What is IPL skin treatment?
When you think about IPL treatments what comes to mind? Is it laser hair removal to get rid of unwanted hair on the face or body? For most people, this is their first thought. But IPL can do so much more than that.
IPL or intense pulsed light therapy is a safe and effective way to treat a number of common skin issues that both men and women face. it is an advanced light treatment that can help target and treat specific skin concerns, including:
- Rosacea
- Sun damage or age spots
- Sagging skin
- Lines and wrinkles
- Thread veins
- Skin pigmentation issues
- Acne
With a course of IPL skin treatments, you will see a more even skin tone and a visible improvement in the health and condition of your skin.
How do IPL skin rejuvenation treatments work in Leicester?
The IPL treatment works by using beams of light energy to target and remove red and brown pigmented skin cells or cells that are damaged.
The melanin in the damaged skin cells absorbs the light waves. This causes damage to the pigment (melanin) and breaks it down. This leads your skin to repair itself by removing the damaged melanin.
IPL also helps to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This helps to plump your skin and stop it from sagging, giving you a more youthful look.
During your treatment, the doctor will use a handheld device to deliver the light beans onto your skin. Your treatment session should take around 30 minutes, but this will depend on the area being treated and if you are having IPL in more than one area.
Most patients find the treatment to be relatively comfortable. You will feel a slight pinching sensation or what some describe as an elastic band hitting the skin. This only lasts while the laser is on the skin.
How many IPL skin rejuvenation treatments will I need?
You will start to see small improvements in your skin after your first treatment. However, to see the best results your doctor will recommend at least three treatment sessions.
The number of IPL sessions you will need will depend on what skin concern we are treating. If you have sun damage or pigmentation issues, you will need more treatments to break down the damaged cells and remove them.
Are there any side effects from IPL?
After your IPL treatment, the skin in the treated area will look red and feel sensitive. This should only last for a few hours, but in some cases, it can take a day or two to go away.
You can ease this by applying a cooling gel or cooling packs to the area. We also advise wearing a strong sun protection of factor 50 to protect your skin while you are outside.
You may also see your pigmented skin becoming darker. This is normal and will only be temporary. This will start to fade away over the following few weeks.
