IPL Photo Facial
In the last decade, intense pulse light therapy (IPL) has been devised to rejuvenate the face, treat acne and/or erase the fine lines. IPL is slightly different from a laser.
It is a broad band of intense light which is used to treat a variety of skin disorders, like facial pigments, brown spots or wrinkles. Unlike a laser, treatment with IPL is much
faster and the results are also more rapid. IPL therapy sessions are usually done as an outpatient in a clinic or a spa. The treatment time depends on the area being treated and
there is little or no downtime afterwards. The procedure usually takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes and is relatively painless. Few individuals do develop some redness which can
easily be concealed with facial make up.
The IPL treatment is perfect for the individual who has signs of photo aging. Individuals who have Rosacea, reddish discoloration,
melasma, enlarge pored or fine lines show the best response. The results of IPL are not immediate but take a few weeks to become obvious. The end result is a significant decrease
in skin blotches and the appearance of an aesthetically pleasing youthful face.
IPL can be used to treat photo aged skin on the face, neck, chest and hands. Both men and
women are candidates for this treatment.
IPL photo facial treatments are slightly more expensive than dermabrasion or chemical peels but much less expensive than laser
skin rejuvenation.
