The Science of Light: IPL Skin Rejuvenation Helps Restore the Skin’s Youthful Glow

There are an overwhelming number of options available to improve the skin’s appearance, from creams and peels to microdermabrasion and laser treatments. Can any of these procedures provide significant improvement without interrupting daily routines?

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation offers a solution that:

• Addresses skin conditions that are most visible
• Treats the entire face, not only small spots
• Causes little discomfort
• Offers an immediate return to routine activities
• Provides gradual, natural-looking improvement
• Produces long-lasting results

Photorejuvenation with IPL is the most versatile of all treatment options. IPL can treat numerous skin conditions at once. It is effective on red blemishes that originate from blood vessels, as well as brown pigment blemishes in the form of freckles, age spots and other sun damage. IPL also treats the neck, chest, arms, legs, hands (whole body), where sun damage is often most visible.

IPL is the gold standard for photorejuvenation. This FDA-cleared, patented technology provides dramatic results for a variety of benign conditions, including age spots, sun-induced freckles, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, acne scarring and other blemishes — even unwanted hair.

We offer IPL to address skin irregularities and complexion problems including redness, flushing and broken capillaries. Our focus is to treat patients who simply want to revitalize their appearance without recovery downtime.

What to Expect

Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the areas to be treated and patients wear protective eyewear. During treatment, a trained team member gently applies the smooth, crystalline surface of the IPL handpiece to the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pulses that are typically pain-free. Occasionally some signs of treatment, such as redness, can last for one or two hours. In most cases, the entire face is treated, but the therapy can also work well on the neck, chest, arms, legs, hands (whole body). Results from a full series of treatments usually last for a year or more.
