What is Intense Pulsed Light?
Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL™) technology is a treatment breakthrough
that can correct a variety of benign
skin conditions, such as facial skin
imperfections, the signs of photo-aging,
birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly
small veins, and other blemishes. It
offers a safe, no-invasive solution that can be tailored
to your individual condition and skin
type,
providing superior cosmetic results
and outstanding satisfaction, through
a new process called photorejuvenation.
How is Photorejuvenation Performed?
A cold gel is usually applied to the area
to be related, and you may be given dark
glasses to protect your eyes from the bright
light. The smooth glass surface of the
IPL handpiece is gently applied to your
skin and pulses of light are applied. You
may feel a slight sting, like the snapping
of a small rubber band. An anesthetic cream
may be used, but is seldom required. Treatment
is generally administered in a series of
4 to 6 sessions that provided excellent
long-term results, minimal adverse effects
and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes
about twenty minutes.
Why are Multiple
Treatments Necessary?
Depending on the
number of conditions you are treating,
and the severity of the individual
problem, a series of four to six treatment
sessions may be recommended. You can
return to work the same day and resume all your regular
activities. By dividing the full program
into several treatments, the procedure
provides gradual improvement with very
low risk - and, it preserves the wonderful "no down
time" feature that people appreciate so much.
How Do Other Treatments
Compare to Photorejuvenations?
While there
are lasers that treat telangiectasia and
broken capillaries, other lasers that treat
benign brown pigments and others yet that
are used for resurfacing facial skin, no
technology provides the long-term improvement
of complexion and texture of the IPL™ Skin Treatments
using Photorejuvenation program - all without
the slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.
What Conditions Can Photorejuvenation
Treat?
Imperfections from Sun Damage and
Photo-aging. Facial imperfections or abnormalities
can detract from your well being and appearance,
no matter how healthy and young you feel. IPL technology
helps create smoother-looking skin. After a series
of treatments, you can see a significant reduction
of unwanted pigmentation. The same treatment can
be used effectively on the neck, chest, arms and
hands.
Benign Vascular
Lesions:
Broken Veins and Capillaries
The face has an extensive
network of veins and tiny blood vessels called
capillaries. Over time, aging, trauma, sun
exposure, and certain lifestyle factors cause
a number o them to break appearing as red
streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy
can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries
by removing virtually all traces of these
unsightly blemishes.
Redness
Caused By Broken Capillaries
Many people suffer from broken capillaries and
diffuse erythema, that cause them social embarrassment.
For both women and men, IPL can successfully treat
dilated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding
healthy skin.
Results
Both the pleasure
and the stresses of life, along
with the simple passage of time,
tend to cause our skin to
appear older. And the signs
of
photoaging and sun damage
are typically most visible on
a person's face and body.
While numerous treatments from simple creams to
major surgeries
exist to improve various facial
flaws, skin specialists have always
sought dramatic improvement
with low risk and no "down time." Additionally,
many conventional treatment options
can only address one condition
at a time, while they
entail a prolonged recovery time,
considerable pain, and potential side
effects.
