Many patients begin to see their results within a few days after treatment, though your results will continue to improve over time, especially with subsequent sessions. After your final treatment, most patients enjoy their renewed skin for up to a year. Even once the effects begin to fade, you can always visit us for a follow-up maintenance appointment!

How IPL Works
Our intense pulsed light therapy in Brookhaven harnesses precise wavelengths of light to noninvasively penetrate your skin. We’ll determine this wavelength in advance based on your unique goals.
During treatment, your blemishes or discolorations will absorb the selected wavelength of light energy, breaking them down over time to be disposed of by your body.
At the same time, the IPL device will stimulate the production of healing proteins within your skin, such as collagen and elastin. These proteins will tighten and heal your skin to eliminate wrinkles and lead to enhanced results.
Care Instructions
Pre
- Avoid tanning beds for 2 weeks before each session.
- Refrain from harsh facial cleansers in the week leading up to your appointment.

Post
- Don’t use any exfoliating or abrasive products over your treatment area.
- Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and use sunscreen when you go outside.
- Regularly moisturize your skin in the days following your session.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Photofacials are a great option for anyone looking to improve their skin’s tone and quality. IPL is particularly effective for patients hoping to even out their skin tone and reduce discolored areas such as age spots or pigmentation issues.
If you’re interested in IPL, we’ll schedule you for an initial consultation to talk through our treatment and make sure that IPL is the best treatment to meet your needs.
When you visit us for intense pulsed light therapy in Brookhaven, we’ll start with your consultation to plan out the best ways that IPL can help you.
Once we’ve created a personalized treatment plan, you’ll visit us for your session. We’ll give you special eyewear to protect your eyes from the light, and then we’ll apply a cooling gel to your treatment area to promote the most effective results from your treatment.
During your session, we’ll pass the IPL device across your skin, which may cause a mild stinging sensation, similar to a rubber band being snapped against your skin.
Once the treatment is over, you may feel some residual redness or swelling similar to a sunburn, but this should subside within a few hours.

Don’t Take Our Word For It
First time visiting and will be a regular patient going forward. Super friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Also was in and out in 45mins as they said most appointments take. Highly recommend this office for your eye care.

Dr. Reynolds is the best! Favorite eye doctor I’ve ever been to in my 20 years of annual eye exams. I love the eye scan technology available here in lieu of dilation - it helped me discover a nevus (freckle) on my eye which will be important to monitor over the years for changes. Brittany at the front desk was also extremely friendly and helpful.

The staff and Jocelyn are very professional. They are quick to follow up on emergency needs and make you feel welcomed. I would recommend this location to anyone new to the area. If you need a new doctor, this is the team to see. Dr. Doug and Dr. Reynolds are a great team!
