Treatment Advantages:

While laser resurfacing is among the most popular and effective skin
rejuvenation procedure, it is often not the most practical for most of
us. Laser Resurfacing carries significant disadvantages, including being
limited to facial use only, lengthy recoveries, and weeks or months of
redness following procedures.

However, IPL treatments are also effective for sensitive, non-facial
skin, such as the neck, chest or hands/arms, where laser resurfacing
(and strong chemical peels) pose much greater risks of scarring. Since
lasers produce only a single wave length of light, the body areas that
they can effectively treat are limited.

IPL treatments are performed with many wavelengths at the same time,
allowing the light to gently penetrate all levels of the skin where
abnormal, easily dilated vessels are found. As a result, IPL serves as a
less traumatic, gentle alternative to laser resurfacing, at about half
the cost and no major down time. You can now with multiple passes using
a long-wave length, will be able to see a difference with Class I and
Class II wrinkles.

How Many Treatments Will Be Needed?

For optimal results, a series of five to seven full-face pulsed light
treatments are given at three week intervals. Recommendations are based
on the individuals desire for a certain level of skin rejuvenation and
the condition of the skin at the time of the consultation.

Depending on the size of the area treated, light treatments last 30 to
60 minutes. More than five treatments may be recommended for severely
sun-damaged skin or for severe facial flushing.

IPL can also be performed in conjunction with Botox, collagen, and
microdermabrasion. It is also appropriate to simply refresh and tone
normal skin types.

Microdermabrasion is recommended between IPL treatments for all skin
types. These peels remove layers of dead skin cells, so the light is
much more effective at reaching target areas. Also, dead cell layers
hold excess pigment, and destroyed cells or debris that pushes to the
surface. Thus, your complexion will look clearer and cleaner as IPL
treatments progress, with better results.

Removing The Red:

As many as 70 million Americans have an undesirable amount of facial
redness, flushing, and sun damage. Roughly 13 to14 million of those
people struggle with Rosacea, a very common, complicated, and
embarrassing skin problem that causes redness and flushing, often
accompanied by pain, on the nose cheeks, forehead, chin, and neck.

Rosacea causes dilated capillaries and acne-like breakouts,
particularly among fair skinned men and women over 30. Common triggers
of Rosacea include excessive sun exposure (normal childhood sun may be
enough), stress, heat, humidity, wind. stress, alcohol consumption,
medications, heredity, and skin aging.

Until now, the only treatment available has been lifestyle changes, with
oral or topical medications. But there has not been a truly effective
treatment to significantly reduce or eliminate the redness and
flushing. So, IPL benefits are particularly rewarding for individuals
with Rosacea.

Clinical data has demonstrated that individuals receive a remarkable
improvement in decreased facial flushing, redness and dilated
capillaries. after a series of five to seven IPL treatments.
