Intense Pulsed Light therapy, also known as photofacial, is an exciting technological breakthrough which provides safe and effective treatment of unwanted skin imperfections and discolorations. This unique technology sends a broad spectrum of therapeutic light into the skin which treats a wide range of skin conditions and imperfections all at once while stimulating collagen growth. IPL gives you the benefit of a medium depth laser or chemical peel without blisters, burns or recovery time. It is also the only proven therapy to help with redness (roscea, flushing). And to boot, many patients report a reduction in pore size, smoother skin and less wrinkles!
An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off or absorbed by the body's activated immune system. Treatment can be given as frequently as every two weeks.
