Patients who have sun damaged skin and want to improve the skin’s overall texture and tone may be unsure as to the best treatment options for their unique needs and specific situation. It is always a great idea to book an appointment with the doctors at Remington Laser Dermatology Centre of Calgary, AB to discuss the best choice. In many cases, Drs. Todd and Kent Remington may recommend IPL treatment.
What does IPL stand for?
IPL is an acronym for “intense pulsed light.” This light-based therapy can penetrate deep into the skin and help reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, acne, rosacea, and even fine lines and wrinkles. Most patients who undergo IPL treatments will find that their skin’s texture and tone is even and redness is addressed after just one session. Many patients use IPL on a regular basis, spacing treatments weeks apart, to continually improve their skin’s appearance and health.
What can I expect from IPL treatment?
IPL is a treatment that is commonly done without anesthetics or sedation as it is relatively comfortable for many of our patients. The treatment is done right in our office under the care of a trained physician, and is performed in less than 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. Patients can book several sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart initially until results are achieved after about 4-6 sessions. After that, patients often book appointments every few months for maintenance and touchups.
IPL treatment does not require patients to have any downtime, unlike more aggressive treatments such as chemical peels or laser therapies. This makes it an easy procedure to have done during a lunch break, allowing for immediate return to work, school, and other activities. Patients are often excited to see the results they achieve with this treatment, and come back for routine services at Remington Laser Dermatology Centre to maintain the healthy, beautiful skin they’ve achieved!
