Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Imagine reducing the effects of sun damage. Photo rejuvenation using IPL is a non-invasive treatment that treats skin damage without disruption of the skin’s surface, hence, no “down time”. Intense Pulsed Light [IPL] can simultaneously treat a wide range of facial concerns such as broken capillaries [Roscae], benign brown pigment, age spots [sun-induced freckles], mottled pigmentation and pikiloderma.

Intense Pulsed Light [IPL] technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo aging, pigmentation, freckles, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. A solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction, through a new process called Photo rejuvenation.

 

Best Candidate

 Have Imperfections from Sun Damage and Photo-aging.
Facial imperfections or abnormalities can detract from your well being an appearance, no matter how healthy and young 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.

 

The Procedure

A cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you will 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 is seldom required.

 

 Subsequent Treatments

 Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.

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 all your daily 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.

In some cases for minor capillaries only one treatment is required.
