Looking for The Smooth, Even-Toned Complexion You Have Always Wanted But Don’t Want to Undergo Surgery?
Why Do Skin Issues Become More Evident with Aging?
During the normal aging process skin tissue begins to break down and conditions caused by both environmental factors including temperature extremes, sun exposure, and harmful free radicals; and also familial conditions including rosacea, freckles, and birthmarks seem to become more prominent and, in many cases, undesirable. The more time skin is exposed to these factors and as healthy collagen production decreases, the more prominent the conditions appear.
What is IPL and How Does it Work?
Recently introduced, the breakthrough treatment IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial treatments have been the solution for numerous individuals looking for minimally invasive options that offer results with little or no pain and practically no downtime.
The in-office procedure is performed by a Board Certified Dermatologist and uses high-intensity pulses of light therapy that are transmitted, in varying wavelengths to penetrate the skin to remove the injured tissues. The results are smoother, even-toned skin and uncovers a more youthful complexion.
What Type of Skin Conditions Can Benefit from IPL?
There are varying degrees of each and every skin abnormality but, for the most part, candidates that are looking to help lessen Age/Brown/Sun Spots, Broken Capillaries, Rosacea, Freckles, Birthmarks, Skin Texture, Prominent Blood Vessels and Hyperpigmentation should consider the IPL Photofacial technique. Temporary results can sometimes be seen by using over-the-counter creams, lotions and concealers but the results are short-lived solutions because they are delivered to just the top layer of the skin rather than deep down into the damaged tissues.
Will it Take Years To See Results?
Every case varies but on average a series of between 3 and 6, 30 to 45 minute sessions are recommended for the initial series. This process can take, on average 6 months to complete and it is advised that touch up treatments be performed every six months to ensure long-lasting, maximum benefits. Many people that have undergone IPL Photofacial treatments have seen results almost immediately and vast improvements during the course of the initial treatment.
Are There Any Other Options?
There are other options available to people looking to improve the quality of their complexion. However, treatments that deliver results without having to go under general anesthesia or dealing with weeks of downtime are becoming a preference with numerous individuals. With IPL the results are extremely noticeable and can literally be done during a patient’s lunch hour.
