| Anti-aging/Rosacea Skin Treatment: |
| IPL's multi-wavelength pulse light therapy penetrates the outer layers of skin (epidermis) and delivers light energy to the deeper (dermal) layers of skin. It is within the dermis that collagen, the main supporting structure of our skin, resides and is produced. The light energy has the effect of tightening the collagen protein bundles and stimulating fibroblasts to produce more collagen, which have the effect of reducing the appearance of facial line, wrinkles and pore size. Since the light energy penetrates the outer layers of skin, there is none of the peeling and redness associated with traditional laser resurfacing. When treating hyperpigmentation, spider veins or rosacea, the light energy targets the unwanted pigment (melanin or blood vessels) while leaving the skin intact. |
| Hair Removal: |
| IPL hair removal therapy is FDA approved for permanent hair reduction. Most facial hair goes through an active growing phase every 3-6 weeks; most non-facial hair every 8-10 weeks. This is the only phase in which hair responds to treatment. Most patients will see a remarkable reduction in both the density and rate of growth within 2-3 weeks after the first treatment. With subsequent treatments, permanent hair reduction is generally achieved. |
