IPL Photofacial Treatments for Sun Damaged Skin
The simple passage of time, along with the stresses, and pleasures of life, accelerate the aging of our skin. Rejuvenation utilizing IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive procedure that treat skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface; hence, no “down time”. These procedures may be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns safely and effectively. These concerns may include brown or dark pigmentation areas, broken capillaries, rosacea, enlarged pores, acne and others.
A typical treatment with the IPL technology is short in time and relatively simple. The practitioner will pulse the selected laser directly onto the skin. You may feel some minor sensations, such as a warming, or a “tingling”, similar to the slight snap of a rubber band. Treatments typically take about 25 minutes, and a series of treatments provide excellent long-term results. Immediately following your treatment, you are free to return to your normal daily activities, and you may also apply makeup to the treated area.
Benefits of Photo Rejuvenation?
Results include improved appearance of sun spots, age spots, dull complexion, uneven pigmentation, large pores, sun-damaged skin, and early signs of aging. Improves red flushed skin, as well as “smoothing” of the texture of the skin.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare, but immediately after treatment the skin may appear flushed and pigmented spots may be darkened. These reactions soon pass and disappear entirely in a few days. Most patients see a 70% to 90% improvement following their prescribed series of treatments.
How many treatments will be needed?
More than one treatment may be needed for your particular skin needs. Your practitioner will be able to advise you prior to your first appointment.
