IPL Photorejuvenation

The Science of Light: IPL™ Helps Restore the Skin's Youthful Glow

Many skin complaints caused by ageing and sun damage can be successfully treated using the yellow light produced by the Energist Ultra. These include: redness, rosacea, age spots, freckles, pigment changes, skin texture and fine lines. Recent studies have shown that even active acne (Acne Vulgaris) has responded very well to phototherapy using yellow light.

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. Patients often schedule appointments during their lunch hours. 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.

Getting Started

A specific plan will be determined for each new patient, accounting for the type and severity of skin conditions being treated. Four to six treatments are usually recommended, at four-weekly intervals. Each session takes about 20 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately afterwards. IPL™ treatments provide gradual, natural improvement with excellent long-term results.

What to Expect

A cold gel is usually applied to the areas to be treated and patients wear protective eyewear. During treatment, the registered laser operator 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. Occasionally some signs of treatment, such as redness, can last for one or two hours. Results from a full series of treatments usually last for a year or more.
