IPL/Photo Rejuvenation
Age spots, brown pigmentation, redness due to broken capillaries, and other signs of skin damage can be virtually erased by the non-invasive treatment known as IPL photorejuvenation. Without disrupting the surface of the skin, which minimizes discomfort and eliminates recovery time, IPL photorejuvenation is also effective in diminishing the appearance of large pores and rosacea.
Unlike other facial techniques, IPL photorejuvenation does not involve the removal of skin. It is a quick procedure that involves the pulsing of light across the skin with virtually no downtime afterwards. The pulse of light causes the blood vessels and collagen beneath the skin to constrict, thus reducing both redness and age spots while allowing you to leave the clinic and continue your day immediately.
Although the number of treatments may vary according to the condition of your skin, the sensation the procedure causes is mild, so multiple treatments are typically recommended.
As one of the safest light-based skin treatments available, IPL photorejuvenation may be an appropriate option for you. Contact us today for a free consultation.
FAQ
What other skin conditions can IPL/photo rejuvenation be used for?
Photo rejuvenation can also be used in the treatment of such things as sun damage, stretch marks, solar keratosis, or even what is commonly known as “spider veins.”
What is the advantage to using photo rejuvenation instead of a chemical peel or dermabrasion?
The use of a laser allows the surgeon to alter the procedure depending on different areas of the patient. Thus, the patient is able to receive a treatment specific to the features of their body.
What are the possible side effects?
Immediately after the treatment, minor side effects may be noticed, although they are rare. These include such things as the darkening of brown pigmented spots, an increase in the visibility of capillaries, and the targeted skin appearing flushed. For best results, and to reduce side effects, it is recommended that exposure to sun be limited several weeks prior to and after each treatment.
