Intense Pulsed Light therapy is a skin rejuvenation procedure that transforms red or blotchy skin resulting from sun damage, into a radiant complexion. This non-invasive treatment uses pulses of high-intensity light (not lasers) to improve the skin's appearance. Emitted at a variety of wavelengths, the light penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and causing blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict. Redness and aging discoloration are reduced with the growth of new collagen and removal of damaged skin. Skin rejuvenation patients who undergo IPLŪ treatments report only minimal discomfort. Mild redness and swelling may occur after the procedure but disappear shortly thereafter. Most benefits of skin rejuvenation with IPLŪ become increasingly noticeable in the weeks following treatment. Intense Pulsed Light has been effectively used to treat vascular lesions, rosacea, mild acne spots, hyperpigmentation, and is recommended for the chest area and arms. To achieve its fullest potential, a series of IPLŪ treatments may be necessary. With each procedure, the results will become more pronounced.
IPL/Laser photofacial is a non-invasive treatment using light frequencies to target excess pigment, as well as small veins and facial redness, without harming the surrounding skin. Rosacea, age spots, freckles, sun (brown) spots, broken capillaries, birthmarks and melasma are all forms of excess skin pigment. IPL/Laser photofacial removes or diminishes unwanted pigment, fragmenting and dispersing the excess melanin in the skin with light energy. IPL/Laser therapy also stimulates collagen production, resulting in plumper skin, improvement in the appearance of fine lines, and smaller pores. The end result is smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.
