Patients IPL results

We’re delighted with this patient's results after 4 of 6 Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatments. If years of sun exposure have left their mark on your skin, then a course of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) could provide you with fantastic, rejuvenated results.

This revolutionary treatment can help you reduce redness, even out pigmentation, and soften your skin's complexion for a healthier appearance.

IPL uses controlled light in specific wavelengths to alleviate the inflammation, redness, and uneven skin tones. The immediate result of aninitial IPL therapy is a decrease in skin discoloration and redness due to broken capillaries. Maintenance treatments help to keep your skin looking younger and healthy, promote collagen growth, prevent the effects of sun damage, and give the skin a healthy glow.

A handheld device is passed over your skin, sending pulses of broad spectrum light into the deep layers of the skin. Because this pulsing light reaches the skin on a molecular level, there are no incisions or injections.

The range of light waves in an IPL treatment target melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, meaning it targets red and brown in the skin. Resulting in the reduction of hyperpigmented spots, blemishes and blotches (brown marks) as well as reduction in the appearance of broken capillaries (red). IPL light waves also gently heat the deeper layers of skin. This stimulates collagen production, which reduces the appearance of fine lines, scars and wrinkles.

Unlike lasers, IPL produces more than one wavelength of pulsating light. As a result, IPL can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.
