Laser/Intense Pulsed Light Services

Every year, millions of patients visit the dermatologist office complaining of skin problems including fine lines and wrinkles, persistent red complexion, sun spots, acne scars, large pores and other blemishes. Various treatments, including chemical peels and laser resurfacing have been used to improve these conditions. Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a non-ablative technique that has become the standard of care for many of the above conditions and is also called photorejuvenation.

How does an IPL photofacial work?

The IPL hand piece delivers high intensity pulses of broadband light that is different from the narrow band light of lasers. IPL is non-ablative, meaning that is does not damage the surface of the skin and there is no downtime. The energy is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin (dermis) and leaves the superficial aspect of the skin (epidermis) untouched.

How many treatments do I need?

IPL therapy requires approximately 4-6 treatments, but there is no downtime or recovery period. Neither anesthesia nor pain medication is necessary. Special glasses or laser patches are worn for safety. Facial treatment sessions are approximately 20 minutes long, and décolletage and hand therapy is approximately the same.
