Using the advanced IPL system, your doctor or esthetician gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced out at three to four week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results. The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles and the redness associated with rosacea is dramatically reduced.

HOW DO IPL PHOTO FACIAL REJUVENATION TREATMENTS WORK?
IPL delivers precise dosages of energy to the skin. During your treatment, light energy is gently delivered through a special hand piece to the targeted area. Levels of energy specific to your treatment are used to maximize your improvement. Once delivered, the light energy is absorbed by the targeted damaged tissue. Depending on the area treated, there will be a series of five to eight treatments. Treatments usually take from 15 to 30 minutes.

DOES IPL PHOTO FACIAL REJUVENATION HURT?
Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are delivered through the hand piece. Some patients opt to have a topical anesthesia. After treatment, the pain is minimal to nonexistent.

ARE IPL PHOTO FACIAL REJUVENATION TREATMENTS SAFE?
Yes. Advanced light systems have been used safely for millions of treatments worldwide. These systems treat only the targeted tissues, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Some redness may occur, which usually last for only a few hours.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
After only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.

WHAT WILL RECOVERY BE LIKE?
After treatment with an IPL system, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and capillaries may seem to be more visible. The flushed look soon fades away, and the capillaries appear to vanish, leaving the skin looking younger. After treatment the skin might be more sensitive to the sun for a couple of weeks, so it is important to use a good sunscreen of SPA 30 of higher when outdoors.

If you are new to IPL treatments and think that this is too good to be true, it’s not. It really is that simple.
