What Is Intense Pulse Light Therapy

Intense Pulse Light Therapy, also known as IPL, is the perfect remedy for those suffering from aging skin and do not want to go through invasive treatments to regain their youthful appearance.  IPL treatments use the photo rejuvenation process, which is a new method in the skin care industry.  This technique is used to treat age spots, freckles, sun damage, rosacea, birthmarks, spider veins, acne scars, and to some degree, unwanted hair. 

The process of Intense Pulse Light Therapy is a relatively simple one.  A gel is first applied to the area needing treatment.  The IPL hand piece is then placed to the skin’s surface and the piece will pulse light and energy into the area being treated.  A computer system controls the light wavelengths, usually producing little or no discomfort during the process.  In some cases, the light causes a stinging sensation, which very few people need to regulate with a topical anesthetic. 

The entire session takes approximately fifteen to twenty minutes and requires no preparation or recovery.  Depending on the specific case and condition of the patient, several sessions (typically four to six) will be needed to achieve satisfactory results. Most techniques yielding these excellent results are far more invasive and produce redness and swelling following the treatment.  With New Jersey Intense Pulse Light Therapy, you gain the excellent results without the hassle.
