IPL Treatments: Harness the Power of Light to Rejuvenate Your Skin

If you frown a little bit every time you see a picture of your red face or notice an uneven skin tone reflected back at you in the mirror, you are not alone. You also do not have to suffer. With innovative and non-invasive IPL treatments, you can reduce facial redness, fine lines, pigment spots, scarring and and other skin tone anomalies with the power of light. 

What is IPL?

Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, is an exciting photo facial treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target various skin concerns. IPL treatments involve the use of a hand-held device that emits multiple wavelengths to address several skin concerns at the same time. The light penetrates deep into the dermis. This in turn stimulates collagen production and targets pigmentation issues all within the space of approximately 30 minutes and with minimal discomfort.

Seeing Is Believing: The Benefits of IPL Treatment

There are many transformative benefits of IPL photo facial treatments. The top 5 benefits are:

  • Improved Skin Tone: IPL treatments create a smoother and more uniform complexion that seems radiant and more youthful.
  • Removal of Spots: IPL treatments break down the excess pigmentation of freckles and sunspots and reveal fresh, younger-looking skin.
  • Reduction of Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen, IPL treatments restore the elasticity of your skin, which causes fine lines and wrinkles to slip away.
  • Solution to Redness: Persistent facial redness, flushing, and rosacea can be significantly reduced by IPL treatments that target and shrink dilated blood vessels.
  • Acne Treatment: The wavelengths in an IPL treatment help reduce the inflammation of acne and prevent future breakouts.

IPL = TLC

IPL treatments are gentle and non-aggressive alternatives to other skin treatments that require incisions or injections. This means significant results with very little downtown and very little pain. In fact, an IPL treatment is often described as nothing more than a snapping feeling against the skin. Best of all, IPL’s effects are long-lasting and more than skin deep. The natural healing processes that IPL stimulates continue to develop after 30 minutes of treatment.

Optimum Results With IPL

While improvements can be seen after one IPL treatment, the number required to achieve optimal results depends on several factors including the severity of the issue being addressed, the depth of skin layer being treated, and how an individual’s skin type reacts to the treatment. Despite these individual differences, 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart are usually enough to achieve optimum results.
