Have you noticed several new dark spots on your face, hands, or maybe your neck? Has your skin become darkened over the years or discolored in specific areas, with unwanted hair? Do you notice small red marks (broken capillaries) on your cheeks or around the creases of your nose?
If you’re experiencing an unwanted skin condition similar to the one’s listed above, our professionals at Hollywood Body Laser are available to suggest the best IPL Photofacial option for you!
Intense pulsed Light (IPL) also known as a Photofacial is a non-invasive treatment that emits a broadband beam of light through a small crystal onto the skin. Our IPL is a secret weapon for reversing pigmentation problems, unwanted hair, active acne or the tone of someone’s skin on any part of the body. The signs of aging can be treated easily by our IPL machine and safely by our expert laser technicians.
Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the face, causing redness, flushing, and small, red, pus-filled bumps. It most commonly appears on the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. It is more commonly seen in fair-skinned individuals and tends to affect women more than men. While there is no cure for rosacea, treatment options such as IPL photo facials help to manage the symptoms and minimize flare-ups.
During treatment, the skin lesions or broken vessels resulting from rosacea absorb the light from the IPL’s laser technology and jumpstart the healing process. Over time, facial redness, blood vessels, and other rosacea symptoms will begin to fade, revealing a more radiant complexion.
If you struggle with acne and breakouts, an IPL photofacial is the solution you need. The unique IPL technology uses light flashes over the inflammatory area and triggers a response that will eventually kill the bacteria within the pores. IPL is a non-invasive solution with less potential side effects compared to oral medication. Additionally, acne-causing bacteria can become resistant to certain antibiotics, reducing the effectiveness of oral medications. Therefore, IPL can be a more effective option in battling acne and inflammation for many individuals.
IPL photofacial is an effective treatment that can help reduce the appearance of pigmented lesions. These refer to areas of the skin that have developed darker patches or spots, such as age spots, freckles, or melasma. The light used in this treatment is adjusted to a different wavelength that is specifically attracted to the pigment in these spots. As the light energy is absorbed by the pigmented cells, it breaks them down, allowing the body to naturally get rid of them over time.
Hyperpigmentation is another condition that is alleviated with IPL therapy. Essentially, IPL uses light energy to heat and break up the excess melanin. The laser is attracted to the hyperpigmentation on the skin and draws it towards the surface, eventually flaking off. IPL treatments help diminish the dark shadows of hyperpigmentation, sun spots and liver spots and provides a clearer, smoother complexion.
Our IPL machine uses a unique combination of radiofrequency and light to isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects. Using gentle pulses of two targeted energies means better results with lower overall energy output, assuring the highest level of safety and comfort.
IPL can effectively help diminish vascular lesions such as small blood vessels, spider veins and broken capillaries. When treating redness, the laser setting is attracted to the hemoglobin and heats up the tiny vessels until they collapse and the blood retreats. As a result, this causes blood vessels and broken capillaries to gradually fade away over time. This process doesn’t harm the skin around the capillaries, making it a safe and effective way to reduce their visibility and provide a clearer, smoother complexion.
During the treatment, your skincare professional will begin by cleansing your skin to remove any dirt or makeup. Then, they will apply a cool gel to the treatment area to protect your skin and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. Next, the professional will use a handheld device that emits flashes of intense pulsed light onto your skin. This light is absorbed by the pigments in your skin, such as brown spots or red blotches. The light energy then breaks down these pigments, causing them to gradually fade away.
During the treatment it will be normal to feel some discomfort especially, on the sensitive areas. The crystal has a chilled tip to help cool the skin before and after the light beam is fired. You will feel some heat after the beam of light is absorbed into your skin, but it will only last for a split second. It feels similar to a small rubber band snapping your skin; the thin areas on the body are more sensitive and tend to feel more of the effects from the machine.
The length of the treatment will depend on the size and condition of the treated area. However, most IPL photofacial sessions take about 30 minutes to an hour. After the treatment, the professional will cleanse your skin again to remove any remaining gel or debris. Following the treatment, patients may experience some temporary redness or mild swelling, however, it will go away on its own.
To achieve the best results, multiple IPL photofacial sessions may be necessary, usually scheduled a few weeks apart. Each session will help to improve the skin’s appearance, making it look brighter, smoother, and more even toned.
After your IPL treatment, you can go to work as long as you wear sunscreen. After an IPL treatment you will be able to go to lunch with a friend if you want because there is no downtime to the treatment. It’s a quick and easy treatment completed by certified professionals with guaranteed results.
