IPL or Intense Pulse Light uses heat energy from light to selectively destroy unwanted veins, pigmented or vascular lesions and hair follicles. IPL also stimulates mild inflammation which in turn stimulates regeneration of collagen tissues. This improves skin tone. The pigment in the treated area, (melanin or blood) absorbs the IPL energy while surrounding skin is left unharmed.

The VascuLightSR uses the principle of selective photothermolysis. IPL uses intense pulsed light in the visible spectrum to perform a number of beneficial services, including:

• remove hair
• rejuvenate skin
• treat portwine stains
• treat spider veins
• treat varicose veins
• remove tattoos

FotoFacial

FotoFacial treatments improve skin tone and complexion.

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?

Each treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. Without a topical anesthesia a mild amount of discomfort can be expected. The use of ELA-MAX, or other specially formulated topical anesthetic cream makes the procedure more comfortable. ELA-MAX is applied 30-60 minutes before the procedure. There is no discomfort after treatments. Immediately following a treatment, the skin may appear red and flushed but these changes gradually fade over a period of hours to a few days. After the first session brown spots generally appear darker but lightens with the susequent sessions.
