IPL

When the sun permanently damages your skin, it’s called “photoaging.” This can cause early signs of aging, like brown spots and wrinkles. IPL penetrates deep into your dermis, which causes your skin to absorb its energy and blast away unwanted pigment, like hyperpigmentation.

Not sure if you have photoaged skin? Here are some signs you might be dealing with sun damage:

• Changes in pigmentation such as brown spots, liver spots, or freckles
• Decreased elasticity in your skin
• Spider veins around your nose and on your chest
• Wrinkles and fine lines

Redness, blotchiness, and broken capillaries are all signs of sun damage. IPL spider vein treatments on the face work by permanently damaging the walls of your broken capillaries by using heat. When your spider veins are damaged, they disappear and are absorbed by your body.

IPL treatments for photoaged skin are virtually pain-free and require no downtime. As the treatment emits heat, you might feel minor discomfort. However, most patients report minor to no discomfort.

Treatment only takes about thirty minutes, and you can return to your daily routine as soon as your session is over.

The best part about IPL treatments for sun damaged skin is that results will be noticeable in about 2 weeks. You can see up to 70% less brown spots and redness caused by the sun after only 4-6 treatments. Yearly maintenance is typically recommended to address new sun damage.

You can have IPL treatments anywhere on your body, including your face. So, if you’re tired of seeing sun damaged skin when you look in the mirror and are ready for actual results, IPL laser treatments might be perfect for you.

IPL is safe for almost anyone. However, if you’re prone to keloid scarring, talk to your provider before committing to this treatment.
