Who is the FotoFacial For?
This treatment is commonly chosen by adults with sunspots, redness associated with rosacea, or uneven pigmentation who are appropriate candidates based on skin type and assessment.
Safety Overview
The IPL devices used for FotoFacial treatments are Health Canada–cleared for specific dermatologic indications and are administered by trained health-care professionals, with temporary redness, warmth, or mild skin sensitivity being common.
Typical Results Timeline
Changes in skin tone may begin within days, with progressive improvement typically developing over several weeks.
Who Should Avoid a FotoFacial?
FotoFacial may not be suitable during an active skin infection or open wounds, or for individuals with recent tanning. A medical consultation is required to determine individual suitability.
FotoFacials at Skin Vitality Medical Clinic
We often use FotoFacial IPL to address visible redness and pigmentation concerns related to sun exposure or rosacea. Patients frequently ask about timelines, and we usually see improvements in tone develop gradually over several weeks, often after a series of treatments. Temporary darkening of some pigmented spots can occur before they fade, and this is reviewed with patients during consent so it is expected rather than surprising. Session count and spacing are planned after assessing skin type and pigment depth, and adjustments are made based on response and tolerance

There is typically little to no downtime; mild redness or darkening of pigmented spots may occur and often resolves within a few days after treatment.
Some changes in skin tone and texture may be noticed within about a week, with further improvement as the skin responds.
