Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
 IPL is not a
laser but a light device that uses filters to determine what
wavelengths of light are delivered. It does what lasers do (It
smells like a laser, it tastes like a laser, in all practicality it
is a laser). 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 face and body.
It targets both pigment (in moles,
freckles/blemishes, sun damaged skin, age spots) and hemoglobin in
blood vessels (spider veins). A series of IPL Skin Treatments using
Photorejuvenation helps restore a more youthful appearance without
the patient downtime.
The treatment consists of the noninvasive
application of intense pulsed light (IPL) to the skin. Generally,
five or more treatments, spaced approximately three weeks apart, are
required to see results. Treatment is performed in our office
following application of an anesthetic cream to the skin. Unlike
more invasive procedures, there is no “down time” with IPL treatment
so you may resume normal activities immediately.
