Erase Your Skin’s Past

IPL…For That FLAWLESS Complexion

BY JUDY WAGONER

BEAUTIFUL SKIN ISTHE HALLMARK of youth. With Intense Pulsed Light therapy…you can improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure, noticed mostly on your face, neck, chest, and hands, but most any area of the body can be treated.

An evenly-colored, pigment-free complexion is very important for maintaining a youthful look. Blotchy skin doesn’t reflect light very well, making the complexion look dull. But unified skin tones do reflect light and can take years off of our appearance.

While it may sound like a laser treatment…it’s not a laser. IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light, which means we can treat a variety of skin issues, including freckles, age spots, melasma, and rosacea. Rosacea is a facial redness caused by spider veins and acne-like outbreaks. About 90 percent of our patients are very satisfied with their level of clearing…especially with the redness of rosacea.

This magic wand can smooth and soothe facial woes and delete fine to moderate lines and wrinkles. Because the light generates heat, it stimulates cells to form more collagen, as much as 20 percent more. Because it plumps the skin, it’s like getting a collagen injection, but using your own collagen.

Best of all, there’s no downtime. It’s truly a lunch time therapy. Most treatments take about 45 minutes to perform. Afterward, there is just a flush, which goes away in less than two hours. You can apply makeup directly after the treatment.

Depending upon the severity of problem…several treatments (one to three) may be needed to remove all pigment.

Uneven skin tones can add just as many years to your skin as having fine lines and wrinkles. After IPL, your skin tone will be more even, creating younger looking skin. Other services offered at Professional Laser Center include microneedling, laser hair removal, PinPointe FootLaser, Botox, filler, and bio-identical hormone replacement, which can be achieved with compounded creams, pellets, shots, troches, and capsules.
