IPL Photo Facial Skin Rejuvenation
Safe, Effective, Anti-Aging Treatment in Port Credit, Mississauga
Photofacial or IPL Laser Treatment (intense pulse light) is a very effective and safe anti-aging treatment option for sun-damaged or aged skin offered at Allura Skin & Laser Centre in Port Credit, Mississauga.
How does IPL Work?
IPL (intense pulsed light) is a non-invasive treatment used for skin rejuvenation. It emits multiple wavelengths of light energy which are absorbed by chromophores in the skin such as melanin, hemoglobin and water. Once the chromophores absorb the light energy, it is converted into heat. The heat selectively destroys target cells such as melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) or blood vessel walls (vascular lesions). Based on the broad spectrum of light, IPL can treat a wide range of skin concerns with no downtime or side effects.
Results Visible From The First Treatment
The number of treatments required depends on the specific condition being treated as well as results desired. IPL is recommended in a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. When IPL Photofacial is performed by our experienced hands, you can enjoy results from the very first treatment.
