IPL Photo rejuvenation
 
What is IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Photorejuvenation therapy?
IPL rejuvenation was designed to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in
a gentle manner.  The IPL system uses precise amounts of light energy focused
beneath the skin to stimulate the production of collagen.  As new collagen forms, it
softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  The redness and flushing of
rosacea can be reduced 80 to 90 percent.  It evens out irregular pigmentation
and helps to diminish enlarged pores.
 
What results can I expect?
A series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced at two to four week intervals are usually

recommended.  These treatments are described as much like a

 rubber band snapping on the skin.  Patients with hyperpigmentation, sun
damage and freckling will notice that these areas will initially appear
darker.  The areas will also become coarser but will soon gently slough
off. The effects are progressive and cumulative although you will see
some results after only one treatment.  Skin will have a more even and
smoother look and feel.  These improvements will increase with each
treatment.  Post treatment discomfort is almost nonexistent.  The skin
may appear flushed and capillaries (tiny blood vessels)
may seem to be more visible.  The flushed look soon
fades and the capillaries will appear to vanish shortly after treatment.
