IPL – Intense Pulsed Light
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photo rejuvenation is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that targets the cells that cause pigmentation, sun damage, and redness of the skin.
By reducing the appearance of age spots, sun-damaged skin, and vascular lesions, IPL treatments help to restore a more youthful appearance. IPL is gentler than laser treatments and is useful on patients who aren’t in need of extensive treatment
Uses for IPL:
- Post inflammatory Acne Scars
- Birthmarks
- Rosacea
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Spider Veins
- Stretch Mark discoloration
- Sun damage
Numbing cream and cold gel is applied to the skin prior to treatment to help with any discomfort. The eyes are also protected from the intense light. Typically, an average treatment takes about 30 minutes and patients are able to return to their normal routine with sun protection applied immediately after treatment.
