What You Need to Know:

What is the difference between an IPL Skin Rejuvenation procedure and other anti-aging treatments like chemical peels?

Chemical Peels treat dull skin by exfoliating the surface by a change in pH and encouraging collage production to help reduce fine lines & wrinkles. After a series of chemical peels pigment discolorations are less noticeable, acne scars soften and skin appears polished and smoother. Regular maintenance must occur or skin improvements will disappear after time.

Intense Pulsed Light devices pass varying strengths of light into the skin and damaged skin cells absorb the light energy and convert it to heat. The light source is concentrated to target its energy into the dermis to treat discolorations, unsightly facial veins, redness and provide an overall rejuvenated effect to your skin. These types of devices repair and improve a wide array of cosmetic concerns with meaningful results over a short time period.

What is the difference between Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation and other procedures such as the Pixel?

Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation uses a concentrated light source to target power deep down into the dermis without injuring the surface of the skin, to improve a range of cosmetic concerns including: discolorations, unsightly veins, and redness. IPL®/BBL® Skin Rejuvenation has the added benefit of providing an overall "rejuvenated" effect to the skin. Because the surface layers of the skin remain intact there is minimal downtime, less risk and discomfort than more powerful treatments such as the Pixel. Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation is used to successfully treat a wide array of cosmetic concerns. Individuals with fine lines & wrinkles, deeper lines, crepey skin, discoloration and uneven texture or tone should consider a Pixel procedure or a combination treatment such as Laser360.. The Pixel uses the power of heat and light in a pattern of targeted laser beams to remove and resurface the skin. A Pixel or Laser360 can provide dramatic results in resurfacing the skin to diminish wrinkles, discolorations and other surface irregularities along with improving the overall texture and tone of skin. Removing the surface layers requires downtime for the skin to crust over, shed and fully hea. It is important to discuss the pros and cons of each treatment option with a Skin Specialist in order to determine which procedure is right for you.
