The Cosmetic Skin Institute offers Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial treatments to improve the appearance of redness & flushing, acne rosacea, irregular pigmentation, and fine facial lines.
As we age fine facial blood vessels and irregular areas of hyperpigmentation often appear on facial and non-facial skin exposed to sunlight.
IPL treatments are non-invasive and can help your skin on your face, neck, chest, arms and legs look rejuvenated and it will bring back that healthy glow. Your skin will look younger and refreshed after a couple of treatments.
Patients may feel slight stinging, commonly likened to the snapping of a small rubber band on the skin.
We offer a topical numbing cream to alleviate the minimal pain of the treatment. The numbing cream is normally applied 30 to 60 minutes before the treatment.
Patients may experience redness up to a few days and darkening of the brown spots for about a week after the treatment. It is important to remember to allow any spots or dry skin to fall off on its own and not pick at any area.
It is also important to avoid direct sun and wear sunblock during the day. If desired, you may apply make-up immediately after the treatment.
Typically, one-to-five IPL treatments are recommended every three to four weeks. Once a patient is evaluated by one of our medical professionals, they will have a better idea of how many treatments are necessary.
Call our office today to schedule a consultation and find out if IPL is a good treatment for you.
