Our Customized Approach During your consultation with one of our Skin Care Specialists your skin concerns will be discussed and you will be provided with a customized treatment plan to achieve your goals. Typically, most patients require two or more IPL sessions for optimal results. The IPL laser will emit a high intensity blast of light that penetrates the surface of the skin to the deeper level of the dermis. This light is absorbed by specific pigments in the skin such as blood in vascular lesions or melanin in pigmented lesions. The heat generated in this process treats red and brown pigments in the skin and stimulates collagen and connective tissue for a younger, more rejuvenated appearance. Day of Treatment Prior to your IPL photofacial treatment your eyes will be shielded with a protective eye shield and a topical anesthetic will be utilized to numb and minimize discomfort in the area being treated. Ice and antibiotic cream will be applied to the treated area post treatment. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial Recovery There is little to zero downtime associated with Intense Pulsed Light treatment because the top layer of the skin is not damaged. Some patients may experience mild swelling or redness post treatment but the symptoms quickly subside. It is critical to protect the treated areas from the sun with the use of sunscreen.
