How does IPL work?<\/h2>\n

\u201cIPL\u201d stands for \u201cintense pulsed light.\u201d A simple hand-held device is passed over the skin and pulses of light are sent into the deep layers of skin. It can target very specific problem areas to destroy skin damage. IPL can be used to treat:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Spider veins<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rosacea (redness in the cheeks)<\/p>\n

\u2022 Uneven\/unwanted pigment<\/p>\n

\u2022 Age spots<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sun damage<\/p>\n

What is the procedure to get IPL?<\/h2>\n

You will be given eye shields to protect your eyes from the light, and a gel will be applied to the area where you will have the treatment. The handpiece is then moved across the skin to be treated \u2013 and that\u2019s it! It typically only takes a few minutes, although more than one treatment will usually be needed. IPL can be used on the chest, hands, and face.<\/p>\n

Most patients report there is no pain \u2013 at most there is a sensation on the skin much like a rubber-band snap. A cooling gel may be applied to the skin afterwards. After the treatment you\u2019ll notice an immediate difference, and your skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

There are no bandages to wear after the procedure and no downtime. You may notice some redness and feel like you have a sunburn for a few days. You should avoid going out in the sun. There are also specific instructions you should follow in the weeks leading up to your procedure, such as avoiding the sun and tanning beds for about a month before \u2013 your doctor will go over all of the precautions you will need to take.<\/p>\n
