IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Brown & Red Spot Removal

Uneven skin tone is a common aesthetic problem we all notice as we age especially if we have an active lifestyle out in the sun. After years of unprotected sun exposure, you will notice brown spots, freckles, sun spots. You may also notice unwanted vessels around your nose or rosacea on your cheeks. These common concerns can be removed and you can reveal your glowing complexion.

IPL is ideal for reducing the appearance of pigment on your face, chest or hands including age spots, sun damage, freckles, or birthmarks. It is also the perfect solution for unwanted vessels on your face including spider veins, broken vessels or rosacea (redness/flushing of the cheeks). In just a few quick treatment sessions you will see a reduction in the appearance of brown spots and vessels leaving you with a more even skin tone and beautiful looking skin.

Our IPL device utilizes optimized intense pulsed light technology which, unlike lasers, uses many wavelengths of light with special filters that deliver the best wavelengths to treat specific aesthetic conditions. As the hand-piece glides over the area being treated, specialized pulses of light are delivered to your skin and target brown spots, sun-damage, and vessels without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once these targets absorb the energy they are destroyed and will slowly disappear through your body’s natural healing process. You will see your brown spots turn darker in color and flake off over the next few weeks. You may also see an immediate improvement in your vessels with a continued clearance over the next few weeks.

Our IPL is our dermatologists’ go-to device for sun damaged skin. This treatment is typically the treatment that our dermatologists advise their patients begin with if they have not yet been treated with any laser. Our patients will typically see good results on the first treatment, but multiple treatments are often necessary for optimum results. Patients who have had a lot of sun over the years will typically need to get re-treated every several years to maintain maximum benefit.
