Photorejuvenation (IPL)
What is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, also known as a Photo-Facial or Photorejuvenation, can successfully treat: Brown spots (age spots, liver spots, photo-aging (rough texture, red and brown discolorations) ,facial veins (telangiectasias), redness and brown mottled pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands, rosacea, actinic keratoses (pre-cancers). IPL will also improve skin tone and texture, resulting in more vibrant, radiant skin.
How many treatments do I need?
We recommend 4 to 6 treatments between 3 to 4 weeks apart for the most effective results. During your consultation, we will take a number of factors into consideration including the area of the body treated, the amount of damage you have, skin type, and ethnicity when creating your treatment plan.
How soon will I notice results?
Many clients will begin to see results after the first treatment. You should expect your skin to look slightly pink and be a little more sensitive than usual for a few days. For those clients with more extensive damage (the IPL's target area), you may be experience peeling as the damaged areas slough off.
How does IPL Technology work?
IPL is like a laser, but it works with multiple wavelengths instead of just one, which is how lasers work. The Prolite II is one of the most powerful, state-of-the-art, advanced IPL devices available. Because of this advanced technology, better results and fewer treatments are expected than with other IPL devices.
More aggressive IPL treatments at higher power levels are available that produce results sooner (2-4 treatments) but may produce some temporary crusting and/or bruising of the skin. Microdermabrasion can be performed just prior to your treatment to enhance your results.
Preparation before your treatment:
You must not be tan on the treated areas! Avoid self-tanners for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. The treated area(s) must be clean, without makeup.
What to expect after your treatment:
After IPL your skin will appear red for up to several hours. You may also develop a brown, freckled appearance, which looks like “coffee grinds”. This occurs in areas of brown pigmentation and can last several days to a week.
