IPL - Intense Pulsed Light
Skin Rejuvenation in the San Francisco Bay area, including San Jose and Walnut Creek
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a new revolutionary, non-laser technology used
to revitalize the skin, reduce or eliminate benign vascular lesions and
rosacea, and remove unwanted facial or body hair.
IPL uses pulses of intense light, focused and delivered in a precisely controlled and safe manner to the area of treatment. There is no damage to the skin and no significant recovery or healing is required. The skin rejuvenation treatment is nearly free of any discomfort and adverse effects are minimal.
A variety of skin conditions can be treated including,
- Discolorations, freckles, moles and mottled pigmentation.
- Sun-induced damage including age spots and fine lines.
Many vascular conditions can be treated including,
- Broken facial veins and capillaries typically appearing as red streaks or blotches (telangiectasia and poikiloderma).
- Dilated facial blood vessels (rosacea and erythema).
- Vascular birthmarks.
- Varicose and spider veins of the legs.
Hair removal including,
- Facial
- Underarm
- Bikini line
- General body hair
IPL treatment therapy typically produces an overall improvement in the quality of the skin, correcting many of the effects of aging and sun damage. The skin becomes smoother and the texture and complexion is improved. Both superficial and deeper skin layers are rejuvenated with long-term improvements.
IPL and skin rejuvenation treatments are typically 20-45 minutes long. Patients can usually return to work or other activities immediately following treatment. Most conditions respond well with a gradual series of 2-6 treatments. Multiple treatments assure the patient has very low risk with each session and no "downtime".
IPL procedures may be performed alone, or in conjunction with other facial cosmetic surgery procedures, such as augmenting a face lift by improving skin texture and health.
