Laser and light treatments can have wonderful effects on the skin. One type of laser treatment that combats sun damaged and aging skin is intense pulsed light, or IPL photofacial. This type of light treatment uses light to target damaged or darker skin cells, improving the tone and appearance of the skin. At LL Aesthetics, we provide IPL photofacial treatments with the Lumecca device at our facility in Miami Beach, FL.
IPL Photofacial uses calibrated light waves to target darker pigmented flaws in the skin. The light heats the skin and draws the targeted skin cells to the surface. Lumecca IPL treatments do not damage the skin like some more invasive laser treatments – only the darker skin cells flake away after the treatment is performed, not the entire skin surface. This skin rejuvenation procedure can be performed in less than 30 minutes in most cases. Common areas treated include the face, neck, chest, legs and hands. No downtime is needed after the procedures.
Skin Photorejuvenation
IPL treatments are an excellent option for those with sun damage, spider veins, age spots, freckles or other discolorations. The light energy is used to target and remove darker pigments in the skin. IPL also stimulates collagen production to repair the skin, resulting in firmer, smoother skin. The treatments are not painful – a cooling gel is applied to the skin before the treatment to ensure the procedure is comfortable for our patients.
Most patients will require at least two IPL sessions to achieve the desired results. After each session, dark spots or spider veins become less visible and the skin appearance improves. As the skin heals, the surface has better tone and texture for a more youthful look. Many patients notice smaller pores and an improved overall appearance for their skin, as well as removal of unwanted freckles, dark spots and spider veins.
If you have sun damaged skin, fine lines, age spots or spider veins, Lumecca IPL photofacial treatment may be the solution. To learn more about intense pulsed light photorejuvenation, come see us at LL Aesthetics. Contact our Miami Beach, FL office, to schedule an IPL treatment consultation.
