Understanding the Benefits of IPL for Skin Rejuvenation
- posted: Sep. 06, 2024
IPL is an abbreviation for intense pulsed light therapy. Nicole Williams, LE of Padre Dermatology, serving Corpus Christi, TX, and the nearby region, uses it on patients with various skin problems, and it's quite beneficial.
General Information
When you receive this treatment, we direct high-intensity light pulses to the area where you have skin concerns. This light is visible on the spectrum. The light energy given consists of multiple wavelengths of light, as opposed to lasers that release only one.
Despite being a scattered, non-focused light, IPL still penetrates through the first layer of skin to reach the dermis. The light energy emitted isn't damaging to the skin as a whole. Instead, the light converts to heat energy. For much of what we use it for, it harms the pigmentation in the skin on a microscopic level.
Your body then sweeps away the damaged cells and initiates a healing process. The result is a better, more even skin tone without the presence of dark spots.
Conditions We Use IPL to Treat
You can benefit from IPL if you have any of the following:
- Freckles
- Age spots
- Birthmarks
- Sun damage
- Rosacea
- Acne
- Scars
It's also beneficial for those with varicose veins.
Why Choose IPL
IPL offers a number of benefits to patients.
Relatively Quick
While we offer several skin treatments at our Corpus Christi, TX, office, we recommend this treatment to a variety of patients because it's a relatively quick procedure. We can usually finish one session in 20 to 30 minutes. The number of sessions you require to see full results will depend on the severity of your issue. On average, though, patients tend to need between four and six.
Minimal Side Effects
We'd like to stress that side effects are minimal. In the beginning, you may have increased skin sensitivity or a burning or stinging sensation. Your skin may appear slightly red or have a bit of discoloration that'll fade. These are only temporary. Any more serious side effects are rare.
Look Younger
Because this procedure alters the skin's color and texture, you'll look younger without the need for an invasive procedure. Your skin will also look healthier overall, and healthy skin is associated with youth.
No Downtime
You won't need to schedule any downtime after you receive IPL. You may return to all your usual activities, even work, immediately after your treatment.
