This service treats appropriate areas across the face and neck, providing more comprehensive coverage than a Face Only IPL Photofacial.

Depending on your consultation and individual concerns, the treatment may include the:

• Forehead

• Temples

• Cheeks

• Nose

• Chin

• Jawline

• Front and sides of the neck

• Areas beneath the jaw

• Visible areas extending toward the base of the neck

The décolleté and upper chest are not included. If sun damage or pigmentation extends onto the chest, consider the IPL Face + Neck + Décolleté treatment.

A facial IPL treatment may improve the appearance of:

• Sun spots and age spots

• Brown spots and freckles

• Uneven facial pigmentation

• Visible sun damage

• Rosacea-related redness

• Persistent facial flushing

• Small visible blood vessels

• Broken capillaries

• Post-acne discoloration

• Dull or uneven-looking skin

• Early signs of photoaging

Because skin conditions can appear similar but require different care, every treatment begins with a professional assessment. Any new, changing, bleeding, irregular, or medically concerning spot should be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare professional before receiving an aesthetic treatment.

An IPL Photofacial may improve the appearance of:

• Sun spots and age spots

• Brown spots and freckles

• Uneven pigmentation

• Visible sun damage

• Persistent facial redness

• Rosacea-related redness

• Small visible blood vessels

• Broken capillaries

• Post-acne discoloration

• Dull or blotchy-looking skin

• Early visible signs of photoaging

• Differences in tone between the face and neck

Not every spot or skin condition is appropriate for IPL. Any new, changing, irregular, bleeding, or medically concerning lesion should be assessed by a qualified healthcare professional before cosmetic treatment.

More Consistent-Looking Skin Tone

Treating both areas helps reduce the visible contrast that can occur when the face appears clearer than the neck. The result is a more balanced transition from the face to the neckline.

Broader Sun-Damage Correction

The face and neck receive frequent ultraviolet exposure. IPL allows your provider to address suitable areas of discoloration across both zones during one appointment.

Reduced Appearance of Brown Spots

Light energy targets excess pigment responsible for freckles, age spots, and other suitable types of discoloration. Treated spots may gradually fade as the skin renews itself.

Calmer-Looking Redness

IPL can target small visible vessels and certain types of diffuse redness, helping both the face and neck appear more evenly toned.

Convenient Combined Treatment

Rather than booking separate appointments for each area, this service provides coordinated treatment of the face and neck in a single visit.

Minimal Downtime

Most clients can return to their normal routine shortly after treatment. Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling, or darkening of treated spots may occur.

Lumecca IPL delivers controlled pulses of light that are absorbed by targeted pigment and visible vessels.

Brown spots absorb the light energy and may temporarily become darker after treatment. Over the following days, the pigment may develop a speckled or coffee-ground-like appearance before naturally fading or flaking away.

Visible vessels absorb light differently. The energy causes the targeted vessels to heat and gradually become less noticeable as the body clears them.

Because the skin of the neck can differ from facial skin in thickness and sensitivity, your provider may adjust the treatment settings for each area. This individualized approach helps provide appropriate treatment across both zones.

1. Personalized Skin Assessment

Your provider will evaluate your skin tone, visible concerns, sun-exposure history, medications, previous treatments, and goals. Both the face and neck will be assessed before confirming that IPL is appropriate.

2. Treatment Preparation

The areas are thoroughly cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. A cooling gel may be applied to help the handpiece move comfortably across the skin.

3. Customized IPL Treatment

The Lumecca handpiece delivers short pulses of light across selected areas of the face and neck. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap.

4. Aftercare Instructions

Your provider will explain how to protect the treated areas, which skincare products to pause, and when you can return to your usual routine.

Some clients notice visible improvement after a single session. However, a series of treatments is often recommended when sun damage, pigmentation, or redness covers both the face and neck.

The number of sessions needed depends on:

• The severity and depth of pigmentation

• The amount of facial or neck redness

• Your skin characteristics

• Previous sun exposure

• Your response to treatment

• Your desired results

Appointments are generally spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to recover and respond. Your provider will recommend a suitable schedule after evaluating your skin.

Single Session

$650

A single treatment may be suitable for mild concerns, periodic maintenance, or clients beginning with one appointment before committing to a series.

We will give you preparation instructions based on your skin and treatment plan. General recommendations may include:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning

• Do not apply self-tanner to the face or neck

• Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily

• Pause retinoids and exfoliating products if directed

• Tell your provider about medications and supplements

• Disclose recent peels, injections, laser procedures, or other treatments

• Arrive with clean skin and no makeup, perfume, lotion, or fragranced products

• Avoid wearing clothing or accessories that rub tightly against the neck

Do not stop prescribed medication unless advised by the healthcare professional who prescribed it.

Aftercare is especially important because the neck is frequently exposed to sunlight and may experience friction from collars, jewelry, or scarves.

Following treatment:

• Apply only the soothing products recommended by your provider

• Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen on both the face and neck

• Avoid picking or exfoliating darkened spots

• Avoid excessive heat, hot tubs, saunas, and strenuous exercise as instructed

• Pause retinoids, acids, scrubs, and other strong products until approved

• Avoid direct sun exposure while the skin recovers

• Wear loose clothing around the neckline

• Avoid necklaces or accessories that irritate the treated skin

• Contact your provider if you experience an unexpected reaction

Consistent sun protection can help maintain your results and reduce the development of new pigmentation.

At Skin Bliss Med Spa, every IPL Photofacial begins with an individualized assessment. Your provider evaluates the face and neck separately, then selects appropriate settings based on the characteristics and concerns of each area.
