IPL-Photo Facial Skin Rejuvenation
IPL photo facial involves the use of a very high-powered short-pulsed, multi wavelength light source, which can lighten pigmented areas, alleviate facial redness, and shrink dilated blood vessels that occur secondary to the aging process, sunlight, rosacea, and other environmental effects.
IPL treatments are performed by our trained laser nurses and involve a series of treatments scheduled every 3-4 weeks. The procedure itself lasts from 20 minutes up to 1 hour depending on the extent of the areas treated at each session.
After the procedure the area appears pink in a uniform or blotchy manner and patients may experience a mild to moderate “sunburn” feeling lasting from 2-24 hours. Cool compresses may be applied. Makeup may be worn after the procedure in order to lessen the pinkness. Brown spots will darken and become flaky before exfoliation. This can be covered using light makeup. Redness and broken capillaries may darken initially then fade over 1-2 weeks. Although patients may notice a significant improvement after one treatment, most note a gradual improvement over the weeks during which treatment sessions are scheduled.
Capitol Vein and Laser Center uses the Palomar Pulsed Light System because it offers the most versatile, effective, and comfortable aesthetic treatment available. This system safely treats the face, neck, chest and hands.
