UNEVEN SKIN TONE
Uneven skin tone can occur for many reasons…accumulated sun damage and hormone fluctuations are two of the more common reasons. IPL therapy is a safe, gentle way to redefine and rejuvenate your skin. Although it can be used anywhere on the body without damaging the surface of the skin, the more typical areas for uneven skin tone are the face, neck, hands, chest or décolleté. Results are particularly effective when combined with a medical peel or aesthetic facial. Your clinician can determine which peel or facial would be best based on your skin.

WHAT TO EXPECT
IPL offers a non-invasive, non-ablative technique for achieving vibrant, even skin tone in both men and women. By penetrating to the deeper part of the skin (dermis) where collagen is produced, this intense light stimulates new collagen production while leaving the thin, outermost area of skin (epidermis) untouched. In addition, IPL seeks any pigment issue within the skin and draws the pigment to the surface of the skin. A couple of days after each treatment, the pigmented areas actually flake off giving you a more even skin tone, tighter pores and a smoother skin texture; fine lines and wrinkles will also be diminished. IPL treatments do not hurt; you may feel a “hot pinch” or “snapping” sensation that only lasts a fraction of a second. There is no down time. Treatments can even be done during your lunch hour and make-up can be applied before leaving the med-spa. Mild redness may occur and usually disappears within a few hours.
Because pigmented irregularities are being drawn towards the surface of your skin, you may notice that areas of uneven skin tone temporarily darken before they lighten. A series of 4 treatments is recommended for most people to achieve the best results. Treatments can be repeated every 3-4 weeks. Semi-annual maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain your more youthful, even skin tone.
