I.P.L. Photo-Rejuvenation

What Body Areas Can I Get Treated?

Any area, except around the eyes. The underarms, legs, back, bikini line, face, neck, etc.. can all be treated quickly and safely.

What are the treatment sessions like?

Quick and easy! After your initial preparation, your treatment provider will move the Palomar pulsed light handpiece over your skin. The handpiece emits a light that breaks up the pigment in the lesions. Most people perceive the light as a gentle "snapping" sensation, which causes little to no discomfort.

What should I expect after treatment?

Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment, and then fade away after about 10-14 days. Vessels (visible veins) generally undergo immediate greying or blanching and then the surrounding area may redden. The vessels then fade after about 10-14 days.

Most people experience some mild temporary redness and swelling, similar to sunburn in the treated area shortly after treatment. This does not interfere with normal activities and usually subsides within a day. In some cases, the redness may last longer, but will still be mild and temporary. Your treatment provider will explain other, less likely side effects to you.

What is the difference between pulsed light treatment and laser treatments?

Pulsed light systems and lasers are very similar and treat lesions in basically the same way. However, the pulsed light process use a new technology that removes lesions much faster than lasers. Pulsed light treatments can fit even the busiest persons schedule.
