An Intense Pulse Light (IPL) photo-facial treatment utilizes high-intensity pulses of light to penetrate and heat the layers beneath the surface, thus reversing skin damage such as sun spots and spider veins. A [liv]® Intense Pulse Light (IPL) photo-facial will encourage new and healthy collagen to make skin appear more youthful.
The Benefits of Intense Pulse Light:
Skin takes a beating on a daily basis as it serves as our first line of defense. Outdoor elements such as wind, sun or ozone impact the appearance of our skin. A [liv]® Intense Pulse Light treatment provides an effective solution to the removal of the visual signs of skin related damage with minimal downtime.
IPL Skin Discoloration: Light energy is delivered through a special wand to the areas of your skin that have issues. The level of light energy/intensity varies depending upon your specific needs. Once the light energy hits the skin, it is absorbed by the damaged tissue and repair begins by drawing out the damage to the surface of the skin. Results provide long lasting discoloration solutions.
IPL Spider Veins: Thread veins or spider veins on the face, around the nose and cheeks. Intense Pulse Light (IPL) can be used to safely and effectively remove the appearance of veins known as telangiectasia.
IPL therapy uses many wavelengths to fix unwanted skin pigment conditions or vein changes. The light waves pass through the top layer of skin (epidermis) to the targeted lesion, either pigmented or vascular. In IPL treatment for pigment issues: The light heats the pigment cells and destroys them.
The sensation felt during IPL is that of heat and has been likened to a rubber band being snapped on the skin's surface
Photo-facial or IPL treatment results can normally last for around a year, but with proper maintenance treatments, you can make your results last for much longer. This procedure is designed to help treat hyperpigmentation, whether from acne scars, age spots, or just an overproduction of melanin.
IPL can be used on any part of the body including the face and neck, arms, back, stomach and thighs, where it can tighten the skin and improve a number of skin conditions.
