IPL

IPL Technology, also referred to as Fotofacial, improves the appearance of photo-aged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called Photo Rejuvenation for face and body.

IPL Skin Treatments using Photo Rejuvenation help restore a more youthful appearance without patient downtime. It is a new technology that gradually and naturally restores a smooth even surface to your face, hands and chest. Today’s active lifestyle doesn’t leave much time for recovery from a cosmetic procedure, which is why IPL technology is one of the the single best technologies for overall skin improvement.

IPL treats a wide variety of skin conditions:
Sun damage
Flushing
Skin texture
Redness
Broken capillaries
Brown spots
Age spots
Dark circles around the eyes
Sun-induced freckles on the hands, chest, and face
Broken capillaries around the nose
Excels in helping the reduction of fine wrinkles and large pores.

How IPL Works
During treatment, the IPL wavelength is optimized so that the energy is absorbed only by the unwanted melanin, raising the temperature to cause shattering of the pigment. Deeper level damaged blood vessels are treated at the same time.

Shortly after treatment, the unwanted pigment cells (or melanin) have been thoroughly fragmented without damage to the surrounding tissue. Vascular lesions are heated, causing coagulation and shrinking of the vessels..

In the weeks after treatment, the shattered melanin particles are eliminated through a process which causes the fragmented pigments and damaged melanocytes to be absorbed by the body. Little or no trace of the initial lesion remains. The treated vessels deeper within the epidermis are reabsorbed by the body in much the same way.

Because the treatment is gentle, there is no interruption of routine activities. By helping to remove the age spots (sun-induced freckles) and broken capillaries, the result is overall younger looking skin. Improvement is subtle and accomplished over a series of treatments so the patient’s skin does not appear obviously treated.
