INTENSE PULSED LIGHT PHOTOREJUVENATION

Dermatologists have developed a non- surgical alternative to laser skin resurfacing using intense pulses of light. Photorejuvenation, also known as 'photo facial,' is a non-invasive method that revitalizes your appearance without recovery downtime. The procedure corrects and may actually reverse a variety of skin conditions and facial imperfections, particularly the signs of aging. This thoroughly tested therapy provides long-term improvement to the complexion and texture of the skin. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a FDA approved, patented technology that pulses broad spectrum light to treat the skin and eliminate signs of aging while stimulating collagen production. Within a few treatments, you will see firmer and smoother skin with a decrease in fine lines and light wrinkles.

IPL is also used to treat facial spider veins, vascular birth marks, broken capillaries, hemangiomas (slightly raised red blood vessels), rosacea, age spots, and freckles. Some blemishes can be treated in one session, while others require multiple treatments.

We individually customize a treatment program based on your specific needs and desired results. Each treatment is approximately 45 minutes, and is scheduled anywhere between one to three weeks apart. The number of treatments necessary will be determined by our highly trained medical aesthetician.

The best candidates for photo facial treatments are: people who suffer from rosacea and experience flushing and redness of their skin, those with early aging signs and sun damage who desire a healthier, more youthful appearing skin, people who don’t want to take time off for laser resurfacing or chemical peels, and active people who want to improve their skin but do not want to interfere with social or outdoor activities.

The light pulses by the IPL machine feel much like the flick of a rubber band. Most people tolerate the minor discomfort well. We use a topical anesthetic with cryo cooling to make you more comfortable. There is no discomfort after treatments. Immediately following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed, and tiny capillaries may appear more visible temporarily. Brown spots generally appear darker. All of these changes gradually fade over a period of hours to a few days. After your first treatment, your skin will feel smoother and will have a more even tone. These improvements are gradual and will be increasingly more visible after each treatment.
