IPL Photo Rejuvenation New York

Photo Facial Rejuvenation through IPL Laser technology

IPL or Intense Pulsed Light technology is breakthrough technology that promotes smoother, healthier, and younger looking skin in a fast and highly effective way. Return your skin to its youthful appearance through this innovative technology that leaves the signs of aging in the past.

Facial rejuvenation using IPL lasers is a completely non-invasive and safe treatment option in the fight against sun, gravity, atmospheric contaminants, and our own hormones- all the things that make us look older.

How does IPL technology work?

Intense Pulsed Light technology uses a laser that produces a highly concentrated, broad beam of light. This specialized laser, designed using different types of light including infrared, pulsates on a specific treatment area. This is done to help promote the production of new collagen- found within our skin to give us the smooth and young appearance. The body absorbs the damaged tissue and new rejuvenated skin remains.

This cutting edge technology is different because it is absorbed by specifically targeted tissue areas and will not affect the surround skin tissue. This is important because you will gain highly effective results on problem areas without causing damage to healthy skin.

What types of facial skin conditions can or cannot be treated through IPL therapy?

Intense Pulsed Light laser therapy can be used to treat a wide range of facial skin conditions including Rosacea, broken capillaries, brown spots, age spots, sun damage, mild skin texture conditions, freckles, spider veins, fine lines, and increased pore size.

IPL cannot be used in the treatment of sagging skin, deep wrinkles, Melasma, or severe acne scarring. If you are looking to treat these types of conditions you should discuss it with your doctor to see what they advise.

What should I expect during a treatment session?

A treatment session begins with the skin being cleansed and in some cases the application of a topical anesthesia (this is not usually needed but may be requested for patients who are more sensitive to discomfort).

During a laser treatment session your doctor will gently glide the specially designed hand piece over the skin, which directs the pulsating light to penetrate the skin tissue at targeted areas. You may experience a warming sensation or a light snapping so cool air is gently blown on to the surface of the skin throughout the process; this is done to help keep you comfortable.

What are the results and will I need more than one treatment?

You will notice the results from your laser facial rejuvenation immediately. Your skin will look and feel smoother and the damaged skin will begin to fade. Over the course of one week following your IPL treatment you may notice flaking off of the damaged skin tissue as new more vibrant skin emerges.

Although you will notice improvement immediately it is important to understand that most patients require 3 to 4 treatments for optimal results. The number of treatments needed will vary depending upon the condition being treated.

Is IPL Photo Rejuvenation right for me? What are the side effects?

IPL Facial Rejuvenation is for anyone who is looking for younger and healthier looking skin. This fast and easy treatment option can fit into a busy lifestyle because it requires no downtime and has a very low risk of side effects. Following treatment it is important that you treat your skin gently for this new skin is delicate.

Patients who should not receive IPL laser treatments are those that are pregnant, have active cold sores, or anyone with a skin infection. Tanning is not recommended before treatment in that it increases the risk of complication. Ask your doctor regarding any questions or concerns.
