What do you do when you begin to have skin issues? Has the dermatologist told you that you have rosacea? Are you noticing wrinkles and age spots? Some skin issues are normal signs of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to take them lying down! If you are experiencing new, worsening, or persistent skin conditions that have you frustrated and annoyed, then IPL may be the right treatment for you.
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) consists of multi-wavelength light used to treat a variety of skin issues. It is also referred to as photorejuvenation. This article will discuss IPL and its benefits. You can receive IPL services at Fountain of You in Melbourne and Merritt Island.
What Is IPL?
IPL is a good alternative to laser therapy. It is non-invasive, virtually painless, and allows for minimal downtime. A handheld device is used to administer Intense Pulsed Light. It uses different wavelengths of light, instead of one wavelength like a laser. This enhances penetration. The heat energy causes cellular changes producing positive effects in your skin. IPL targets the lower layers of the skin as opposed to the surface. It prompts the body’s healing process resulting in improved tone, texture, and elasticity of the skin.
What Skin Conditions Can Be Treated Using IPL?
One of the great benefits of IPL is that it can treat a wide variety of skin conditions.
Are There Any Risks with IPL?
Overall, IPL is a very safe treatment. It is not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have experienced a recent sunburn. Additionally, if you have HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus), it could induce an outbreak, so it is recommended to begin your anti-viral medication prior to your IPL treatment. It is virtually pain-free, risk-free, and requires no downtime.
