Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photofacial Treatment Neaman Medi Spa | Salem, Oregon Also Servicing Surrounding Areas

IPL stands for intense pulsed light, and it is one of the easiest skincare treatments to receive at our luxurious spa located in Salem, OR.

People often suffer the annoyances of rosacea’s rash-like redness, the appearance of tiny red blood vessels upon their faces, the brown spots known as sunspots, and fine wrinkling. These are skin issues that IPL photofacial treatments can address.

What Is IPL Photofacial Treatment?

IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It is a cosmetic technology based on the use of wavelengths of light that reduces redness and impacts the signs of aging without the need for surgery. IPL serves as an ideal alternative to treatments that are more invasive.

During your treatment, the technician begins by cleaning the skin to be treated. A cooling gel is then applied to the area. You receive dark glasses to protect your eyes before the treatment begins. The treatment is not painful and therefore no anesthetic is necessary. Stinging or tingling sensations may occur; some patients compare this to the sensation of a rubber band being snapped against your skin.

How Long Is Each Treatment?

Treatment sessions typically last for a duration of 20 to 30 minutes. Afterward, you can continue your day as you normally would. The treatment area may have some redness and feel warm and there may also be some light swelling. All such effects should subside within a span of several days.

How IPL Photofacial Treatment Works

While other varieties of laser treatment utilize a single wavelength, IPL makes use of an assortment of different wavelengths of light. This results in a laser light that is not as focused, and that can target broader areas. IPL can address the entire chest, face, neck, or hands. IPL avoids excessively damaging the skin by penetrating the dermis’s second layer without damaging the top surface of the skin. In cases of acne, IPL oxygenates the skin’s pores and kills the bacteria responsible for the blemishes.

During IPL treatment, the cells of pigment that produce the color in your skin tone absorb light energy which is then converted into heat. The pigment cells which are being subjected to the increased heat will die. This removes the source of skin discoloration and provides new skin that lacks the previous blemish problems. Time puts its stamp on the skin due to aging, among other factors. Skin layers weaken; they can appear thin, rough, wrinkled, and blemished. IPL photo rejuvenation tackles these imperfections gently and safely.

With multiple treatments, the skin grows healthier and thicker, producing better results over time. IPL treatment rejuvenates the skin through several mechanisms. Pulses of light reach the deeper layers, initiating biological processes that repair damage and prevent signs of aging in the future. The skin’s superficial layer sloughs off and reveals young cells. Lastly, collagen growth stimulation makes your skin cells start to behave as though they are younger again by providing renewed elasticity and thickness.

Conditions That IPL Photofacial Treatments Treat

IPL treatments help a range of conditions that aesthetically impact the skin. One example is the permanent removal of unwanted hair. Other skin conditions that can be treated include:

Freckles
Rosacea
Spider veins
Birthmarks
Sun damage

When to Expect Results

After a single photofacial treatment you can expect healthier, younger-looking skin. Your age spots will actually darken first, then pass to the surface of the skin. There they fall away with the skin’s natural process of exfoliation. Pores decrease in size and the skin tightens as fine lines and wrinkles gradually decrease as well. It’s common for some of our patients to schedule three or four sessions throughout a year for optimal results.

At our beautiful spa in Salem, OR, we offer gentle and thorough IPL photofacial treatments to address the signs of aging, eliminate the signs of rosacea, tighten up crepey skin, and eliminate unwanted hair. Attend a consultation with one of our licensed providers to have your questions answered and to customize a treatment plan that will achieve your goals while fitting into your busy schedule.
