IPL Reduces the Irregular Discoloration of the skin caused by Sun Damage and Age Spots
Chronic sun damage causes irregular brown and red discoloration of the skin. These ” sun spots” and “broken capillaries” are in the surface of the skin and make the skin look old. IPL reduces these discolorations and makes the skin tone more even and bright. It does this by heating up the structures that hold the color, damaging or destroying the blood vessel or the “sun spot”.
The process is called Selective Photo – Thermo – Lysis
Selective because it targets the color we don’t like – the chromophore; Photo because it uses light energy to heat up (Thermo) the color; So that the heat damages or destroys (Lysis) the structure holding the color or chromophore.
The result is a more even skin color – even without makeup.
Is there any downtime?
The recovery from an IPL treatment depends on the patient and on the aggressiveness of the treatment. Some patients react to almost any stimulus with a blush or red response. These people can expect to be red – either mottled or diffused like a sunburn – for a few hours after a treatment. The red response goes away quickly and can be covered with makeup until it resolves.
