Photofacials the promising antiaging skin care modality

High Intensity Pulsed Light or Intense Pulsed Light Therapy is a promising new anti-ageing skin care procedure which is automated with help of a computer. Growing numbers of dermatologists are now using intense light photofacial therapy instead of lasers to smooth and soothe various facial problems.

It is a phenomenal new mini-procedure which offers a range of benefits. It is able to delete fine-to-moderate lines and wrinkles, remove unwanted facial hair, and erase a whole array of pigment problems, including sunspots or brown sun blotches. According to some dermatologists the technique helps to tighten up large pores. The benefits can be summarized as:

• Removal of diminishing age/liver spots 
• Removal of fine wrinkles (rhytids) 
• Removal of Rosacea 
• Reduction of pore size 
• Removal of facial flushing and redness 
• Healing broken capillaries (telangiectasia the purple or blue veins on the face) 
• Removal of hemangiomas (sacs of red, purple or blue blood vessels) 
• Removal of freckles, minor sun damage, sun blotches 
• Removal of port wine stains, tattoos, and birth marks 
• Removal of varicose veins, spider veins and hypo-pigmentation 
• Hair Removal 

Without any downtime or formation of blisters, the photofacials with Intense Pulsed Light Therapy gives you the benefits of a medium depth laser or medium depth chemical peel

Unlike lasers that use one continuous light wavelength, the IPL treatment uses multiple wavelengths of light that enter the skin to concentrate their energy at different levels. Without requiring much post operative care, the therapy is truly a lunchtime therapy for skin rejuvenation. IPL treatment also won FDA approval for hair removal five years ago.

In the past few years, dermatologists have discovered many more uses for this technology, making use of the multiple wavelengths that are processed through the computer to gernerate specific settings for suited to skin color, body area, skin type.
