What is IPL?
Imagine having the skin of your dreams, flawless, smooth, and free of imperfections that doesn’t require make-up and retouching in pictures. Now, you can experience your best skin with the help of the IPL Photofacial Skin Rejuvenation Treatment. Clareon IPL is effective in treating a variety of skin conditions from:
- Hyperpigmentation (brown spots)
- Wrinkles and loose skin
- Rosacea/redness and broken capillaries
- Reducing pore size
The results of skin rejuvenation can be dramatic in just 2 – 3 sessions spaced 3 – 4 weeks apart with a visibly tighter, clearer, and refreshed complexion. (Sometimes 4 treatments are needed depending on what is trying to be accomplished). Women reported skin that looks 10 years younger after IPL treatments.
We use the Clareon IPL System by US based Novalis Medical voted “Best IPL Technology” by Aesthetic Trends Magazine and offers patented technology to allow for safer treatments than other IPL devices.
Come in for a consultation to see if this is an option for you – there are different hand pieces for different skin issues and they can also be combined with each other and combined with Microneedling. For example, to tighten jowls, neck and more, we combine microneedling with IPL Skin Tightening in the same session.
What should I expect from my Photo facial/IPL treatment?
- During treatment, pigmented areas will darken. Over the next 2-3 days pigmented areas will darken about 2×3 times their original color. Pigment will may “scab” and begin to flake off in the next 5-7 days.
- It is important that you don’t pick at scabs; this can cause hypo-pigmentation and possible scarring.
- Most patients will require 2-4 treatments to achieve desired results.
- You may want to schedule a follow up treatment with an Aesthetician 1 week post treatment to help exfoliate excess pigmentation.
- Following laser treatments it is beneficial to schedule maintenance facial treatments, and continue to use recommended skin care treatment products at home.
Post Treatment Care
- Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks post laser treatments.
- Use of a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 30 is critical when receiving any laser treatments, and is recommended for maintenance of results. Any sun exposure may darken or burn treated areas.
- Tylenol is recommended post treatment if continued discomfort occurs.
- Avoid any additional laser treatments or peels in treated areas for 2 weeks or until complete healing has occurred.
- You may apply ice packs, cool towels or aloe-vera to alleviate discomfort. Avoid any topical products until skin feels back to normal.
- Call the office if any questions or concerns arise.
What is microneedling?
We use a microneedling pen and use Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance your body naturally produces, but as we age, our body produces less. We infuse the HA that is naturally derived from yeast and not from animals. It is cruelty free and pure. It improves elasticity and hydrates the skin to leave a youthful glow. Microneedling is a pen with 16 very fine needles that go into the skin to safely promote collagen and elastin production through the body’s natural healing response.
Microneedling treats:
Wrinkles
Hyperpigmentation
Texture and pores
Acne and other scarring
A new disposable needling tip is used for each client, each session. We follow hospital sanitation guidelines in all of our treatments.
How does the microneedling treatment feel?
The treatment is approximately 45 minutes for face and if you add neck and decollette, about 1 hour. We use a numbing cream to make the treatment very comfortable. We apply Hyaluronic acid onto the area so it can be infused into the skin. The microneedling treatment is not painful, but you do feel a little bit of the vibration as the needles are going into the face at 0.5 to 1.5mm deep. There are approximately 3 passes to each section. We use brand new sterilized tips for each client and gloves throughout and use all of the proper sanitary procedures. Your skin may be pink/red following the treatment.
