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 to Erase Sun Damage with IPL Photo-Facials
Perhaps it's the fact that our Medical Spa is located in Orlando (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) or the fact that we treat Florida's baby boomers who slathered themselves in baby oil in the 70's but one of our biggest complaints from men and women is the excess pigmentation, age spots and sun spots on their face that they would like to be removed. I always smile because I know it's an easy fix-IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-facials and we use the best one on the market-Palomar's Max G handpiece.
One IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial can be performed on the face, chest, neck, hands, legs and arms and will set you back only $199-$275 in most places but will give your skin a world of change. Palomar® Intense pulsed light treatments use the MaxG hand-piece to deliver energy to target and 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. Once the pigment or redness absorbs the light & transfers it into heat-the pigmented lesions are destroyed and the capillaries constrict and fade.
A noticeable change occurs within 1 treatment, however a series of 3-5 is normally necessary for the best results. The formation of new collagen results in an increase in the elasticity and overall appearance of your skin. Pigmented lesions come to the surface and slough off. Red and blue vessels typically disappear. Sun damage is repaired. The skin simply looks younger, feels tighter and pores appear smaller.

3 Ways to Rejuvenate Winter Skin
The Winter weather can cause havoc to the skin, here are 3 ways to rejuvenate winter skin or skin effected by sun damage, Rosacea, aging, and environmental factors.
Skin Rejuvenation Method #1: Chemical peels
Chemical peels are topically applied acids that cause controlled shedding of dead skin cell layers and help to restore and rejuvenate the skin's surface. There are various types of peels that reach various depths of the epidermis. It is always best to start with lighter peels before advancing to medium and strong depth peels. Superficial peels are best suited for combating the damaging effects of winter villains. This type of peel is designed to help smooth rough dry skin, remove sun damage and even out skin tone and has little downtime. Chemical peels are a great introduction to skin rejuvenation and an affordable option that average $95-$150
Skin Rejuvenation Method #2: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo-facials
IPL photofacials are an amazing way to melt winter weather's effects as well as fine lines caused by holiday stress and worry. IPLs are also great for treating Rosacea, enlarged pores, broken capillaries, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation. They work by using a broad spectrum of light into the dermis. This process accelerates the skin's natural regeneration process, helping connective tissue below the surface to rebuild itself. The resulting collagen stimulation makes the skin's surface smoother & will destroy excess pigment as well as constrict broken capillaries. It typically takes 2-5 treatments and averages $199-$300 per treatment.
Skin Rejuvenation Method #3: Fractional Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments
This is the most aggressive method but also garners the most visible results. This works by utilizing laser beam technology to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The laser is designed to improve the skin's texture, alleviate dark pigmentation and reduce the appearance of acne scars without down-time. We like Palomar 1540 fractional laser resurfacing.

Why Combining Aesthetic Treatments is Powerful
Over the past 8 years in our medical spa, we have found that combining at least two cosmetic treatments (whether non-invasive treatments with products or other treatments or non-invasive with surgical) gives the optimal results clients are seeking. A recent study in the July 2011 Aesthetic Surgery Journal concluded that Botox Cosmetic patients treated with a combination of hydroquinone and tretinoin topical experienced a greater reduction in fine lines and wrinkles than those treated with Botox Cosmetic injections alone. We also find that clients receiving cosmetic injectables also benefit highly from laser resurfacing because it offers a longer lasting results to smoothing wrinkles.
Another issue that benefits from multiple treatment modalities is hyper-pigmentation (excess pigment caused by sun damage or Melasma). Utilizing chemical peels to break down pigment and dead skin cells with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photo-facial treatments offers a better solution while minimizing any negative side effects, and using hydroquinone bleaching agents with IPL treatments offers a longer lasting result for clients.
Acne also benefits from a combination of laser treatments, chemical peels, and at home products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients with bacteria fighting ingredients.
Your medical spa and skin-care experts will help to determine the best combination treatment plans for your skin care concerns.
