IPL/PHOTOREJUVENATION

What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light, commonly known as IPL, delivers high intensity computer controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin and heat the sub-surface layers. The heating action damages or destroys problem conditions like excess pigment and unwanted spider veins, while stimulating healthy, new collagen. A series of IPL treatments can offer the benefits of a medium depth laser resurfacing or chemical peel without blisters, burns or long recovery time.

Who Are the Best Candidates for IPL?

These treatments are best for those who have: Red, flushed faces (This can be reduced by 80 to 90 percent!) Sun-damaged skin Hyper-pigmentation Enlarged pores

What Are Treatments Like?

Generally, 4 to 6 treatments are recommended at 3-week intervals. Each full-face treatment takes about 45 minutes. Many patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin. There is no discomfort following the treatment. The depth and degree of heat is highly controlled, so there are few risks and you may resume most normal activities right after an IPL treatment. Your skin may appear flushed, and tiny capillaries may appear more visible. Brown spots can also appear darker and you may experience some slight swelling, but all these changes fade over a period of hours to a few days.

What Results Can I Expect?

Beginning with your first treatment, your skin will have a more even tone, with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade, pore size will shrink, and fine wrinkle lines are reduced. Skin redness, flushing and dilated capillaries gradually decrease. Intense Pulsed Light treatments offer a very high measure of patient satisfaction. A recent study showed that 96% of IPL patients would recommend the treatment to others. Begin your series today and restore natural beauty to your skin with no downtime!
