IPL treatment uses the power of broadband light to minimize the appearance of age spots, sun spots, acne scars, rosacea, and more and typically requires 20 – 30 minutes per treatment. It can be used on the face and on the neck with visible results typically after one to three treatments, depending on skin type and settings.
Most used for:
• brown spots due to sun or aging (on face, neck, chest, hands and more)
• redness reduction, rosacea, dilated and “broken” blood vessels
• to control flushing
• to improve skin texture with collagen stimulation,
• to improve pore sizes by temporarily reducing oiliness
IPL Laser works by adopting strong pulses of light the deep tissues of the skin, where there is damage.
As there are many different types of lasers, it is suggested to have a first consultation with one of our providers.
WHAT IS IPL AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses high-intensity light to target specific skin concerns. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented cells in the skin, such as freckles, age spots, and blood vessels, causing them to break down and fade over time.
WHAT SKIN CONCERNS IPL CAN TREAT??
IPL is effective in addressing various skin concerns, including sunspots, age spots, freckles, facial redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and mild acne scars. It can also help improve overall skin texture and tone.
IS IPL SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
At Aesthetic Skin Winnetka, we use advanced IPL technology that is safe for most skin types, but it’s crucial to consult with our trained professionals to determine if IPL is the right treatment for your skin.
WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY CAN I TREAT WITH IPL?
IPL can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms, to target specific skin concerns in those areas.
HOW LONG EACH SESSION TYPICALLY TAKES?
The duration of an IPL session can vary depending on the size of the treated area and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Generally, sessions can last from 15 minutes to an hour.
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME?
IPL is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Some patients may experience slight redness or mild swelling immediately after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS?
The number of IPL sessions required for optimal results can vary based on individual skin concerns and response to treatment. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, is recommended for the best outcomes.
