IPL Laser Treatments

IPL treatments are effective for a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Sun damage and age spots.
• Redness caused by rosacea.
• Broken capillaries and visible veins.
• Uneven skin tone or texture.
• Fine lines and early signs of aging.

During an IPL treatment, pulses of light are directed at the skin, targeting specific pigments like melanin (responsible for dark spots) or hemoglobin (responsible for redness). These pigments absorb the light energy, which causes them to break down naturally. Over time, the body eliminates the damaged pigment, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin.

1. Consultation: Dr. Gay or a trained specialist evaluates your skin concerns and determines if IPL is the best treatment for your goals.
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a cooling gel is applied to enhance comfort.
3. Treatment: Pulses of light are delivered to the targeted areas, with the session typically lasting 20-30 minutes.

IPL is safe and effective for most skin types, though it may not be suitable for darker skin tones or deeply tanned skin.

Recovery from IPL is minimal. You may experience temporary redness, swelling, or a mild sunburn-like sensation, which usually resolves within a few hours to a few days. Dark spots may darken temporarily before flaking off, revealing clearer skin underneath. One should avoid direct sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect your results.
