Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) photorejuvenation is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that improves skin appearance without damaging the surface.
During the procedure, high-intensity pulses of light target the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production, which strengthens and refreshes your skin. For enhanced results, a topical agent such as Levulan® may be applied before treatment to boost the effectiveness of IPL therapy.
IPL works in much the same manner as nonablative lasers. Cells in your skin that have too much color absorb the light energy from the treatment, causing them to disintegrate. IPL is more effective than lasers because it delivers a higher number of energy wavelengths in each pulse.
If you have any skin conditions caused by the aging process or sun exposure, you’re likely to benefit from IPL. These dermatological conditions include:
For the best results, Dr. Ahdoot usually recommends between four and five IPL treatments in each targeted area. Your appointments should be spaced about four to six weeks apart.
If you’ve been treated with the medication Levulan, you may require fewer IPL treatments. Dr. Ahdoot customizes your treatment plan depending on your condition and goals.
You’re likely to tolerate IPL therapy very well. This treatment is commonly described to feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin as the energy comes through the handpiece.
IPL therapy features a very low risk of side effects and a fast recovery time. You can expect to go right back to your normal activities following treatment. If your skin is extra sensitive, talk to
Dr. Ahdoot about applying a topical anesthetic before treatment to reduce any discomfort.
