Enhance Your Skin With Intense Pulse Light Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an innovative treatment that can precisely target pigment issues, such as sun damage, red spots, rosacea, and brown spots. Unlike alternative cosmetic options, IPL therapy does not require the use of invasive surgical techniques. Instead, this treatment utilizes a broad spectrum of light to safely and effectively resolve the most common skin problems.
The Benefits of the IPL Photofacial
During IPL therapy, your skin will be exposed to high energy, broad-spectrum waves to help treat your specific problem areas. The light energy is converted to heat energy and eliminates the active melanin-producing cells in the lower layers of your skin.
The light will be used to help restore the skin’s condition and stimulate collagen production. The treatment usually takes several sessions for a noticeable change and it can be used to treat the following conditions:
Hyperpigmentation
Acne Scarring
Sun Damage
Rosacea
Large Pores
Age Spots
What to Expect During an IPL Therapy Session
IPL therapy is normally performed over the course of several sessions. The results you see will continue to develop and improve over the course of these sessions. At the beginning of each visit, Dr. Reid will apply a cooling gel to the skin to be treated. She will then use the handheld IPL device to target and treat pigmentation, visible veins, and other blemishes you want to be removed.
Customizing Your Therapy Session
There’s no one size fits all approach to cosmetic procedures like IPL therapy. Dr. Reid will work diligently to customize a unique approach that will help satisfy your individual aesthetic goals. During a consultation with Dr. Reid, you can discuss the areas of the body that you would like treated so she can develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs. IPL therapy can be used to treat the following areas:
Face
Neck
Chest
Hands
Shoulders
Legs
Arms
What to Expect After IPL Therapy
After undergoing IPL therapy, the results you see initially will continue to improve over the course of time, with the best results seen after about three months. If you practice a regular skincare routine, you can maintain the results for a long time with repeat treatments recommended every year for the best results. Since the treatment is non-invasive, patients can safely return to their normal daily activities without the need for downtime and recovery.
