Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photo Rejuvenation - FotoFacial™

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photo rejuvenation is safe and non-invasive. Photo rejuvenation erases skin damage without disrupting the skin surface and simultaneously treats a wide range of facial problems to improve the texture and complexion of your skin. This is a low risk, no downtime treatment.

What does IPL do?

Produces smoother, even-toned, more youthful skin
Simultaneously treats vascular changes - red blood vessels, telangectasia, redness from rosacea & flushing, skin discoloration & mottled pigmentation
Treats sun damage and photo aging
Removes brown spots such as freckles and lentigos
Reduces redness after CO2 laser resurfacing

IPL minimizes red and brown spots while it evens out skin color and texture. It also decreases red flushed appearing skin

What areas can be treated?
You can treat the entire face, neck, arms, hands, chest, back etc. This is a new break through in anti-aging treatments.

How many treatments are necessary?
Typically 4-6 treatments are done over a 4 month period. Treatments are spaced approximately 3 weeks apart.

How long will improvements last?
So far improvement seems to last for several years. Maintenance treatments are wonderful to maintain the clearer, less sun-damaged and smoother skin.

How is the treatment preformed?
A cold gel is applied to the area being treated and the smooth surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to your skin. The pulses of light produce a slight sting and the treatment takes 15-20 minutes. A topical anesthetic cream may be used. There are generally 4-6 treatments in a series that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high patient satisfaction.

When can I return to my normal activities?
You can immediately resume all regular activities. By dividing the treatment into several sessions you get gradual improvements with low risk. This is a wonderful "no downtime" procedure.
