IPL Photofacial
Skin Revitalization with Icon Aesthetic System
Transforming your skin is easy with the IPL Photofacial, also called photorejuvenation. This non-invasive treatment is ideal for skin care concerns ranging from redness and rosacea to broken capillaries to age spots, sun spots, discoloration, and hyperpigmentation.
The pleasures and stresses of life take their toll and cause our skin to look older, with sun exposure being the major culprit of skin damage. The actual conditions that develop are often a complex of changes in the small blood vessels (called “telangiectasias”) and the appearance of spots and blemishes of pigment. A remarkable technology called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) can treat these developments with a very special flash of light.
How It Works
IPL is a broadband light (not a laser) used to deliver a series of gentle pulses of light to the skin causing collagen and blood vessels below the epidermis to constrict, reducing redness and brown spots. Specific settings are selected for each treatment for optimal results. A series of three to five treatments are performed at three to four-week intervals. The benefits of IPL Photofacial Treatments are consistent, visible improvement in the skin with minimal downtime, little discomfort, and minimal risk. With Photofacial treatments, the embarrassing redness and flushing of rosacea can be greatly reduced and sun damaged, discolored skin can be dramatically improved.
