IPL: WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAN IMPROVE YOUR SKIN
PL, or Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, is one of our most popular laser treatments at all of our True Balance locations (Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove)… and for good reason! Redness, flushing, and sun damage are some of the most common skin concerns today. IPL is an amazing option for those looking to reduce or eliminate these familiar issues from areas such as the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and back.
How does IPL work?
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy is a non-ablative resurfacing technology that lifts, tightens, and tones the skin, reducing pigment and redness. The light is pulsed onto the chosen treatment area over a span of 30-60 minutes, stimulating the production of collagen.
What can I expect during my IPL treatment?
When you visit for your treatment, your technician will thoroughly cleanse the area to prep your skin for the laser. The treatment is then done using a handpiece that is gently placed against your skin and the light is intermittently pulsed into the area. You can expect to feel a warm, snapping sensation and mild discomfort. Aside from some minor redness post-treatment, your skin will require very little downtime and you can return to regular activity immediately.
What results can I expect to see from IPL treatment?
After the recommended series of three treatments four weeks apart, you can expect to see a significant improvement in skin quality and texture, including a reduction in rosacea, facial veins, sun spots, age spots, and dull complexion. You can maintain this youthful appearance through follow-up treatments every 3-4 months.
