How IPL Photofacials Work
IPL, which stands for “intense pulsed light,” involves using a precisely calibrated light-emitting device to target specific skin concerns or provide overall facial rejuvenation. When the pulses of light emitted by this device are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) and red blood cells in the skin, heat is generated. This heat imitates a superficial injury without causing any lasting damage, unlike a burn. The IPL device is designed to activate the skin’s natural healing processes without harming the delicate dermal tissue. When administered by a qualified professional, IPL therapy should not result in scarring, infection, or other complications.
As the skin undergoes the repair process, it will shed its dull, damaged outer layer, form supple, and vibrant new skin. This process also stimulates the production of skin-firming proteins (collagen and elastin), which helps counteract the effects of age-related collagen loss. Additionally, the light emitted during IPL therapy breaks down the dark pigment in age spots and freckles, promoting a more even skin tone.
IPL treatments use poly-chromatic (broad spectrum) light to achieve their desired effects. Unlike conventional medical lasers that emit light within a narrow band of wavelengths, IPL therapy utilizes light with many different wavelengths. By adjusting the emitted wavelengths, our specialists can customize the IPL photofacial to target specific skin conditions. This adjustable nature of the procedure makes IPL treatment highly versatile and easy to personalize, allowing it to address a single issue or multiple problems simultaneously.
