What is Intense Pulsed Light? Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is a breakthrough treatment that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, signs of photo-aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. It offers a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction, through a new process called photorejuvenation.

How is Photo Rejuvenation performed?

A cold gel is applied on the area to be treated and dark glasses are put on to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are emitted. You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a rubber band. An anesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required. Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions and provides excellent long-term results. Minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction are noted. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.

Why are multiple treatments necessary?

Depending on the number of conditions you are treating and the severity of the individual problem, a series of 4 to 6 treatment sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your regular activities. By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk and it preserves the “no down time” feature that people appreciate.

How do other treatments compare to Photo Rejuvenation?

While there are lasers that treat telangiectasia and broken capillaries, no technology provides the long-term improvement in complexion and texture of the IPL “Skin Treatments” using the photo rejuvenation program without the slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.

What conditions can Photo Rejuvenation treat?

Imperfections from Sun Damage and Photo-Aging
Facial imperfections or abnormalities can be very unsightly no matter how healthy and young you feel. IPL technology helps create smoother-looking skin. After a series of treatments, you can see significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation. The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, chest, arms and hands.

Benign Vascular Lesions: Broken Veins and Capillaries
The face has an extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure, and other external factors cause a number of them to break, appearing as red streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy can eliminate these damaged veins and capillaries, removing traces of these unsightly blemishes.

Redness Caused by Broken Capillaries
Many people suffer from capillaries and diffuse erythema that cause them social embarrassment. For both women and men, IPL can successfully treat dilated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.

Both the pleasures and stresses of life, along with the simple passage of time, tend to cause our skin to appear older. The signs of photo-aging and sun damage are typically most visible on a person’s face and body. While numerous treatments from simple creams to major surgeries exist to improve various facial flaws, skin specialists have always sought dramatic improvement with low risk and no “down time procedure.” Additionally, many conventional treatment options can only address one condition at a time, and they entail a prolonged recovery served, considerable pain, and potential side effects.

Imagine Reducing the Effects of Sun Damage.

Photo Rejuvenation using IPL is a non-invasive treatment that treats skin damage without disruption of the skin’s surface - hence, no “down time”. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can simultaneously treat a wide range of facial concerns safely and effectively, such as broken capillaries, benign brown pigments, age spots (sun-induced freckles), mottled pigmentation and poikiloderma.
