Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for Photo Facial Connecticut

IPL Photo Facial Overview

Some people are born with skin conditions like hyper-pigmentation or large pores, others are born with Rosacea marks. Some people spend a lot of time at the shore in summer and on the slopes in winter exposing their skin to continual sun damage. Still others find that time shows its hands readily on their skin. Each of these skin conditions has an ally in IPL Photo Facial treatments offered at Imperial Plastic Surgery in Westport, Connecticut.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photo Facial treatments allow Connecticut plastic surgeon, Dr. Singer, to treat targeted areas with the exact amount of light necessary to reduce discoloration, tighten pores, and diminish sun damage and to stall the effects of time by eliminating fine lines and wrinkles. IPL Photo Facials are also highly beneficial for reducing the intensity of Rosacea marks by up to 90% of their original color. IPL Photo Facial can also be used on the hands, neck, arms, legs and torso.

IPL Photo Facial treatments use intense pulses of light to penetrate and heat the tissues beneath the skin destroying damaged cells while leaving healthy cells in tact. The additional benefit of IPL treatments is the stimulation of your skin's natural collagen production which enhances the appearance of your skin.

IPL Photo Facials take less than an hour, and with our office conveniently located between the 15 and 95 freeways in Westport, we can fit your treatments into any busy schedule. Usually 4 to 6 IPL Photo Facials are recommended for complete treatment. Facials can be scheduled between 3 to 4 weeks apart.

Immediately following your IPL Photo Facial, your skin may appear flush at the treatment site. Coloration may appear darker and you may have some swelling for a day or two. As these effects fade, you will see more even skin tones, smoother skin, and you will feel the texture firming even after your first treatment.

Since IPL treatments are computer controlled and target areas specified for depth and intensity of treatment, there is virtually no risk of damage to healthy skin. Discomfort is minimal, and if necessary, a topical anesthetic may be used.

Downtime is not necessary, and normal activities can be resumed after treatment. However, if there is swelling, Dr. Singer recommends staying out of the elements. It is very important to protect treated skin and to wear sun screen after treatment.
