Second Treatment: IPL (Photo Facial) Photofacial Intensed Pulsed Light (I.P.L.)
A Photofacial is a series of Intensed Pulsed Light (I.P.L.) treatments that improves the appearance of Rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, sun damaged skin, age spots, skin texture, and photo aging. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, reduces large pores, and reduces fine lines. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest and hands. This exciting treatment involves little or no “down time.” You can resume normal activities immediately.
How does the treatment work?
An Intensed Pulsed Light or I.P.L. is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. The heat causes damage to the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. The lesion will darken before it flakes off or the body absorbs it. Treatment can be given as frequently as every 3 weeks.
How many treatments will I need
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Follow-up treatments may be desired once a year to maintain results.
What are the benefits of a Photofacial?
Treatment improves sunspots, age spots, dull complexions, uneven pigmentation, large pores; sun damaged skin and early signs of aging. Treatment also improves red flushing skin, Rosacea and broken capillaries. Enjoy smoother skin with a more even tone with minimal discomfort during treatment.
What is a treatment like?
Treatment may vary from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated. First, the treated area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. When the pulse of light is delivered, the sensation is similar to a snap of a rubber band. After treatment, the gel is removed, the skin is cleansed, and a sunscreen is applied. Pain is minimal; however, topical anesthesia can be used for maximum comfort. For sensitive skin, a cool compress is applied following treatment.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. Immediately following treatment the skin may appear flushed, brown-pigmented spots may appear darker, and capillaries may be more visible. In rare instances temporary swelling and/or blistering can occur.
What improvement will I see?
Patients have a high degree of satisfaction with their results. Expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, broken capillaries, flushing, irregular pigmentation, pore size and fine lines. After each treatment the skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
Third Treatment: LED (light emitting diode) Photomodulation
