Choosing To Get IPL: Who’s A Good Candidate?

If you want to improve the appearance of your aging skin or uneven pigment, you should consider IPL Photorejuvenation in Toronto. IPL Photorejuvenation can be used on your face, back, arms, hands, neck, and chest to improve signs of aging.

IPL Photo Facial treatment improves many skin changes and conditions, including:

• freckles and brown spots caused by the sun,
• uneven pigmentation,
• birthmarks,
• skin changes caused by rosacea,
• fine lines and wrinkles, and
• uneven skin tone and texture.

Your IPL Treatment

Unlike laser skin resurfacing in Toronto, IPL photorejuvenation uses a technology called Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). Conventional lasers emit a fixed wavelength of light. IPL is different from fixed wavelength laser treatments. IPL devices produce a broad spectrum of light in a range of wavelengths. Dr. Kara will customize your IPL treatment to suit your type of skin and its needs by selecting the appropriate wavelengths for your treatment.

During an IPL treatment, a wand that emits Intense Pulsed Light is passed over your skin. Most patients report minimal discomfort from IPL treatments. A topical anesthetic can be applied to reduce discomfort.

IPL Treatment Results And Aftercare

IPL Photorejuvenation treatments are performed in a series. After an average of five treatments (with three weeks between treatments) IPL Photorejuvenation stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. IPL technology improves both the superficial and deeper skin layers and rejuvenates the skin while at the same time delivering beneficial thermal energy to deep issue.

After a series of treatments, you can see a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of smoother, revitalized skin.

There is no downtime associated with IPL Photorejuvenation. You are free to return to your normal tasks immediately following treatment. You should protect your skin from the sun, because IPL treatments make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Protecting your skin from the sun will also help prevent future sun damage to your skin.
