IPL (standing for Intense Pulsed Light) is a treatment stronger than previous lasers, that can selectively target pigmentation. If most lasers use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses a combination of wavelengths and can therefore reach different parts/layers of the skin, simultaneously treating more than one type of lesion/pigmentation. It is used for a variety of purposes, including permanent hair removal, vascular treatment, phototherapy, and so forth. IPL is an increasingly popular treatment option all over the world, and its safety has already been approved by the FDA US. The best part? This treatment is virtually painless and has no downtime.
What are its effects?
The biggest advantage of IPL might be its ability to treat several conditions at once, unlike other lasers that can only use one wavelength. For example, if you had vascular lesions, pigmentation, and fine lines, you would have previously needed three different laser treatments. With IPL, however, you can target all of these in one session, improving your general skin condition and tone. The effects are gradual and natural - you'll have great skin, but your friends won't even realize that you actually had something done!
Indications for IPL:
-Skin pigmentation
-Vascular conditions
-Large pores, acne scars
-Aging skin, wrinkles
-Under eye dark circles
-Hair removal
Here are also some guidelines and tips to read before treatment:
1. If you are taking any medications, inform the doctor beforehand.
2. Don't rub the treatment area for a few days.
3. Pigmentation may appear darker for a few days. They will lighten eventually!
4. Avoid/protect yourself from UVA rays several days before and after treatment.
5. Treatment is usually conducted every 4 weeks.
6. Results are not instant with IPL - it's important to have patience!
7. Keep yourself moisturized to further rejuvenate skin - the treatment may cause temporary dryness.
8. If you experience any heat flashes or swelling, use a cold pack.
9. Avoid excessive exercise for about 2 weeks.
