Photofacial

The Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), or the photofacial, utilizes pulsed light to safely treat sun damage, age spots, blood vessels, and unwanted freckles. The IPL sends light through the skin, targeting undesirable tissue, leaving the surface layers of the skin undamaged.  The process is more gradual and therefore gentler than traditional laser therapies.  IPL targets brown or red skin cells and destroys them while leaving the surrounding cells unharmed.  The number of treatments depends on the color of the skin and the color of the skin lesions.  During this process, it is believed that collagen and elastic bundles in the skin are stimulated, therefore rejuvenating the skin.  The result is younger, healthier looking skin.
