When will I see results?

You can expect to see a gradual decrease in overall redness, flushing and dilated capillaries. People with visible aging from the sun can expect to see their skin become smoother with a decrease in fine wrinkles, reduction in pore size and fading of sunspots. Many patients with rosacea see improvement in breakouts and are able to decrease or discontinue their medications.
After your first treatment, your skin will feel smoother and will have more even tone. Improvement is gradual and will continue to be more visible after each treatment. Many individuals experience dramatic results only after 1-2 treatments; however, 4-6 treatments are performed for optimal results. Some patients will benefit from additional treatments depending on the specific condition being treated and desired results.

Rosacea responsive to intense pulsed light therapy

MedWire News: Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy provides significant improvements in erythema and telangiectasia in patients with rosacea, say researchers in the UK, with results sustained for at least 6 months.
William Clayton (Royal Free Hospital, London) and colleagues conducted a phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy of IPL therapy in the treatment of 34 patients (25 female; mean age 47 years) with stage I erythematotelangiectatic rosacea.
Four treatments were administered on the face at 3-week intervals, using IPL 515-1200 nm, with a 560 nm cutoff filter. The fluence range was 24-32 J/cm2.
Significant reductions from baseline were achieved after the four treatments. The mean reductions in erythema values were 39% on the cheeks and 22% on the chin. Photographic assessment confirmed this, with a 46% improvement in erythema and a 55% improvement in telangiectasia.
The severity of rosacea was reduced from 7.3 points on a 10-poinnt visual analog scale at baseline to 3.8 points at the end of treatment.
The overall improvement in rosacea was assessed by both patients and physicians, with 73% of patients and 83% of physicians noticing a more than 50% improvement.
Writing in the British Journal of Dermatology, the researchers note that all of the results were sustained 6 months after the last treatment.
Adverse events were uncommon and self-limiting, with occasional bruising lasting for less than 1 week or edema lasting for 2-5 days. One patient discontinued treatment due to edema and crusting on the cheeks, but this resolved after 10 days.
The researchers conclude that IPL "significantly reduces erythema and telangiectasia with minimal unwanted effects, and results in high patient satisfaction."

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

IPL is not a laser but is a powerful light source that is used for skin rejuvenation and has the ability to penetrate the skin with minimal skin damage. Like the laser, it works by filtering various wavelengths of light to react with specific skin conditions. IPL has been shown to help improve the appearance of red and brown skin discolorations, birthmarks and symptoms of rosacea, as well as to tighten and refine the appearance of the skin. This process is also known as photorejuvenation or photofacial. It has also become popular for removal of vascular lesions (broken blood vessels, etc.) as well as removal of hair on lighter skin types and even removal of some tattoos. IPL is truly a non-invasive procedure and is among the group of no-downtime skin treatments, which have become widely known as “lunchtime” procedures.

What is IPL Photorejuvenation?

IPL is a technology used to restore the skin's youthful appearance and to stimulate the skin collagen renewal from within the skin.

Photorejuvenation is a non ablative process, which generates intense pulsed light to safely reduce the melanin (dark pigment) in the skin, so that pigmented lesions fade and slowly disappear.

This results in a more radiant and youthful skin.

The treatment is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because it requires no downtime.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation

IPL is used to remove broken veins from the face, calm the redness of acne rosacea, fade sun spots and pigmentation caused by sun damage and can be used to rejuvenate the skin by activating the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin leaving the skin firmer and smoother.

Intense pulsed light

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), is most commonly employed by medical practitioners and aestheticians working under the guidance of a physician, is a method of hair removal from the body involving the use of a specially constructed xenon flash lamp and focusing optics.
The Intense Pulsed Light hair removal process has become very popular due to its cheaper and faster procedure compared to laser hair removal, which is often more costly and time consuming. The comparison of effectiveness between Intense Pulsed Light and Laser Epilation is debated by scientists, equipment manufacturers and practitioners, but results are generally accepted to be roughly equivalent. IPL is generally advertised as "permanent hair reduction" as opposed to "permanent hair removal" (these phrases are misnomers when applied to laser or IPL hair removal). It is also used for the treatment of the skin in a process known as photorejuvenation.
Hair removal mechanics: The focused, broad-spectrum light is applied to the surface of the skin by way of either a hand-held wand, or by an articulated arm. The intense light travels through the tissue of the skin until it strikes the hair shafts or the bulb (root) of the hair. The bulb is usually where the highest concentration of melanin is located, as opposed to the rest of the hair shaft. The light is converted to heat energy. The bulb and most of the hair shaft are instantly vaporized. The intense heat radiated by the hair also destroys the hair-producing papilla or the entire hair follicle. It is also claimed that direct light-heat conversion occurs directly in the darker colored capilaries that bring nourishing blood to the follicle.
IPL technology is also employed in the treatment of medical disorders of the skin including sun damage induced dyspigmentation and vascular changes; poikiloderma of Civatte; acne Rosacea; broken capillaries/telangiectases; vascular and pigmented birth marks. In terms of rosacea, IPL offers one of the few effective treatments to relieve the facial redness associated with the disorder. Such treatment is best administered by a specialist dermatologist. This new technology incorporates 'dual mode filtering' and other important advances which result in safer and more effective treatment than the older systems; which were initially designed for simple processes such as hair removal.
The pulses of light produced by IPL equipment are very short in duration, so discomfort and damage to non-target tissues is minor. Most people who undergo IPL epilation only experience slight irritation similar to that of a minor sunburn though under certain circumstances, blisters may occur. Men undergoing the procedure experience greater discomfort as male body hair is generally thicker than women's. Depending on the instrument settings and intensity, treating sensitive areas such as the chest and face can result in pain comparable to waxing the same areas; however this pain dissipates immediately. The light that emanates from the IPL wand is filtered to remove any ultraviolet components, eliminating the possibility of UV skin damage.

What is IPL acne treatment?

One of the more exciting treatment options with the IPL or Intense Pulsed Light machine these days is its treatment within the acne regimen. Now for many years the only way acne was treated was with topical agents or with Accutane. More recently, and with the development of the Intense Pulsed Light machine, acne is now treated by IPL treatments. How does it work? Specifically the IPL targets the sebaceous gland where the oil is secreted and really just zaps that area. By getting rid of the sebaceous glands and the oil, obviously the acne is diminished. Now, it's not going to permanently get rid of all of the acne glands. It probably lasts about three or four months, but for patients that either have adult acne or don't want to take Accutane it's a nice treatment that we can offer now.

What is "Intense Pulsed Light" (IPL)?

IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light is similar to a laser, but it has some noticeable differences. First of all, a laser usually specifics one type of area whether it be skin, or blood, or water. The Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL targets many different parts of the body, and can be used effectively in different cases such as hair removal, photo facials, or even taking care of small spider veins. The IPL machine is used very commonly in a Medi-Spa, and there are a variety of reasons why. One, it's safe, effective, and has many uses, and two, depending on your state, sometimes a doctor is not required to actually use the IPL machine. That's different to a laser. In many states if you're going to have laser machines, or any laser treatments, they need to be done by the physician. In many states, with the IPL machine, because it's not considered an actual laser, the treatments can be performed by either an aesthetician or someone else in the spa.
