Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), also known
as Photofacial, is a non-ablative mixture
of many wavelengths of light which work beneath the
skin’s surface to greatly reduce brown spots,
discolorations, redness, and broken capillaries. Photorejuvenation
with IPL also improves skin tone and texture,
and minimizes fine lines by inducing significant structural
change in the epidermis and dermis. Generally, a series
of two to four IPL treatments is needed to gradually
give your skin a more homogeneous appearance. Further
improvement can be achieved by combining IPL with treatments
such as dermal fillers and Botox. |

How Does IPL Work?
IPL treatments utilize intense pulsed light to target
a variety of skin conditions. Dr. Lafkas will customize the IPL settings to best match
the relativ e
depth, size, and absorption characteristics of the intended
target (e.g. brown spot versus superficial capillary). This
flexibility and variability allows us to maximize results
and minimize side effects.
