DPL Full Face Photofacial
The DPL Full Face Photofacial harnesses advanced light energy to diminish pigmentation, redness, and acne while stimulating collagen for smoother, brighter, and firmer skin. Experience visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime and a radiant complexion.
How It Works
After a personalized skin analysis and deep cleanse, your provider applies a cooling gel and exposes your skin to a series of gentle, high-intensity DPL flashes, precisely calibrated to your skin’s needs. DPL delivers focused, narrow-band light that penetrates the skin’s upper and middle layers, targeting melanin, redness, and uneven pigmentation. The light energy selectively heats and breaks up excess pigment, visible veins, and old skin cells, while also stimulating collagen and cellular turnover. The session ends with calming products and UV protection, and the entire process is virtually painless — with no downtime needed.
What It Targets
DPL photofacials are designed for:
- Sun damage, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation
- Redness, facial veins, and rosacea
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne and post-acne marks
- Enlarged or congested pores
DPL is safe for most skin types, with adjustable settings for a personalized approach to each concern.
Benefits
Key benefits of DPL photofacials include:
- Brighter, clearer, and more even skin tone with visible reduction of spots and redness
- Smoother, firmer skin thanks to boosted collagen and elastin
- Faded pigmentation, broken capillaries, and surface imperfections
- Reduced pore size and post-acne marks
- Minimal to no discomfort and zero recovery time — most patients resume daily activities right away
- Long-lasting improvements in clarity, firmness, and radiance with consistent treatments
This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking comprehensive, non-invasive rejuvenation with consistent, natural-looking results.

Questions?
We're here to answer your questions and provide the best services for your needs.
Will there be any downtime after my DPL photofacial?
Most people experience little to no downtime after a DPL photo facial. You may notice mild redness or sensitivity, similar to a gentle sunburn, which usually fades within 24–48 hours. Most clients can resume daily activities immediately, though it's best to avoid direct sun exposure and strenuous exercise for a couple of days for optimal healing.
How many DPL photofacial sessions will I need to get results?
Treatment plans for DPL photo facials are customized to your unique skin needs — whether addressing pigmentation, redness, rosacea, acne, fine lines, or spider veins. Most clients see improvement after just a few sessions, with mild concerns often resolved in 2-4 treatments and more advanced cases benefiting from additional visits. Our expert technicians will consult with you to recommend the right number of sessions for lasting, radiant results.
Is DPL different from IPL?
DPL is an advanced form of IPL, offering a narrower spectrum of light for more targeted, effective, and safer treatment for a wider range of skin types.
Does a DPL photofacial hurt?
DPL treatments are typically well-tolerated with minimal discomfort — a slight warming or stinging sensation during the session.
How long do DPL photofacial results last?
Results can last 6 months to a year, with maintenance treatments recommended to prolong effects.
Past Client Experiences
"I have noticed a significant difference in the overall appearance of my skin and my friends and family have as well. I am excited to come in for follow-up sessions!"
"I came in 2 weeks ago for their Green Peel, which is a natural facial peel formulated with algae. It was my first time doing a skin peel so I was a bit anxious, but my tech Priscilla did a great job of informing me about the treatment throughout the process and about the aftercare."
"Overall - phenomenal experience. Staff from the estheticians to the front desk were so knowledgeable and kind."
"I got the Personalized Facial with a complimentary skin consultation with Xia. And it was so beyond amazing. This was by far one of the most intensive facials that I have ever gotten and I loved how much attention to detail Xia had throughout our entire session."

"Outstanding service and spa."
"The Glass Facial was amazing. They specialize in Korean Beauty and only use products gentle for your skin unlike many Western treatments. My skin looks great even days later. I still have a glow and glass look with just simple skin care and moisturizing like I normally do. I definitely recommend this salon and suggest you try the K-Beauty services!"

"This is definitely a place I trust and will keep coming back to for my future skincare treatments. Plus, reasonable price! Highly recommended!"
"It has been a month since I got Rejuran, and at least six people have complimented my skin since then! Izzy is amazing, her technique is professional and surprisingly painless, but what impressed me the most is her sense of aesthetics. She really listened to what I wanted, communicated actively with me, and confirmed everything carefully until I felt completely comfortable."

"I had my very first facial today with Hailey and it was such a great experience! I booked the aromatherapy, dermaplaning, glass skin facial, and LED light treatment, and she walked me through every step so I felt comfortable the whole time. She made sure I was comfortable and explained what each product was doing. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends!"
