Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is a new procedure that treats a combination of changes of premature aging in the skin caused by sun damage (pigmentation and facial vessels) as well as rosacea and permanent hair reduction. It is also an effective treatment of acne.
What is IPL Treatment?
IPL is a non invasive medical technology that uses light therapy for permanent hair reduction, eliminating age spots, sun spots, freckles and other unsightly discolourations of the skin, superficial capillaries, port wine stains and other benign vascular lesions. It is also particularly effective for a high percentage of people with rosacea.
How does IPL work?
The treatment is applied by placing a hand-held treatment unit on your skin> This generates an intense pulse of light into the skin which is absorbed by elements with colour in the skin. The IPL also eliminates hair, employing a method known as selective photodermolysis. This involves disabling hair growth mechanisms by raising the temperature of the hair follicle high enough to damage the follicles germinative cells without damaging the skin and surrounding surface.
The chromophores include melanin-brown (in pigmented areas) and haemosiderin-red (in blood vessels). Once the photons from the light hit the chromophore it turns to heat energy, destroying these abnormal areas, but leaving the healthy skin unscathed.
Do Intense Pulsed Light treatments hurt?
You may feel a slight pinch such as that of a snap of a rubber band, but no local anaesthesia or pain medication is required.
Are there any side effects from Intense Pulsed Light treatments?
You may experience some short-term effects. This may include slight reddening of the skin or
local swelling which goes away within a few hours.
Is there any down time or restrictions on activity after IPL?
You can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. Treated areas must be kept protected from the sun for 6 weeks after treatment with an SPF 30+ sunblock.
