What Clients Are Saying
Years of Texas sun left me with so many age spots on my cheeks and chest. After a few sessions at Mara's, my skin is so much clearer and the sun damage has faded dramatically. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable!
I've struggled with rosacea and constant redness for as long as I can remember. This photofacial has been a lifesaver. My skin is finally calm and even-toned. The staff here is so understanding and gentle, which made all the difference.
My hyperpigmentation was so stubborn, especially the patches on my forehead. I'm amazed at the results! My complexion is so much more even now. Mara's Med Spa is clean, professional, and the team really knows what they're doing.
I was so self-conscious about the tiny broken veins around my nose. This treatment zapped them away and just made my overall skin tone brighter and healthier. So happy I trusted Mara's team with my face!
I came in wanting to deal with a mix of freckles and just dull, blotchy skin. The IPL was fantastic! My skin is glowing, and so many of the dark spots have lifted. The entire experience at Mara's was wonderful, from start to finish.
How it works
An IPL Photofacial uses broad-spectrum light to target discoloration, sun damage, and redness beneath the skin’s surface. Treatments are outpatient and typically take 15–30 minutes per area. For best results, most clients complete a series of 5–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with simple maintenance once or twice a year.
Pre-Care & Planning
Before your first visit, avoid sun exposure, tanning, and sensitizing skincare (as advised). At consultation, we map your goals and outline a series plan, typically 5–6 sessions for optimal clarity and tone.
Treatment Day
A topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort, you’ll wear protective eyewear, and a cooling gel is placed on the skin. The IPL device delivers brief pulses of light—often described as a quick “rubber-band snap.” Most areas take 15–30 minutes.
Recovery & Maintenance
Expect minimal downtime: mild redness or swelling can appear for a few hours. Dark spots may temporarily darken before flaking over several days. Use SPF 30+ and avoid sun. Most clients resume normal activities the same day and schedule periodic maintenance to sustain results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IPL Photofacial and how does it work?
IPL Photofacial in Dallas: How it works
An IPL Photofacial uses broad-spectrum light to target brown pigment (sun spots, age spots) and red pigment (broken capillaries, redness). Light energy is absorbed by discoloration and superficial vessels, which then break up and fade over time—making an IPL Photofacial in Dallas a proven option for clearer, more even-toned skin.
What concerns can IPL treat?
rosacea treatment dallas: What IPL can treat
IPL is ideal for sun damage, freckles, hyperpigmentation, age spots, uneven tone, facial redness, and visible capillaries. Many clients also choose it for calming persistent redness associated with rosacea, which is why it’s a popular choice for rosacea treatment dallas.
How many sessions will I need?
photofacial dallas: Sessions and series
Most guests see best results with a series of 3–6 sessions spaced about 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance once or twice a year. This cadence works well for photofacial dallas treatment plans focused on fading discoloration and keeping skin bright.
What happens during the appointment?
IPL Photofacial in Dallas: What to expect
After cleansing, we apply cooling gel and provide protective eyewear. Your provider delivers a series of light pulses; most clients describe the sensation as a quick, mild snap. A typical face session takes about 15–30 minutes.
Is there downtime or aftercare?
IPL Photofacial in Dallas: Downtime and aftercare
Downtime is minimal. You may see temporary redness or mild swelling for a few hours. Dark spots can look darker before they flake naturally over several days. Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily to protect results.
IPL vs. laser resurfacing — which is right for me?
photofacial dallas: IPL vs laser resurfacing
IPL is non-ablative, polychromatic light designed to address color issues like sun spots and redness with little to no downtime. Fractional laser resurfacing (e.g., CO2 or Er:YAG) targets texture, lines, and deeper remodeling—and typically involves more recovery. If your priority is discoloration and visible vessels, IPL is often the first step; for etched lines or significant texture change, fractional lasers may be recommended. Many clients sequence both over time for comprehensive results.
Who is a good candidate? Any contraindications?
IPL Photofacial in Dallas: Candidacy and safety
Best for fair to medium complexions seeking improvement in brown/red discoloration. We may defer treatment if you’re tanned, recently used photosensitizing products, pregnant, or have certain medical conditions. Your provider will confirm candidacy during consultation.
Can IPL be combined with other treatments?
rosacea treatment dallas: Combinations and sequencing
