How IPL Photofacials remove Sun Damage

One of my all time favorite Cosmetic treatments is IPL which stands for Intense pulsed light treatments.  I have been in the cosmetic medical spa industry for 10 years as the Director of an Orlando Medical Spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center.  I have seen a lot of great treatments develop over the years but IPL is still my favorite.  IPL treatments are also known as photo-facials and photo-rejuvenation and target brown pigmentation and redness on the face and body.  I love IPL because of the no downtime of the procedure and the instant gratification benefits that a patient gets.
How do IPL Photofacials remove sun damage?  There are several brands and types of IPL lasers on the market.  We use the Palomar Max G Handpiece and get phenomenal results with it. All lasers are absorbed by a target.  IPL is absorbed by dark pigmentation such as sun spots and redness such as broken capillaries and redness.  IPL is pulsed of light that once absorbed by brown pigmentation they destroy the pigmented lesions and constrict broken capillaries.  It is a non-ablative and non-invasive treatment meaning that is does not damage the surface of the skin.   The intense light is delivered to the deeper parts of the skin know as the dermis and leaves the superficial part of the skin know as the epidermis untouched and intact.
Intense Pulsed Light treatments destroy the darkest pigmented sun spots first and work best on men and women with dark sun spots and light skin types.It is also great for broken capillaries and excessive redness caused by Rosacea or excessive sun damage.  IPL is an extremely safe treatment that has no downtime other than slight redness for 1-3 hours after treatment.  The brown sun spots get darker after treatment and gradually flake off. IPL photofacial treatments can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and any body area.

How Latisse Makes You look Younger

After running a medical spa in Orlando-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center for 10 years I have seen my share of cosmetic products hit the market over the years.  However, my favorite product by far has been LATISSE®.  LATISSE® is a Prescription grade cosmetic product created by Allergan.  LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% was created for women and men dealing with hypertrichosis (a lack of lashes).  I want to address how Latisse makes you look younger.
How Latisse Makes you look younger:
When you use Latisse for at least 16 weeks it is clinically proven to make your lashes up to 25% longer, 106% fuller, and 18% darker.  While all of these are benefits it also makes you look younger.  Latisse makes you look younger because lashes are naturally thinner and shorter when you are older, and they are full and long when you are young.  So when you reverse this process, the look of longer, fuller lashes gives a more youthful appearance.
Latisse makes you look younger because when there is focus on long, luxurious lashes it takes focus away from wrinkles around the eye.  It also makes the eyes look brighter.

Laser Hair Removal Benefits

Laser hair removal is a treatment that has not been available for nearly 2 decades but still seems like a "new concept" to a lot of women and men.  After giving consultations on laser hair removal at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center I have found that there are many additional benefits to laser hair removal that many people still don't know about.  Here are laser hair removal benefits that I think everyone should be aware of and not just the obvious of shaving less.
Top laser hair removal benefits you didn't think about:
#1 Laser Hair Removal will eliminate ingrown hairs (folliculitis) on any area of the body. 
Folliculitis occurs when hair follicles get trapped and become infected.  Laser hair removal thins out the  hair by destroying fully developed hair follicles by 15-25% each treatment.  This means that the ingrown hairs should stop occurring within 1-3 treatments of laser hair removal.  This is extremely beneficial for darker skin types with thick coarse or curly hair that are more prone to ingrown hairs and folliculitis.
#2 Laser hair removal can lessen hyper-pigmentation (excess pigmented spots) scarring caused by ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal looks for pigment in the hair follicle to destroy the follicles.  However, if there is excess pigmentation (hyper-pigmentation) on the area treated that was caused from ingrowns it will absorb the laser light and be destroyed.  So this is a huge benefit people don't realize.
#3 The time you will save.
Laser hair removal will give you back time to do more important things.  A recent survey said the average time a woman spends shaving her legs over a lifetime is 72 days!  Not to mention the time women spend driving to the waxing center and having a way every month for 50 years.  Laser hair removal is about a 6-9 month commitment out of a lifetime.
