Photo Rejuvenation

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and 532nm Laser Peel treatments dramatically rejuvenate the complexion to give you younger, healthier skin. Intense Pulsed Light treats sun damage and unsightly veins to improve your appearance while 532nm Laser Peel stimulates collagen remodeling at the dermal level to improve overall skin texture and also removes unwanted pigment at the same time.

What is IPL Photo Rejuvenation? Also popularly known as Photopeel or Photofacial, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments rejuvenate the complexion and reduce the effects of sun-damage giving you smoother, younger and healthier-looking skin. What specifically does it treat? IPL treats age spots, uneven pigmentation, broken capillaries, facial veins, flushing and rosacea. It also reduces pore size and improves skin tone. Is it safe? IPL has been FDA-approved as safe and effective for over thirteen years. How long do treatments take and does it hurt? Each treatment takes about 15-30 minutes with minimal to no discomfort. What areas can be treated? The face, neck, chest, shoulders, hands, and legs can all be safely treated. What should I expect after treatment? Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation which typically resolves within a day. Any minor discomfort can be alleviated by an ice pack. • Sunspots/Sun Damage: The sunspots will darken after treatment and flake off the skin within 1-2 weeks. • Rosacea: Skin tone will have less redness within a week after treatment. • Spider Veins: Vessels may disappear after treatment or fade after 10-14 days. 532nm Laser Peel Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt? How long does the treatment take? Some discomfort may be experienced during this procedure. An aesthetic numbing cream is used to help you have a comfortable experience. Treatments are typically completed in 45 minutes. How many treatments will I need? One treatment is what most patients require for dramatic results. Occasionally, a second treatment may be recommended for a more thorough clean-up. How long do the results last? We recommend that you get treated in a year’s time to maintain results. What should I expect after treatment? Immediately after treatment, the skin may feel warm or sunburned and temporary redness may occur which typically resolves in 2 to 3 days. Pigmented areas get darker and flake off over 1 to 2 weeks. Avoid picking, scratching or removing flakes. We also recommend that you use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater and avoid tanning during this time for the best possible results. Gradual pigment lightening may also occur for one month or so after treatment. While this procedure is called a Laser Peel, the skin rarely peels. Any residual discomfort may be alleviated by ice pack. Aloe Vera gel and hydrocortisone 1% may also be used if any skin irritation occurs.
