IPL Photo Rejuvenation Tucson
IPL Intense Pulsed Light | IPL Photofacial | IPL Treatment
A Photofacial treatment is a series of gentle intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments developed to improve the appearance of sun damaged and aged skin, as well as reduce redness and flushing, resulting in more youthful-looking skin. Photofacial treatments consistently and predictably improve the texture, tone and color of the skin with little to no down time. IPL also stimulates the growth of collagen, decreases pore size and gives skin a youthful appearance.
A Photofacial's short treatment time, quick effects and lack of downtime
make it popular. A Photofacial gives skin a healthy, youthful look and
decreases the appearance of blemishes such as brown spots and redness
from rosacea. Noticeable results appear after the first few treatments. A session lasts about a half an hour. The effects of a Photofacial can be permanent if the skin is well cared for.
Instructions for before treatment:
Discontinue use of Accutane® for six months, Retin-A® for two weeks and glycolic acid and alpha-hydroxy acid products for a week before your treatment. Avoid sun and sunless tanning for four weeks. Do not take aspirin or other blood thinners for at least three days before your treatment. You cannot be treated while you have infections or sores in the area.
Instructions for after treatment:
Protect your skin with moisturizers and sunscreen. Cold compresses and steroid creams may be used as necessary. Avoid irritating your skin, and keep away from the sun and sunless tanners for a couple of weeks.
