Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Skin Rejuvenation
As we age, our skin reflects damage from the sun and wear-and-tear of daily life. Photo-rejuvenation diminishes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most brown pigmentation and redness due to broken capillaries, improves dull complexion, and large pores, as well as flushing and rosacea. This treatment is often referred to as a photofacial.
Pulsed light is applied in a series of pulses over the treatment area, which penetrates the sub-surface skin layers and is absorbed by the blood vessels or by pigmentation. The heat impairs the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural healing process. Treatment generally involves a series of three to five sessions. The Alma Harmony (IPL) has patented technology that allows us to use lower energies while delivering more light to the targeted tissue with little or no discomfort. Common areas of treatment are the face, chest, hands, arms, and legs.
While some patients see significant improvement in two to three treatments, others may require more. To help guarantee the best results, you must limit your exposure to the sun for several weeks before and after treatment and be committed to daily sunscreen use.
