IPL Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation, which uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, can help reduce the appearance of some of the most common skin woes, including brown spots, melasma, rosacea, broken capillaries and sun spots. This skin procedure can also treat signs of aging such as wrinkles or age spots. There’s very little recovery time and few side effects, making it a popular procedure.

IPL is a non-invasive skin treatment that will improve the overall colour and texture of your skin and is suitable for conditions such as rosacea, hyperpigmentation (brown spots), wrinkles, texture problems, large visible pores, melisma, excessive flushing, freckles, age and sun spots, broken capillaries, spider veins, cherry angioma and stretch marks or scars.

FAQ

How does the IPL treatment improve the appearance of blood vessels, rosacea, and age spots/freckles?

The laser/IPL device emits a range of lightwaves that are then tuned and targeted at hemoglobin (the red blood cells in the blood vessels) or melanin (the brown pigment in freckles and age spots). The light beam passes through the skin and is absorbed by either hemoglobin or melanin resulting in damage to the vessel wall or fragmenting of melanin pigment. These tiny vessels and the melanin pigment are then absorbed by the body, rendering them less visible.

How does the IPL treatment improve the appearance of blood vessels, rosacea, and age spots/freckles?

Most people require 3-6 treatments about 1 month apart. You can see some improvement with each treatment, but it’s common for your response to be slightly different to each treatment. The more sun damage or redness you have, the more likely you are to need a full six treatments. Some cases of severe redness or brown spots require more than 6 treatments. Expect to see gradual clearing over time.

What will I look like right after the IPL treatment, and what is the healing time?

There may be mild discomfort during the treatment, but most patients tolerate removal of dilated blood vessels or age spots/freckles and fine lines very easily. The first treatment is usually the “zingiest.” As your skin begins to clear, the treatments usually become even more comfortable. Treatments usually take 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

What will I look like right after the IPL treatment, and what is the healing time?

For veins, generally, the skin looks slightly redder after the treatment for two to five days. Makeup can be used starting right after the treatment, as long as it is applied and removed very gently.

For freckles and age spots, the spots generally look darker for 3-7 days. Crusting can occur, which may last up to ten days. The lesions will then begin to clear and will generally be resolving at one month. Remember, it takes an average of 3-5 treatments to clear age spots.

What should I do prior to my photorejuvenation treatment?

This depends on how much sun exposure your skin gets after your laser treatments. If you are in the sun a lot and do not use sunscreen, the underlying issues, whether they are redness or brown spots, will return. But if you take good care of your skin and keep it protected from the sun, your skin will continue to look good with annual IPL Photorejuvenation maintenance treatments.

If you want to maintain collagen growth, we currently recommend a treatment every 6-12 months. Other conditions are more variable. If you are very red, once or twice a year may be needed.

For 30 days before your treatment, avoid self-tanners and excessive sun.

Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or pain killers one week prior to treatment unless medically indicated to help prevent bruising.
