What is an Angelic Lift?
An Angelic Lift is an exciting anti-aging and skin-smoothing treatment that we are proud to offer our patients at our clinic. This procedure is our innovative interpretation of the beautifully safe and effective IPL laser treatment. The Angelic Lift offers our patients an easy yet powerful method of attaining a more youthful, radiant complexion without the worry of significant downtime or side effects.
Benefits of IPL Laser Treatments
Improved Skin Tone and Texture
IPL laser treatments help to improve skin tone and texture through promoting skin regeneration. Following a laser treatment, dead skin cells are sloughed off, replaced by newly generated skin cells beneath. This skin will be smoother and more taut without visible damage or discoloration.
Reduced Signs of Aging
Because IPL lasers promote collagen production in the skin and promote a tighter, more youthful appearance, this treatment can effectively reduce the appearance of visible fine lines and wrinkles.
Less Visible Acne and Acne Scarring
IPL laser treatments work to reduce the visibility of acne and acne-scarring by killing acne-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin, balancing out oil production and breaking up skin pigment.
How Does IPL Laser Treatment Work?
The Angelic Lift, or IPL laser treatment, works through the use of light energy, or ‘lasers.’ This treatment utilizes multiple wavelengths of pulsating energy to target specific areas of the skin. The light energy will be absorbed into the cells of the targeted area and be converted into heat energy that causes damage to the cells. In turn, this will promote cell regeneration, as the skin will naturally produce new cells to replace the damaged ones. The result is smoother, more radiant skin after just one treatment!
Following an Angelic Lift, you can expect to see some discoloration in the skin and uneven texture. As time goes on and your skin creates new cells to replace the damaged ones, the dead skin cells will naturally begin to slough off the face, revealing smooth, radiant skin beneath. This process typically takes about two to four weeks to fully settle in, depending on the individual patient and the strength of lasers used.

While IPL laser treatments do offer long-lasting and effective results, the effects are not permanent. This is due to the natural process of skin cell regeneration and turnover that each of us experience. IPL laser treatments will need to be repeated in a regimented fashion in order to maintain a smooth, balanced complexion.
When planning for an upcoming Angelic Lift or IPL laser treatment, it’s important to discuss any pre-care needs with your provider. It’s often recommended that patients avoid direct sunlight for two weeks prior to your procedure and to discontinue the use of specific skincare ingredients, including: vitamin C, tretinoin, retinol, acids, and benzoyl peroxide. In addition, many providers will ask that their patients avoid antibiotics prior to treatment, as they can increase photosensitivity.
Following an Angelic Lift procedure, it’s important to anticipate some downtime for recovery to allow your skin space to begin the regeneration process. This can vary from patient to patient, but on average it’s recommended that patients plan for limited social availability for two to five days following an IPL treatment. The skin will also be more photosensitive in this state, so it’s recommended to limit or outright avoid sun exposure during this time.
Yes, IPL laser treatments are safe and effective to use throughout the body. In addition to the face and neck, this type of procedure is often used on the legs and hands to combat the appearance of veins and the signs of aging.
If you are considering pursuing IPL laser treatments through our Angelic Lift procedure, you may be wondering about the associated cost per treatment. While this does differ from provider to provider, a single IPL treatment typically falls within $300 – $500. Many providers will offer a discount on packages of multiple treatments, with lower costs associated per treatment as a result. Because patients do often require a series of IPL laser treatments to achieve and maintain their skin aesthetic goals, this more affordable IPL cost is preferred.
For patients who are interested in partaking in IPL laser treatments but are concerned about the cost, we are happy to help at Angelic Lift. Our team of certified experts will be able to work with you to determine the best treatment options or alternatives to pursue based on your individual goals and budgetary needs.
