IPL Photofacial

 
 

IPL is Intense Pulsed Light, also known as photorejuvenation or photofacial. Intense pulse light therapy requires virtually no downtime while it rejuvenates the skin and restores a youthful glow. As skin ages its texture becomes rougher and brown spots and capillaries(tiny blood vessels) develop.  IPL is able to improve skin texture, reduce brown spots, erase broken capillaries, and diminish the flushing and redness associated with rosacea.

 

IPL works by emitting an intense light that passes through the top layer of skin (the epidermis) and penetrates to the deeper layer (dermis) where blood vessels, melanin, and collagen are found.  The intense light heats up the melanin and small blood vessels causing them to break down or rupture. Over the following 2-3 weeks, brown spots or freckles will darken and then flake off, and tiny red veins will shrink and be reabsorbed by the body. Warming of the dermis stimulates some collagen production causing an increase in skin smoothness and a decrease in the appearance of fine lines and pores.

Before and After Pictures:

 

 

 

A series of 4 to 5 IPL treatments is recommended for best results but we do offer single treatments as well.  Any area can be treated including face, neck, chest, hands, back, arms and legs.  Most patients describe treatment sensation as “a snapping rubberband” or "a warm flash.”  

 

IPL therapy for the full face may take 20 minutes. There is no down time with this treatment.  Patients are able to return to work and resume all regular activities immediately.
