Skin comes in many textures and colors. The tones and textures often change during a person’s lifetime due to medical or environmental reasons. Wrinkles, dark spots and spider veins are just a few unattractive skin conditions that may pop up along the way. Many of those skin conditions can now be improved using the non-invasive Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photofacial treatment.
How IPL Photofacial Treatment Works
The IPL treatment uses a pulsed light that targets the deep layers of the skin and provides long-lasting effects. The process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, which means it can fit into any busy schedule. There is no downtime after the procedure — people receiving IPL treatment can return to normal activities immediately.
Another important point: other facial treatments like chemical peels and microdermabrasion (topical therapies) can be done in conjunction with the IPL photofacial procedure for a complete skin makeover.
Skin Conditions IPL Photofacial Treats
Here are some of the skin conditions where the IPL photofacial treatment gets excellent results:
- Small Facial Veins – reduces redness and creates a more even tone
- Hyperpigmentation – the dark spots that appear on the skin due to sunspots and pigmentation irregularities
- Acne – reduces redness and inflammation without drying the skin with topical products
- Enlarged Pores – diminishes the size of large pores that collect dirt and oil causing irritation
- Red Spots – helps to eliminate cherry angiomas and other redness
- Rosacea – minimizes the red flushes over the skin and enhances the natural complexion with an even tone
- Freckles – helps to fade freckles for a more even skin tone
- Fine Wrinkles – treats the deeper layers of the skin, improving texture; also enhances the growth of collagen, which reduces the look of wrinkles and fine lines on the face
- Age Spots
- Port Wine Stains – lightens this discoloration of the skin caused by a capillary malformation
- Erythema – reduces redness in this condition caused by a congestion of the capillaries as a result of a skin injury
