Intense pulsed light (IPL) photorejuvenation is a cosmetic dermatology treatment designed to improve skin’s tone and texture. The combination of sun exposure and aging leaves skin looking rough and spotted. IPL facial treatments offer a safe, non-invasive option that dramatically improves the skin’s appearance.
Let’s learn more about IPL facial treatments before scheduling an appointment with the best skin clinic in West Hollywood:
Little Discomfort
The procedure involves very little discomfort, as well as virtually no downtime. Compare that to undergoing a facelift, a serious surgery requiring at least a month of recovery!
Treats Wide Range of Skin Conditions
IPL photorejuvenation improves many different skin problems. The treatment is effective for large pores, acne, sun spots and other sun damage, wrinkles, scars, and visible blood vessels. It is an excellent treatment for rosacea and other types of skin redness; IPL facials treat deeper layers of flesh to stimulate collagen production. This helps improve skin texture.
It is also used for the treatment of spider veins and for the removal of unwanted hair.
In Conjunction
IPL facial treatments may be utilized in conjunction with other skin treatments, including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and other treatments that focus on skin’s outermost layer. This is because IPL facials treat deeper skin layers.
Affordable
The treatment is widely regarded as one of the most affordable anti-aging treatments available, especially in comparison to cosmetic surgery.
Three to Six
For best results and dramatically-improved skin, three to six IPL facial treatments is recommended.
Conclusion
Side effects are very rare and include minor swelling and redness. However, these effects are short-term and generally go away a few hours after treatment. In extremely rare cases, blistering, scarring, and bleeding have been reported, as well as hypopigmentation/hyperpigmentation, or skin that looks lighter or darker.
