How Does Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Work?An intense light is applied as a series of gentle pulses to the treatment area. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by hemoglobin (blood) or melanin (pigment) without damaging your skin. Heat from the intense light impairs the targeted vessels or pigmentation, then the body begins a normal healing process. Lesions darken before they flake off or are absorbed by the body. Treatments can take place as frequently as every three weeks. For optimal results, a series of six treatments are recommended. Some patients see significant improvement with one to three treatments, while others might require more. Follow-up treatments may be needed once a year to maintain desired results.

PhotoFacial - The Premier Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
What is PhotoFacial Treatment?
A PhotoFacial involves a series of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments that improve the appearance of Rosacea, flushing and sun-damaged skin, age spots, skin texture and photo aging. Treatment also improves the appearance of mild acne scars, reduces large pores, corrects dark circles around eyes and reduces fine lines. Additionally, this exhilarating treatment involves little to no “downtime”. Normal activities immediately resume.
What is treatment like?
Treatment may range anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. First, the treated area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. Next, the light treatment is delivered accompanied by only a minor sensation of discomfort. After treatment the gel is removed, the area is cleansed, and a sunblock is applied. For those with sensitive skin, a cool compress may be applied following treatment.
Are there any possible side effects?
Side effects are rare. Right after treatment, the skin may appear flushed, brown pigmented spots may appear darker, and capillaries may be more visible. Limiting sun exposure for several weeks prior to and after treatment will greatly minimize the risk of complications.
What Improvements will I see?
Many patients see a 70% to 90% improvement following treatment and most patients are very happy with their results. After sucessive treatment, the skin will feel much smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
PhotoFacial and Rosacea
As many as seventy-million Americans have undesirable redness and/or sun-damaged skin. Sun exposure, alcohol, medication, stress, and aging often worsen the appearance of Rosacea. Rosacea is a common skin condition characterized by redness and flushing skin. PhotoFacial treatments control flushing and in many cases, reduce the need for topical cortisone creams and antibiotics.
How does treatment work?
An intense light is applied as a series of gentle pulses to the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation. Heat then impairs the targeted vessels or lesions and the body begins a natural healing process. Lesions darken before they flake off or are absorbed by the body. Treatment can take place as frequently as every three weeks.
How many treatments will I need?
For optimal results, a series of five treatments are recommended. Some patients see significant improvement with two to three treatments while others might require more. Follow-up treatments may be needed once a year to maintain desired results.

Smaller facial areas such as the lip, chin and beard can be treated in minutes.
