IPL Skin Revitalization West Palm Beach & Palm Beach Gardens, FL

IPL skin revitalization offers a gentle, non-invasive solution to reveal a more radiant, even complexion.

What IPL Skin Revitalization Treats

Uneven skin tone is a common aesthetic problem we all notice as we age, especially if we have an active lifestyle out in the sun. After years of unprotected sun exposure, you will notice brown spots, freckles, and sunspots. You may also notice unwanted vessels around your nose or rosacea on your cheeks. These common concerns can now be removed, and you can reveal your glowing complexion with IPL skin revitalization.

Skin revitalization is ideal for reducing the appearance of pigment on your face, chest, or hands, including age spots, sun damage, freckles, or birthmarks. It is also the perfect solution for unwanted vessels on your face, including spider veins, broken vessels, or rosacea (redness/flushing of the cheeks). In just a few quick treatment sessions, you will see a reduction in the appearance of brown spots and vessels, leaving you with a more even skin tone and beautiful-looking skin.

How Does IPL Skin Revitalization Work?

ICON™ utilizes optimized pulsed light technology, which, unlike lasers, uses many wavelengths of light with special filters that deliver the best wavelengths to treat specific aesthetic conditions. As the handpiece glides over the area being treated, specialized pulses of light are delivered into your skin and target brown spots, sun damage, and vessels without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Once these targets absorb the energy, they are destroyed and will slowly disappear through your body’s natural healing process. You will see your brown spots turn darker in color and flake off over the next few weeks. You may also see an immediate improvement in your vessels with continued clearance over the next few weeks.

What Should I Expect During The Treatment?

Before the optimized pulsed light handpiece is used, a gel is applied to your skin, where you will receive treatment. You will also be provided eye shields to protect yourself from the light during treatment. The treatment will begin with the provider guiding the ICON™ handpiece over the treatment area. You will feel cooling while the handpiece is gliding over the treatment area to provide a comfortable session.

You may also feel a slight rubber-band-like snapping when the energy is being delivered into your skin, which disappears almost immediately; however, a warm sensation after the treatment is common. Depending on the size of the area, treatments can take just minutes. After the treatment, the gel will be removed and a cooling gel may be applied to your skin. Bandages and ointments are not necessary due to the nature of the treatments being so minimally invasive.

For a few days after your treatment, you may feel like you have a mild sunburn but can resume your normal day-to-day activities immediately following treatment. If you are a laser skin revitalization patient, please remove all make-up and lotions prior to treatment. At least four weeks before your appointment, please discontinue unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, and tanning creams in the areas receiving treatment.

What Are The Post Treatment Instructions?

Immediately after the treatment, it is common to feel a mild sunburn-like sensation around the treatment site, which typically lasts 2-24 hours. Redness and/or swelling may accompany this and usually resolves in 2-3 days. Avoid sun exposure on the treated area and use a sunscreen SPF 45 or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment. The pigment may initially look raised/darker with a reddened perimeter. The pigment will gradually turn darker over the next few days and begin crusting and eventually flaking off of the skin from day 7-21. The vessels may undergo immediate graying or blanching, or they may exhibit a slight purple or red color change. The vessels will fully or partially fade in about 10-14 days.
