Intense Pulse Light Therapy
Intense pulse light therapy is another exciting recent arrival on the anti aging scene. Like the new generation of “lunchtime lasers,” intense pulsed light is safe and noninvasive. IPL treatments can erase sun damage and improve the texture of your face and your complexion without disrupting the skin surface. Like other laser treatments, intense pulse light treatments do not entail prolonged recovery time, pain, or potential significant side effects. IPL treatments are sometimes referred to by other names, such as FotoFacial, EpiFacial, FacialLight, and so on.

The hallmark of intense pulse light treatment is its versatility. While laser light emits only one color, or wave link, at a time, intense pulsed light devices emit many different colors of light. As a result, where most conventional treatment options can address only one problem at a time, IPL can treat several aging issues in the same session. It is the only treatment that can simultaneously address pigmented brown spots, sun damage, enlarged pores, broken capillaries, and other types of skin redness. In addition, IPL treatments stimulate collagen renewal.
Each color of light emitted by intense pulse light therapy machines treats a different problem. Some of the colors remove age spots, others remove flushing and redness of the skin, still others penetrate a bit deeper into the skin and promote new collagen. IPL Technology provides an excellent weapon against the cumulative damage wrought by sun exposure and photoaging. It rejuvenates the skin from the inside out by delivering beneficial thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin.
Customizing intense pulse light treatments to the needs of each individual patient is no simple task, and the physician’s skill plays a great role in the success of these treatments. Less experienced professionals sometimes used simpler pulsed light machines that offer fewer choices. The tradeoff for greater ease of operation can be less effective treatments and more side effects. In the hands of an experienced practitioner, however, intense pulse light therapy offers a broader range of possibilities than lasers and produces better and more effective results.
During intense pulse light therapy, a cold gel is typically applied to the area to be treated. You may be given dark glasses to protect your Allies. The IPL hand piece has a smooth glass surface, which is held to your skin while pulses of light are applied. The most you will feel is a slight sting. Few people are bothered by this, but if you find it to be uncomfortable, you can ask the attending Physician to apply an anesthetic cream. The treatment is pleasantly relaxing and takes about 20 minutes. The typical treatment program consists of a series of 3 to 6 individual treatments–in this way, gradual improvement can be produced with very low risk.
