Better Looking Skin in the Flash of a Light!
The signs of aging go beyond fine lines and wrinkles. Photo damage is the result of a lifetime of ultraviolet light exposure. The visible signs include pigmentary changes, course skin texture, spider veins, facial redness, enlarged pores, and of course, wrinkles. Intense Pulsed Light treatments are designed to combat the effects of aging with a gentle approach.
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
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!
