Skin care and wellness tips to help you look and feel your best.

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is an advance in skincare technology and is widely used in cosmetic dermatology. The efficacy of the treatment has been seen to cure various skin problems, the most common being hyperpigmentation. The use of the IPL treatment in this LaserSkin MedSpa gives brilliant hope to people who want to have free glowing skin from dark spots and inconsistent skin tones.

Understanding Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is the process in which too much melanin creates deposits in the skin; thus these spots or patches in the skin become more extensive than the adjacent skin. The causes of hyperpigmentation vary in the forms of age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Age spots are due to exposure to sun and wind, whereas melasma is due to hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory is due to injury or skin diseases.

The Impact of Hyperpigmentation

For many, hyperpigmentation is not only a cosmetic but also an emotional issue; it can affect self-esteem and the quality of life. This is why such effective treatments as IPL are not just skin procedures but also irreplaceable tools for increasing confidence and improving well-being.

The Science Behind IPL Treatment

When the different forms of light used in an IPL treatment are swept over the skin, no damage is caused while the targeted pigmented areas heat up. The pigments, mainly melanin, take in the light energy and heat up to destroy the pigment into smaller particles. After that, the immune system of the body removes these particles.

How IPL Is Different

The major difference between IPL and laser treatments is the use of multiple wavelengths in IPL modes rather than one single wavelength in the case of laser treatment. Therefore, it can cause different skin problems all at a time. More precisely, in the case of hyperpigmentation, even if it is found on the surface of the skin, the epidermis, it might be lying in the dermis layer as well. Therefore, IPL is essentially considered the best-suited treatment option as it attacks pigmentation on both levels, breaking the backbone of hyperpigmentation like a boss.

The Treatment Process

An IPL treatment session usually starts with the application of a cooling gel on the treatment area, with some protective eyewear provided to the clients. An IPL device is then placed on the skin, giving off the pulses of light that penetrate the skin, only to be absorbed by the melanin clusters and by a fast process involved with minimal discomfort.

FAQ:

What is IPL treatment? 

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light treatment, is a cosmetic skin procedure that involves the use of different wavelengths of light to fix problems such as hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots. It treats discoloration by shining light on melanin in your skin. Light is absorbed into the melanin, breaking it up and leaving you with clearer skin.

How does IPL work to reduce hyperpigmentation? 

The IPL works by delivering light to the targeted darker patches of the skin. This light energy works to shatter the excess melanin causing dark spots, and then the body will naturally dispose of it. It works to even out the skin tone, thus making the dark spots less visible.

Is IPL treatment painful? 

Ideally, the procedure is painless, but there might be some level of discomfort, such as the snapping of a rubber band against the skin, with the LaserSkin MedSpa system having the most advanced and comfort-enhancing technology and cooling gels to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

How many sessions of IPL are required to see results? 

The number of sessions will depend on patient to patient, with severity and skin type being significant factors to consider. A general patient will primarily need three to six sessions spaced a month apart for the best outcome.

Sue gave me such an amazing facial. She explained what she was doing and why she was doing it. By the time I left my face was glowing and my body & mind was completely relax. Update: Over the past year I have been attending for laser hair removal & I’m thrilled with the low maintenance results!!
