Photo rejuvenation FAQ
IPL - How it works?
A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a transparent handpiece which is gently placed over the skin. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating pigmented lesions damaging them. The body's natural processes then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance.
What can IPL Photo rejuvenation treat?
IPL Photorejuvenation has the unique capacity to treat multiple symptoms of aging skin on your entire face in each treatment session. Among these are fine lines, red blemishes, mottled coloration, broken blood vessels, pigment discoloration such as freckles and age spots, enlarged pores, coarse or rough skin, loss of skin tone and elasticity, and general sun damage. The result is a youthful, smooth and revitalized facial appearance. IPL can also treat spots, discolored areas and other tell-tale signs of aging on your hands, chest and neck.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT?
After only one treatment, your skin will have a more even tone with a smoother look and feel. Sunspots will fade. Pore sizes will shrink. Fine lines and wrinkles will gradually decrease in size. These improvements will steadily increase with each treatment. Patients with rosacea will see a progressive decrease in redness with every treatment.
Why is IPL Photo rejuvenation better than other treatments?
In addition to treating multiple symptoms and locations in each session, IPL is gentle, non-invasive and safe. Because of this, there is no "down time." You see results in the complexion and the skin texture of the entire face. You can return to your normal routines and activities immediately. In fact, many people even schedule their sessions during their lunch break. Additionally, IPL treatments are customized to your specific skin type and color, providing the best possible results.

 How is IPL Photo rejuvenation performed?
Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to shield your eyes from the bright light.
During treatment, the smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin, delivering pulses of light to the area being treated. IPL treatments are usually considered pain-free, but an anesthetic cream can be used if you find the light pulses at all uncomfortable. Treatment sessions usually last about 20 minutes, and a complete program usually includes four to six sessions.
HOW Long RESULT WILL LAST?
Results are long-lasting, usually a year or longer.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Depending on the area treated, there will be a series of five to eight treatments. Treatments usually take from 15 to 30 minutes.

Most patients describe the sensation to be like the snap of a rubber band on the skin as the pulses of energy are delivered through the handpiece. Some patients opt to have a topical anesthesia.
WHAT WILL RECOVERY BE LIKE?
After treatment, you can return to your normal routines and activities immediately. After treatment with IPL, the treated skin may appear a little flushed and capillaries may seem to be more visible. The flushed look soon fades away, and the capillaries appear to vanish, leaving the skin looking younger. Following any treatment, you should avoid any harsh skin cleansers and use sunscreen. The treated skin is more sunsensitive for two to three weeks and is not usually done when people have a tan.
How much does IPL Photo rejuvenation cost?
Costs vary depending on several factors, such as what are is treated, the severity of your condition, etc. Compared to other aesthetic procedures, IPL Photorejuvenation is quite affordable and competitive. It is usually priced above Microdermabrasion or certain chemical peels, but costs less than laser resurfacing and cosmetic surgeries. IPL procedures are not covered by health insurance.
