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 Micro Peel without
blisters, burns or long recovery time.
Who Are the Best Candidates for IPL?
These treatments are best for those
who have:
- Rosacea
- Red, flushed faces (This can be
reduced by 80 to 90 percent!)
- Sun-damaged skin
- Hyper-pigmentation
- Enlarged pores
What Are Treatments Like?
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.

your skin with no downtime!
