What is IPL?

IPL is a cosmetic therapy that uses light energy to enhance the tone and texture of skin. IPL sessions can also address a range of skin conditions, including hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores, to improve your appearance.

Treatment involves sending pulses of broad-spectrum light into the deeper layers of skin tissue. The light energy converts to heat to break down scar tissue and excess pigments (melanin) to improve the health and appearance of skin tissue.

IPL treatments also trigger an increased production of collagen, an essential protein necessary for healthy skin. New collagen growth plumps skin in the treatment area to minimize the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and other age-related skin issues.

VIP Health Family Clinic offers in-office IPL treatments for adults who want to enhance their skin health without invasive procedures. Annysue and the experienced team use the latest IPL technologies to achieve optimal results that last.

Which conditions can IPL treat?

The IPL treatments available at VIP Health Family Clinic are beneficial for treating issues like:

• Acne
• Scars
• Rosacea
• Age spots
• Freckles and sunspots

You might also be a candidate for IPL treatments if you have broken blood vessels that are visible beneath the surface of your skin.

In addition to treating facial skin, Annysue and the team can use IPL technology on other areas of the body, including the back, chest, underarms, and bikini line. The light energy is strong enough to break down hyperpigmented skin cells and scar tissue without damaging healthy skin.

What can I expect during my initial IPL session?

During your first IPL session at VIP Health Family Clinic, your provider positions a handheld device on the surface of your skin that delivers light energy into the tissue. The energy pulses may cause a slight stinging or burning sensation that most people tolerate well without an anesthetic.

IPL energy can initially cause skin redness, dryness, and irritation, so your results may not be apparent right away. As your skin heals, new collagen growth helps to tighten the treatment area, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.

You might need a series of IPL treatments scheduled about a month apart to fully address hyperpigmentation and other issues.
