Glowing skin after IPL Phototherapy

IPL PHOTOFACIAL

Our Intense Pulse Light (IPL Photofacial) utilizes a broad band of light, comprised of different wavelengths to target and treat multiple skin conditions at once. This treatment is highly effective for treating pigment problems as well as texture problems in your skin. Pigment problems such as brown spots from acne and sun-damage in addition to blotchy red spots from broken capillaries or rosacea can be effectively treated. Texture problems such as wrinkles and enlarged pores are targeted and treated. The overall result is smoother skin with improved skin tone and complexion.

Radiofrequency Skin tightening:

Radiofrequency energy will heat deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen, as a result the skin is tightened with improvement in wrinkles and enlarged pores. The goal is to achieve smoother, even textured skin for a “photo-finish” appearance,

At AnewSkin Medspa we combine both technologies for our RF-IPL phototherapy. This treatment is great for aging skin with multiple skin concerns. Pigmentation disorders, and texture problems in the skin can be treated in one session. Using various wavelength filters and radiofrequency energy, we are able to successfully and safely treat a wide range of skin types.

What happens at my appointment?

After a detailed skin analysis, we will cleanse your skin. A test shot is performed in an area of the skin close to the treatment area. As such, we can select the best energy level and filter for your particular skin concern.

You are required to wear protective eye shields for the duration of your IPL-photofacial treatment. Cooling gel will be applied to your skin. The RF-IPL device is passed over the entire treatment area. Cold air is applied over the skin at the same time to cool and protect the skin. Thus, allowing for a comfortable experience. You may experience a warm tingle, but most patients are quite comfortable and and experience zero discomfort. However if desired, numbing cream is available for you. The treatment will take about 20 minutes.

What Are The Side Effects?

Following your treatment, you can expect some mild redness and swelling for 2-5 days. There will also be darkening and peeling of pigmented lesions 7-10 days after treatment. It is extremely important that you avoid sun-exposure in the days and weeks following treatment to avoid complications.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Almost any area of skin can be treated. Most commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest, back, hands etc.

When Can I Expect Results?

Most people experience a noticeable improvement after about a week of IPL phototherapy treatment. However, for maximal improvement, a series of 4-6 treatments are recommended spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
