Pigment & Vascularity
When it comes to finding technology that produces quick, satisfying and remarkable results in reducing excess pigmentation and redness, IPL is your best bet. With minimal recovery time, the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial is one of the most popular treatment options available for some of the most common skin concerns. This treatment only takes an hour and is not invasive. When supported by the correct skincare at home, IPL treatments can create beautiful, noticeable change in your skin’s health and appearance.
HYPERPIGMENTATION: The IPL photofacial uses light to even out your complexion by targeting the reds and browns in and on the skin most commonly caused by sun damage and broken capillaries. Firsttime patients need anywhere from 3 to 6 treatments at intervals of three to four weeks apart depending on severity of their skin condition and the desired result. Minimal maintenance will be needed from 1 to 3 times a year thereafter, based on your lifestyle and use of the proper skincare products and sun protection. Many people think of IPLs as a facial treatment, but it will also work wonderfully on your neck, chest, hands, shoulders, legs, or anywhere you have accumulated sun damage.
ROSACEA & REDNESS: IPL works to cauterize and destroy small, excessive capillaries in the skin that cause redness and a veiny appearance. Those suffering from rosacea often find IPL treatments beneficial in addressing many of their bothersome symptoms. Rosacea is chronic and a new patient may need a series of 6 or more treatments initially with minimal maintenance thereafter. If your rosacea is less severe, fewer treatments may be indicated. A consultation with one of our providers will allow for the creation of a customized treatment and homecare plan based on your individual needs.
ACNE: IPL has proven to be a great method for the reduction of active acne and discolored scarring. The light generates heat which helps kill acnecausing bacteria and prevents further breakouts. Oftentimes, acne leaves unsightly marks long after the lesions have healed, making it appear that you still have acne. IPL treatments are excellent for reducing these marks and restoring an even and youthful skin tone. The correct homecare regimen will enhance these results and help you maintain clear, gorgeous skin.
