Traditional methods of removing unwanted hair and treating unsightly skin conditions such as waxing, electrolysis, hair removal creams, and topical skin treatments are often painful and expensive, providing short term results. Fortunately, there is a laser treatment which can provide you with long lasting, beautiful results.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a revolutionary laser technology that provides exceptional results for hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments. Using a process called selective photothermolysis, your plastic surgeon can effectively correct conditions such as:

• Acne
• Sun damage
• Rosacea
• Skin hyperpigmentation
• Age spots
• Scar management

The IPL Process

Intense Pulsed Light lasers employ a full spectrum of light wavelengths which emit safe light energy in order to disintegrate hair pigments and interrupt the growth cycle. IPL lasers are also highly effective when used to treat damaged skin. They increase collagen production and firm skin tissue in order to improve poor skin complexion and texture.

The entire process is fast, painless, and highly effective. It offers you an affordable way to treat large regions of skin, including your back and legs, much more quickly than is possible with traditional laser treatment methods.

Benefits of Intense Pulsed Light Treatments

IPL treatments offer you a variety of benefits compared to alternative treatment options:

• Highly effective on all hair and skin types
• Effectively treats large regions of the body quickly and easily
• Diminished likelihood of pigmentation alterations or scarring
• Results in less discomfort or pain than other hair removal treatment options
• Offers a combination of long lasting results and a rapid treatment time
• Effectively produces hair-free, youthful looking skin on all regions of the body

At your initial consultation, your plastic surgeon will review all of the risks and benefits of IPL treatment with you to help you determine if it is the appropriate option for your needs.
