Remove unwanted pigment lesions with a simple flash of

What is Intense Pulsed Light?
IPL technology or “selective photothermolysis” is a
treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign
skin conditions, such as sun damage, telangiectasias,
hemangiomas, rosacea, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and
angiomas on the face and other body areas.
A specialized handpiece which filters light, therefore using
specific wavelengths of light, is used to selectively target
pigment (melanin).
What should I expect during a treatment?
After your extensive consultation to ensure you are a
candidate for IPL with our Certified Medical Electrologist,
you may begin treatment. A test spot will be performed to
evaluate any potential adverse reactions. Depending on your
skin type this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a day to
evaluate.
A flashing light, an audible tone, and a mild, gentle "snap"
sensation will tell you when the handpiece is being pulsed.
An ice roller will be placed on the skin to soothe any
discomfort and reduce any redness or swelling.
To be a candidate for this treatment, you should be out of direct sunlight for a minimum of
3
weeks before your appointment, and should not have a tan on the
skin at the time of treatment. Be sure to always wear
a sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 to protect your skin.
What should I expect after the treatment?
Once a pigment lesion has been treated, it will become
darker over the next few days. Pigmented lesions undergo a
mild desquamation and slough off within two or three days.
Avoid sun exposure while the lesions are healing.
As a result of the red and brown lesions being evened out,
light will reflect better off the skin and will not look as
dull and tired. The result is clearer, radiant, glowing
skin.
It is important to continue to use an effective sun block
between treatments and after completion of the series of
treatments so that the result achieved can have lasting
effects.
How often do I need IPL?
A series of 3-5 treatments are advised for optimal
results, though you may see much improvement after just one
treatment. Treatments are typically performed 3-4 weeks
apart.
