IPL Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation
We are all searching for a way to turn back time and look younger, especially when we see dull skin, wrinkles, or an uneven complexion in the mirror. With non-invasive Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, you can be confident about your rejuvenated skin. Here is a quick look at the benefits of IPL therapy treatments:
How does IPL therapy work?
By using Intense Pulsed Light, a dermatologist can erase signs of aging from your face, neck, chest, and hands. Different wavelengths of high-intensity light are used to treat a variety of skin conditions, which can help you achieve a clearer complexion and younger-looking skin without undergoing an invasive procedure.
What can IPL therapy treat?
IPL therapy can be the solution to a multitude of skin problems, such as fine lines, red blemishes, enlarged pores, rough skin, loss of elasticity, rosacea, tattoos, minor sun damage, broken blood vessels, freckles or age spots, and even spider veins.
How many treatments will I need?
Treatment time varies based on the targeted site and end goal; generally, a treatment program includes four to six sessions of about 20-30 minutes each. Unlike laser resurfacing or dermabrasion treatments, there is virtually no downtime with IPL. Patients who undergo IPL will not blister, burn, or have a long recovery period.
Am I a good candidate for IPL?
If you are prone to excessive scarring, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, or have diabetes, you may not be a good candidate for IPL. Discuss your candidacy with your dermatologist before choosing this treatment option.
