What it is:
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is used to treat sun damage, wrinkles, stretch marks and age spots. IPL is also known as photo rejuvenation or photofacial. Treatments are performed at med spas and doctor’s offices and can be used to erase sun damage (sunspots), brown spots, freckles, birthmarks, acne scars, spider veins, rosacea and irregular pigmentation on the face, neck, or even chest.
How it works:
A photofacial uses intense (yet completely safe) pulsed light lasers to penetrate deep into the skin to treat the effects of aging, stimulate the natural growth of new skin, eliminate wrinkles, visible veins, brown spots, age spots, skin burns, acne, and fine lines.
What to expect:
First, we will apply a cool gel to the area and supply you with dark glasses to protect your eyes from the light. Once you’ve been prepped, your provider administering your treatment will take a hand-piece with a cold smooth surface and run it along your skin as it pulses light.
