A non-invasive cosmetic treatment that treats age spots and sun damage with high-intensity pulses of light.
What is it?
IPL can help improve the appearance of unwanted age spots and sun damage. IPL or Intense Pulsed Light (also known as Photofacial and BroadBand Light), treats your skin deep under the surface using a specific wavelength of light. Treatment increases the natural collagen production of your skin while targeting unwanted brown spots, redness, and rosacea. The result is long-lasting improvement in the overall tone and texture of the skin.
What to expect
IPL sessions take between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. During the treatment, most patients feel a slight warming of the skin and mild discomfort. Right after your session, your skin may be red and slightly swollen. In the days after treatment, dark spots on the skin may appear darker, typically flaking off within a week. Most patients get a series of IPL treatments to reach their desired results.
