Aesthetic laser options can become overwhelming and there is always
mixed information given thoughout the internet. This is why I decided
to give answers to some frequently asked questions about one of my
favorite aesthetic laser treatments-Intense Pulsed Light Photofacials.
Frequently Asked Questions About Intense Pulsed Light Photo-facials
#1 Who is a good Candidate for Intense Pulsed Light photo-facials?
The
best candidate for photo-facials is men or women who have excess
pigmentation or severe sun damage such as sun-spots, brown spots, age
spots, hyper-pigmentation, or slight melasma. It is also great for
treating anyone with Rosacea, redness, or broken capillaries. The best
skin types for IPL photo-facials is lighter skin types, it is not an
appropriate treatment for brown or black skin types.
#2 How does an Intense Pulsed Light Photo-facial work?
IPL
is a light-based treatment that targets different chromophores in the
skin. Chromophores such as sun spots or broken capillaries selectively
absorb the laser or light energy as heat and yield the desired response.
These optimal wavelengths of light clear pigmented lesions by targeting
melanin. The damaged pigmented lesions are then cleared by the body.
They then get slightly darker & slough off, removing the appearance
of the lesion from the skin. The skin looks smooth, tone looks more
even, and texture is improved.

As
long as it is an up to date IPL technology with a build in chilling
mechanism there is minimal downtime. Normally only slight redness for
1-6 hours and makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment.
#4 How many treatments are required with IPL photo-facials?
The
number of treatments depends on the severity of sun damage and
redness. However, on average most women and men require 2-4 treatments
for maximum results.
