Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser treatment
IPL can treat brown spots (sun spots), telangiectasias (dilated blood vessels), and rosacea and can be used to decrease wrinkles and tighten skin (facial rejuvenation)
How Does IPL work?
IPL uses light energy to target brown spots and red blood vessels or stimulate collagen and elastic tissue in the skin. It can improve skin tone, texture, and pigmentation.
Why Choose IPL Treatment?
Our advanced IPL system delivers incredible results with less downtime, thanks to its non-ablative nature.
What to Expect During IPL
The skin treatment area is cleansed, and a thin layer of gel is applied before the IPL device is used. The treatment typically takes 10 – 30 minutes to perform, depending on the size of the treatment area. After treatment, the skin will be cleaned off again. A cold compress may be applied to the area, and moisturizer and sunscreen may be used.
How Many Treatments Are Needed and How Often?
It is common for patients to have 2-4 IPL treatments, depending on the area of the skin being treated and the treatment itself. For example, treating age or sunspots may require fewer treatments than treating rosacea. Sessions should be done roughly 4 weeks apart to give the skin time to heal between treatments.
Typically, patients begin to see results just one week after treatment, with optimal results achieved upon completion of the series.
