The Anti-Aging Benefits of IPL Treatments

Posted By Nicole

In terms of skin rejuvenation, nothing quite does the trick like laser treatments. There’s something to be said about the tried-and-true treatments that have staying power, such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

IPL is a light-based treatment, even though it’s often grouped with laser services, that is used to lift skin discolouration (freckles, sun damage and brown spots) as well as rosacea, acne, broken capillaries and unwanted hair. The IPL treatments are very versatile, allowing us to cover a lot of your skin's surface while treating a variety of skin conditions.

IPL photofacials are the weapon of choice when dealing with pigmentation issues because we can directly target melanin in the skin. Melanin builds up from sun exposure, as do freckles. These dark spots can improve dramatically with just a few treatments of IPL. Icon™ utilizes fractional laser technology to deliver specialized pulses of energy into your skin and targeting your unwanted pigment, and wrinkles,  without causing harm to the surrounding skin. The treatment is able to cover a large area, there is little downtime associated with it, and it is pretty much pain-free. IPL is also said to feel like a rubber band snap with a little heat. A few days after your IPL treatment, the treated area will become darker before they naturally fall off and fade. The results will be noticeable after about two to three treatments but many patients notice a difference after the first treatment.

In addition to all the benefits that IPL offers—did we mention it also stimulates collagen production?! IPL photofacials rejuvenate your skin from a textural standpoint as well. Skin looks younger and tighter after treatment.
