What is an IPL photo facial?

IPL photo facials use cutting-edge techniques to improve your skin’s appearance. This noninvasive treatment sends out high-intensity light pulses that penetrate your skin’s deeper layers. It has the following effects:

• Destroys imperfections
• Promotes tissue regeneration
• Triggers natural healing
• Promotes collagen production
• Aids in damaged skin removal

Unlike lasers, which target skin blemishes with singular light wavelengths, IPL uses a broader spectrum. That means it can target multiple skin conditions at once.

What can an IPL photo facial treat?

IPL photo facial treatments are effective for many common skin blemishes, including:

• Rosacea
• Acne
• Sun or age spots
• Broken blood vessels
• Birthmarks
• Stretch marks
• Dark spots caused by hormonal changes
• Discoloration
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Freckles
• Scars
• Spider veins

Brunswick Internal Medicine uses the Alma Harmony® XL PRO system, which is especially effective against rosacea and vascular lesions.

Rosacea

Rosacea is a widespread skin condition that causes excessive facial redness and visible blood vessels. Some people also develop red bumps. It’s not dangerous, but rosacea can cause significant embarrassment and reduce self-esteem.

Vascular lesions

Vascular lesions affect the blood vessels. The most common are spider veins (telangiectasia), networks of delicate red, blue, or purple veins that form a spider web-like pattern.

How does IPL photo facial technology work?

The Alma Harmony XL PRO system’s complete skin renewal treatment features advanced DYE VL (vascular lesions) technology, which far exceeds the capabilities of traditional IPL photo facial treatments.

DYE VL targets the hemoglobin in your vascular system. The device transmits precise beams of light energy that the abnormal blood vessels absorb. The light damages abnormal blood vessel structure without harming healthy surrounding tissue.

What happens at an IPL photo facial treatment?

During IPL photo facial treatment, your Brunswick Internal Medicine provider passes the Harmony XL PRO DYE VL device over your skin, allowing the light to enter your tissues. The device employs a cooling technology to ensure the procedure causes no discomfort.

IPL photo facials are virtually painless. They require minimal downtime and produce impressively long-lasting results. Treatment sessions typically last about 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area’s size.

Most patients notice improvements in their skin after a single session. However, Brunswick Internal Medicine recommends up to four sessions at four-week intervals for optimal results.
