Intense Pulse Light™

Intense Pulse Light™ (IPL) technology is a gentle, non-invasive, long-lasting treatment that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions: facial skin imperfections, age spots, broken capillaries, freckles, mottled pigmentation, birthmarks, enlarged pores, unwanted hair, dark circles under the eyes, unsightly veins, the symptoms of rosacea, and other blemishes.

Our practice offers IPL by both Lumenis ONE® and InMode. InMode’s IPL, called Lumecca, is the most advanced IPL technology system. A non-laser medical device is used to deliver a series of gentle pulses of light to the skin. Both IPL systems provide dramatic skin improvements, little risk, and no downtime.

A mild amount of discomfort can be expected. Each treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the area needing treatment. Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed, although this effect will gradually fade over a period of hours. Patients can resume their normal routine. Depending on the number and severity of conditions, a series of treatments are recommended for optimal results.

After the first treatment, the skin will feel smoother, and will have a more even tone. Improvements are gradual and will be more visible after each treatment. IPL can be beneficial after laser resurfacing or facelift surgery to improve results, and can also be used in conjunction with BOTOX® Cosmetic or chemical peeling to enhance results.
