Benefits of IPL Photofacials

As issues of hyperpigmentation (excess pigmentation such as sun spots and age spots) are on the rise in the U.S. and in our medical spa (Winter Park Laser) the need for Intense Pulsed Light and the benefits of IPL photofacials increase. Hyperpigmentation (excess pigment) can be caused by shifts in hormones such as birth control or hormone replacement therapy and of course by sun damage. While it is most common in olive skin types such as Latin, Mediterranean, and Italian but can occur in any skin type. While, there are many treatments such as chemical peels and ablative lasers that can slowly help with pigmentation issues but IPL treatments are the best treatment available because they concentrate directly on pigment and broken capillaries. So who is the best candidate for an IPL photofacial? Anyone with unwanted sun damage-excess sun spots, age spots, or slight Melasma. Also, anyone with Rosacea symptoms such as broken capillaries and excess redness. IPL photofacials can also have a big benefits for those with inflamed acne. IPL photofacials work by diminishing the signs of aging such as pigmented lesions & capillaries by delivering energy to target & destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated withveins, 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. A 30-40% improvement can be seen within 1 treatments although several treatments can be necessary to reach maximum results. The benefits of an IPL photofacial are an improved complexion, even skin tone, removal of excess sun spots and pigmentation, reduction in blood vessels, and reduction in Rosacea symptoms and redness.For more information on benefits of an IPL photofacial go to http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/ipl-photo-facials/
