Intense pulsed light (IPL) photofacial therapy is a skin care treatment that can erase sun damage, wrinkles, stretch marks, brown spots, and other irregular pigmentation on the upper body.
Residents of McLean, VA no longer need to worry about these skin-related problems. At Tiam Spa, we can help you get rid of it.
While face creams and other specialty skin care products can help diminish pigmentation-related issues—getting rid of them completely may require a more effective and intense process. This is where an Intense Pulsed Light treatment comes in.
While it may be similar to laser treatments, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy provides a more gentle experience. It's a type of cosmetic light therapy that can remove years worth of damage, such as:
While IPL can be an alternative to laser hair removal, this technology can also be used to address concerns with appearance and can help make one feel more confident in minutes.
Compared to lasers, which focuses a singular wavelength of light against your skin, IPL releases more at different wavelengths—similar to a flash from a photo. Light from Intense Pulsed Light treatments is less focused than a laser.
This light is then absorbed deeply into the skin, which is soaked up by the hemoglobin (red blood cells) and melanin (pigmentation). This intentionally damages these areas. However, the damaged melanin will break up and be absorbed by the skin, which decreases its appearance on the skin's surface.
On the other hand, damaged hemoglobin can stimulate the flow of blood. This helps the melanin be absorbed more effectively.
IPL Photofacial treatment can correct problem areas and even the skin tone—but there are still side effects to keep in mind. Common side effects after acquiring this skin treatment can include:
Side effects will disappear after 7 to 14 days. One can use sunscreen, moisturizer, and cleansers to help minimize or reduce side effects.
