CollaPhoto
CollaPhoto
A targeted combination of our Eltraderm Advanced Collagen Facial and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment. This rejuvenating duo helps to even skin tone, reduce pigmentation and redness, and stimulate collagen production for smoother, more radiant skin. It works to refine texture, minimize the appearance of sun damage and discoloration, and restore a healthy, youthful glow — with little downtime. Perfect for those looking to brighten dull or uneven skin while enhancing firmness and overall luminosity.
We strongly recommend booking a complimentary consultation prior to purchase to ensure the treatment is right for you and to create a personalized plan. For best results, multiple sessions are typically required.
By pairing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) with the Eltraderm Advanced Collagen facial, you are creating a dynamic treatment that shattered pigment and redness from the outside while flooding the freshly treated cells with deep, topical nourishment to minimize downtime.
What It Does:
Targets Sun Damage: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets melanin in the skin, breaking up dark spots, sun spots, freckles, and age spots.
Saturates Skin with Essential Nutrients: The Eltraderm Advanced Collagen facial instantly bathes the skin in medical-grade soluble collagen, cooling the tissue and sealing in hydration.
Brightens + Refines Overall Tone: Reverses dullness across the entire face, resulting in a remarkably uniform, luminous + photo-ready skin tone.
Ideal For:
Hyperpigmentation, sun damage + uneven skin discoloration
Dull, tired-looking complexions that need an intense radiance boost
Skin showing early signs of photoaging (premature aging caused by UV rays)
Not Recommended For:
Deeply tanned skin or recent sun exposure (including self-tanners) within the last 4 weeks
Clients taking photosensitizing medications
Darker skin types (Fitzpatrick skin types V–VI) without a strict prior consultation and test patch
How to Prep for Your CollaPhoto Treatment
2–4 Weeks Before (Crucial for IPL Safety):
Do not intentionally tan, sit out in the sun, or use self-tanning lotions. IPL targets pigment; if your skin has active melanin from recent UV exposure, it significantly increases the risk of superficial burns.
3–5 Days Before:
Discontinue use of retinols, retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, Vitamin C serums, and harsh manual facial scrubs.
Day of Treatment:
Do not apply makeup, moisturizers, perfumes, or essential oils to the treatment area.
Inform your provider of every medication or supplement you have taken in the last 7 days.
Immediately After
Pigment spots will often look darker immediately after treatment, turning a light brown or grey color (resembling tiny coffee grounds). This is exactly what we want! They will naturally flake away within 7 to 14 days.
Skin will feel like a mild sunburn. The Eltraderm collagen layer serves to soothe this warmth and speed up recovery.
First 48 Hours:
Avoid hot water, intense workouts, steam rooms, and saunas. Wash your face only with cool or lukewarm water.
Never scratch, scrub, or pick at the darkening pigment spots. Let them slough off entirely on their own to prevent scarring.
Daily Essentials:
Stick to a simple, ultra-hydrating routine using a gentle cleanser and a barrier-repair moisturizer to complement the Eltraderm infusion.
Your skin is highly vulnerable to new UV damage right now. Apply a broad-spectrum zinc- or titanium-dioxide-based SPF 50+ every morning, even on cloudy days.
Why Choose the CollaPhoto Combination?
While an IPL photofacial is unmatched at pulling stubborn pigment and redness out of the skin, it can temporarily leave the skin barrier feeling dry and exposed. CollaPhoto solves this completely. By pairing the pigment-shattering power of IPL with the immediate cooling, moisture-binding matrix of the Eltraderm Advanced Collagen facial, we maximize your results while minimizing downtime. Your hyperpigmentation is treated, and your skin barrier is left fortified, deeply hydrated + glowing.
