IPL Skin Treatments using Photorejuvenation offers a solution that: * Addresses skin conditions that are most visible * Treats the entire face, not only small spots * Causes little discomfort * Offers an immediate return to routine activities * Provides gradual, natural-looking improvement * Produces long-lasting results Photorejuvenation with IPL is the most versatile of all treatment options. IPL can treat numerous skin conditions at once. It is effective on red blemishes that originate from blood vessels, as well as brown pigment blemishes in the form of freckles, age spots and other sun damage. IPL also treats the neck, chest and hands, where sun damage is often most visible. Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the areas to be treated and patients wear protective eyewear. During treatment, a physician or trained staff member gently applies the smooth, glass surface of the IPL handpiece to the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pulses that are typically pain-free. In most cases, the entire face is treated, but the therapy can also work well on the neck, chest and hands. IPL treats the damaged superficial layer of the skin, while delivering thermal energy to deeper tissue. Clinical studies are now underway to quantify the effect this energy has on collagen production, which helps firm and tighten the skin.   More Info
