An Answer to Rosacea with IPL Photo-Rejuvenation

After operating a medical spa for 9 years-Winter Park laser in Orlando we are still amazed at how many clients suffer with Rosacea every day and don't ever receive relief until they come to our office. Rosacea is a chronic condition causing facial redness and sometimes pimples. Rosacea affects adults and can range from mild to severe. Left untreated it worsens over time and is aggravated by extreme weather, alcohol, stress, and spicy foods. Treatment in the form of topical steroids can aggravate the condition which is what many Dermatologists used to prescribe. After suffering with Rosacea for years those clients have now found a solution-IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-rejuvenation or photo-facials. The IPL helps Rosacea by reducing or eliminating redness and constricting broken capillaries. Palomar® Intense pulsed light treatments use the MaxG hand-piece to deliver energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with veins, Rosacea, sun damage, and age spots from face, chest, hands, legs, and arms. During the procedure, the entire treatment area is scanned with an IPL handpiece and treated with multiple passes and customized settings. It only takes 20 minutes to treat a full face and requires minimal downtime of slight redness for a few hours. The results can be seen after 1 treatment but normally require a series of 3-5 treatments to achieve desired results. IPL photo-facials can give long lasting relief to Rosacea sufferers with a maintenance treatment of once a year and good skincare habits. For more information go to www.winterparklaser.com
