IPL season is here!

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments can only be safely performed late September through early April because sun exposure increases the risk of pigmentation changes and skin sensitivity.

If you’ve been considering IPL for:
• rosacea
• sun damage
• uneven skin tone
• facial redness
• broken capillaries

Now is the perfect time to schedule. This treatment works best when your skin has had less sun exposure and fall/winter provide the ideal conditions.

Appointments fill quickly during IPL season, so reach out if you’d like to reserve a spot → https://athensfamilyvision.com/

• Difficulty reading or driving at night

We’re here to help you stay comfortable, confident, and seeing clearly. Your eyes support you every day, so give them the care they deserve.
