IPL technology, also known as Photofacial improves the appearance of photo-aged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments and Rosacea through a process called Photo Rejuvenation and it also removes unwanted hair from face and body.

IPL is a new technology that gradually and naturally helps the skin recover its youthful appearance without patient downtime. At VVMC, we do IPL treatments with state-of-the-art equipment, the safest, most efficient and fastest technology available at present, with chilled sapphire tip to keep the skin cool.

These are the eight major treatments we are offering our patients with IPL technology:

• Acne Photoclearance
• Permanent Hair Reduction
• Photofacial Rejuvenation (reduces fine wrinkles and large pores)
• Pigmented Lesions (brown spots, dark circles around the Eyes, age spots)
• Psoriasis
• Rosacea (flushing and redness)
• Talangiectasias (spider veins)
• Vascular Lesions

A gentle flash of intense light is quickly pulsed over the treatment area every three seconds until the area has received an adequate “dose” of light energy.


Most patients find the process surprisingly comfortable. The removal of brown spots, such as solar lentigenes and lentigos, is so quick and easy, the comfort factor is generally not an issue with most patients. The comfort level of the treatments varies from person to person based on a number of factors and varies from place to place on the body and face, and the type of pigment lesion. For more sensitive individuals and areas, a 4% topical anesthetic gel can be applied one hour before treatment.


Yes.


If your pigmented lesions resulted from exposure to the sun or tanning beds, it will be necessary to refrain these activities and wear good quality sun block to prevent recurrences.
