IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

 

Intense Pulsed Light (IPLTM)

What is Intense Pulsed Light?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPLTM) technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo-aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes.  It offers safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction, through a new process called phtorejuvenation.

How is Phtorejuvenation performed?

A cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light.  The smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied.  You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band.  An anesthetic cream may be used, but I seldom required.  Treatment is generally administered in a series of four to six sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction.  Each treatment takes about one hour.

Why are multiple treatments necessary?

Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem, a series of four to six treatment sessions may be recommended.  You can return to work the same day and resume allyour regular activities.  By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk – and, it preserves the wonderful “no down time” feature that people appreciate so much.

How do other treatments compare to Photorejuvenation?

While there are lasers that treat telangiectasia and broken capillaries and other lasers that treat benign brown pigments, no technology provides the long-term improvement of complexion and texture than IPL skin treatments – all without the slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.

What conditions can Photorejuvenation treat?

Imperfections from Sun Damage and Photo-aging

Facial imperfection or abnormalities can detract from your well-being and appearance, no matter how healthy and you feel.  IPL technology helps create smoother-looking skin.  After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation.  The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, chest, arms and hands.

Benign Vascular Lesions:  Broken Veins and Capillaries

The face has an extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels called capillaries.  Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure, and certain lifestyle factors cause a number of them to break appearing as red streaks or blotches on the face.  IPL therapy can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by removing virtually all traces of these unsightly blemishes.

Redness Caused by Broken Capillaries

Many people suffer from broken capillaries and diffuse erythema, that cause them social embarrassment.  For both women and men, IPL can successfully treat dilated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.
