This procedure is not done with a laser, but instead involves a process called photorejuvenation or photofacial. It is a safe, non-invasive procedure that uses a broadband of intense light pulses to help correct facial skin imperfections from chronic sun exposure (sun damage).* The dermis is gently heated to stimulate fibroblasts, which generates more collagen. Existing collagen becomes remodeled so that the skin feels and appears smoother after IPL treatments. Dr. Christine Brown, a board-certified dermatologist in Dallas, TX, uses the Lumenis One IPL device, which is considered the most advanced IPL system on the market. The Lumenis One was invented by the company that invented IPL. The utilized software system was derived from a clinical database of over 4,000 patients who were treated safely and effectively with this device. Treatments are quick and relatively painless, owing to the incorporation of a sapphire chilled tip. In addition, a Zimmer Cryo 5 is used along with the Lumenis IPL device to apply super-chilled air across the skin during treatments. This provides cryoanesthesia, making treatments more comfortable and safe.
- IPL can treat the entire face and other body surfaces (not just small areas)
- It causes little discomfort
- Patients can return immediately to normal activities
- It provides gradual, natural-looking improvement
- It provides long-lasting results
Dr. Brown uses Lumenis One IPL to treat a variety of skin conditions in her Dallas, TX office, such as sun damage, brown spots, dilated vessels, fine wrinkles, skin discoloration, large pores, rough textured skin, rosacea, flushing and ruddiness.
You may need two to five treatments to treat your specific skin condition. Each treatment lasts approximately 20 minutes and is often performed in combination with microdermabrasion. The benefit of IPL photofacial treatment is that it treats skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface, so there is no downtime! Treated skin appears lighter, brighter and more luminous, because more light is reflected from the surface of even, smoother skin.
