IPL/Photofacials/PDT

Over time, the effect of excessive sun exposure can result in damage to the skin, including pigmentation concerns such as age spots and brown spots. Additionally, patients may also experience rough patches of skin and increased redness that worsens with age. As aging occurs, the skin loses the vibrant, healthy glow it once had, and natural hydration is reduced, causing the skin to look much older. Thankfully, it is never too late to save the skin from the damage caused by the sun. Many skin rejuvenation solutions are available at Foothill Dermatology Medical Center, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of youthful, healthy skin.
One way patients can attain that rejuvenated appearance is with the use of IPL/photofacials. Using our Ellipse IPL treatment, patients can experience skin rejuvenation like never before. IPL, “Intense Pulsed Light,” is a method of treating the skin with short, safe bursts of light delivered by a specialized flash lamp hand piece. This technology is very advanced, and can provide amazing results for patients of all ages who want skin with even pigmentation, less redness, and improved texture.
Many patients ask Dr. Sidhu about the difference between laser treatments and IPL treatments. IPL and laser light work in the same method using light wavelengths that are absorbed by the skin. However, IPL uses a band of wavelengths for treatment, while laser light uses one specific wavelength.
Patients who are the best candidates for treatment are those who have lighter skin tones. This is because of the strength of light absorption. Patients should not be tanned before treatment. Though the Ellipse IPL can be adjusted from the pre-programmed settings for skin of different colors, the best results are seen on fair-skinned patients.
Treatment is fast, and patients do not require anesthetics during the procedure. Many experience a warming sensation on the skin, and most patients describe being very comfortable throughout the treatment. After treatment, an ice pack can be used for sensitive skin, and patients should reduce sun exposure or wear a high SPF broadband sunscreen before heading outside for the day. Skin may immediately appear discolored and red, but over several days, it will improve and patients will notice more youthful, evenly toned skin that is smooth, soft, and beautiful!
