Photopeel Philadelphia
The IPL PhotoPeel treatment produces optimal results by first applying a mild glycolic peel prior to the IPL treatment. This superficial chemical peel removes the top layer of skin to trigger collagen production, reduce pore size and improve overall skin texture. This chemical exfoliation process allows the IPL light to penetrate deeper into the skin for superior results.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial
Over time you may notice that the tone and color of your skin becomes marred by age spots, rosacea, freckles and other pigmentation concerns. Intense pulsed light (IPL), also known as a photofacial, is the gold standard to drastically improve the clarity, tone and texture of the skin.
IPL technology utilizes multiple wavelengths of light to penetrate through the skin to rejuvenate the skin starting at the deepest level. Our Skin Care Specialists safely and effectively target a wide range of skin concerns with advanced IPL technology on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms as well as other areas.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) PhotoPeel Can:
- Diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Eliminate age spots, freckles and brown spots
- Reduce redness and broken capillaries
- Treat melasma and rosacea
- Trigger the production of new collagen and connective tissue
- Even skin tone and rejuvenate the skin for a more youthful appearance
Our Customized Approach
During your consultation with one of our medical aesthetic 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 as well as stimulating collagen and connective tissue for a younger, more rejuvenated appearance.
Day of Treatment
Your treatment will start with an application of glycolic acid to remove the epidermis of dead skin cells. Next, your skin will prepped for the IPL photofacial. Prior to your IPL photofacial treatment your eyes will be protected by an eye shield and a cooling gel is applied. Following your treatment a sunscreen is applied and post treatment instructions are discussed with your provider.
PhotoPeel Recovery
There is little to zero downtime associated with the PhotoPeel because the top layer of the skin is not damaged. Some patients may experience mild swelling, redness or temporary darkening of brown spots post treatment but the symptoms quickly subside. It is critical to protect the treated areas from the sun with the use of sunscreen.
