IPL - Intense Pulse Light therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a type of light-based treatment used to improve the appearance of skin. It works by targeting problem areas with short pulses of high-intensity light energy, which effectively reduces or eliminates blemishes and discoloration. IPL is most commonly used to treat sun damage, age spots, rosacea, acne scars, uneven skin tones, and large pores. The procedure can also be used to remove unwanted hair from any area of the face or body.
IPL penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin without causing significant damage to the epidermis. As it passes through the outer layers of skin, the light energy converts into heat energy, which in turn stimulates collagen production and repairs damaged cells beneath the surface. IPL helps improve skin tone while reducing dark spots and redness. Additionally, IPL treatments can also help even out blotchy areas caused by acne scarring or hyperpigmentation.
SEVERAL ADVANTAGES
One of the main advantages of IPL therapy is that it has minimal side effects when compared to other types of laser treatments. IPL treatments are non-invasive and require no downtime afterward; patients may experience some slight redness immediately following treatment which usually fades within a few hours. Moreover, since IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light with adjustable intensity settings, it can be tailored to each individual client's needs in order to achieve optimal results with minimal discomfort.
COLLAGEN PRODUCING
For best results, multiple sessions are typically recommended for IPL therapy depending on a patient's desired outcome; some clients may require up to six sessions spaced two weeks apart in order to achieve desired results, but usually achieve optimal outcomes with about three treatments 4 weeks apart. We offer a complimentary touch up at 6 months for those that purchase a package. Following treatment, most patients will begin to notice an improvement within one week with full results visible after 4-6 weeks as collagen production increases beneath their skin’s surface over time.
