Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) offers comfortable and effective photofacials for the treatment of sun damage and spider veins. The Palomar Photorejuvenation process uses specialized handpieces which filter light to target blood vessels and pigmented lesions on the skin. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as sunspot removal or vessel clearance. Pulses of light are directed onto the skin; the light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots and the blood in visible vessels, which typically fade from view within two weeks.
The photorejuvenation process treats multiple conditions:
- Sun damage, including brown spots or areas of pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas
- Sunspots -- Pigmented lesions, also known as age spots
- Rosacea, or the general flushing of the cheeks and face
- Spider veins -- Individual vessels which can be red, blue or purple in color visible on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas
IPL photorejuvenation provides the most skin-safe, comfortable, and effective photofacials available with little to no downtime. Treatments are quick, and you can return to work or other activities looking and feeling fine.
