she had a very gentle touch, great bedside manners and answered all of our questions. Best of all her feedback and advice was honest and not hinged upon making money off the client. I will DEFINITELY return to her office in the future.
