What Is IPL?

A photofacial with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)is a treatment that rejuvenates the skin for adult women and men with hyperpigmentation concerns on their face and neck but can also be applied to other areas of the body such as the back and arms. IPL may be a noninvasive procedure, but it can be highly effective and create impressive results. The Harmony XL-PRO laser sends intense wavelengths of light that warm the skin cells to ignite the natural healing process and boost collagen production. In time, you should see a healthier layer with a more even tone and decreased spots.

Dye-VL, which stands for Dye-Variable Light is a type of intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment used for various skin conditions, including pigmentation irregularities, vascular lesions, and certain signs of aging. Dye-VL utilizes IPL technology which emits a broad spectrum of light wavelengths that target specific chromophores in the skin. This includes melanin (responsible for pigmentation) and hemoglobin (found in blood vessels), among others. The treatment works by heating and destroying these target structures, leading to the gradual improvement of skin concerns such as sunspots, age spots, rosacea, and spider veins.

If you are bothered by how your skin looks because of sun damage or dark spots, Dr. Katherine Bell at Be You Med Spa & Wellness can perform a skin analysis at our Dyer, IN office to see if you could benefit from intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy

What to Expect from A Photofacial

There is no recovery time associated with an IPL photofacial. You will leave our office with your complexion a little pink. This will subside on its own as the day continues. After several days, the irregularities under the skin will come to the surface and start flaking off. It is crucial to keep your skin protected with sunscreen as often as possible after a photofacial treatment and to not pick at your skin while it heals. While you will see visible improvements after the first treatment, your skin will attain ideal results with multiple IPL photofacial sessions. Dr. Bell usually recommends approximately 3 – 6 treatments done around once a month at Be You Med Spa & Wellness.
