IPL Photorejuvenation

IPL Technology improves the appearance of photoaged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called photorejuvenation for the face and body. IPL skin treatments using photorejuvenation helps restore a more youthful appearance without the patient having downtime.

IPL (intense pulsed light) is a safe and effect system using pulse widths, cooling delays and fluence to achieve output of the light. The patient is treated with the IPL through a clear gel solution. After each treatment you will notice the age spots darken and after 10-14 days the darkened areas will slough off. For broken capillaries you will notice a blanching of the area with reduce visible signs of red capillaries. It is recommended that 3-5 treatments are needed to achieve desired results. Each treatment is scheduled 2-3 weeks apart.
