Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment in Lexington, KY

What is Intense Pulsed Light?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) also known as photo-facial, fotofacial, and photo rejuvenation, is a state-of-the-art system and the latest technique in photofacial therapy. The IPL system delivers high intensity, smooth and powerful pulses of light that greatly enhances the results of your skin rejuvenation. For skin therapy, IPL stimulates new collagen growth resulting in smoother, more even, healthier skin.

IPL Improves:

  • Brown or Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Flat Pigmented Birthmarks
  • Rosacea
  • Skin Discoloration
  • Sun-Damaged Skin
  • Pore Size
  • Acne

How Does IPL Work?

A highly advanced computer regulates the light pulse to a specific wavelength range. The penetration depth and degree of heat is highly controlled to minimize complications. Depending on the wavelength used, the tissue targeted is either hemoglobin (red blood cells) in the dermis (deeper layer of the skin) or melanin pigment in the epidermis (uppermost skin layer). The unwanted tissue is heated and damaged or destroyed while the surrounding healthy tissue remains untouched.

An additional bonus is that the treatment causes inflammation of tiny blood vessels in the skin which stimulates the production of new collagen. It is possible to shrink sebaceous glands (oil glands), and pore size, with repeated treatments. The number of treatments necessary to achieve this result varies from patient to patient. Most patients require 5 treatments on average.

IPL Treats the Following Areas:

  • Face
  • Neck
  • Chest
  • Hands
  • Arms
  • Legs
  • Feet
  • Almost all other body areas

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment

During your IPL procedure, you will wear protective eyewear and a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the treatment area. Then, a cold, soothing gel will be applied and a glass prism (pyramid) will then be placed over the treatment area. An intense flash of light, or pulse, is flashed through the prism to the targeted skin. You may feel some warm sensations or a very mild stinging during treatment, but there is minimal discomfort. You may have some pinkness or redness in or around the treatment area immediately after the treatment. Also, there may be some mild swelling, crusting or bruising which will go away after a few days.

How many IPL treatments should I have?

A series of 5 treatments is usually recommended for most skin types and body areas. Treatments are scheduled several weeks apart for optimal results. Dr. Hester will determine the number of treatments that your specific skin type and condition will require at the time of your consultation or treatment.

When will you notice improvement?

You will start to see results after one or two treatments, depending on the nature of the problem. Some skin problems will require several treatments before you see any difference.

Advantages of IPL Over Other Treatments:

  • Gentle
  • No Recovery Time
  • No Interruption of Routine Activities
  • Painless
  • Subtle Results
