(You hear about the "new technology" fractional or Fraxel. It is really old CO2 technology with about 20% power to aviod much of the downtime but with the higher price. Why pay twice the price for something that does not work better. Always make sure you get a spot test before your tinitial treatments)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) skin treatments using the photo-rejuvenation process represent a breakthrough in age-defying skin care. This new technique treats skin damage non-invasively - there is no disruption of the skin's epidermal surface. IPL treatments address the effects of photo-aging and sun damage with low risk of complications and no recovery time.

At CFAA, we use a combination of therapies to get the optimal results. We use a combination of IPL treatments, Dermafile, Chemical Peels and cutting edge skin care products. By using this approach, we get a much better result than other specialists in the area.

Many companies are now promoting Fraxel (Fractional) which is basically a CO2 laser with approximately 80% of the power blocked to reduce the client's downtime from 45 days to 14 days. With this scaled down treatment, it would take 7-9 treatments to work the entire area and get the results we can achieve in 4-5 treatments. The CFAA Total Skin Metamorphosis is about 1/2 the price!

IPL is the gold standard for photo-rejuvenation. This FDA-cleared, patented technology provides dramatic results for a variety of benign conditions, including age spots, sun-induced freckles, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, acne scarring and other blemishes - even unwanted hair.

Laser resurfacing and deep chemical peels often send patients into hiding, as they wait for redness and swelling to subside. Microdermabrasion addresses skin irregularities, but is not effective against all complexion problems including redness, flushing and broken capillaries.

Typical Treatments

There are an overwhelming number of options available to improve the skin's appearance, from creams and peels to microdermabrasion and laser treatments.

IPL Skin Treatments using Photo-rejuvenation offers a solution that:

  • Addresses skin conditions that are most visible

  • Treats the entire face, not only small spots

  • Causes little discomfort

  • Offers an immediate return to routine activities

  • Provides gradual, natural-looking improvement

  • Produces long-lasting results

Photo-rejuvenation with IPL is the most versatile of all treatment options. Patients often schedule appointments during their lunch hours. IPL can treat numerous skin conditions at once. It is effective on red blemishes that originate from blood vessels, as well as brown pigment blemishes in the form of freckles, age spots and other sun damage. IPL also treats the neck, chest and hands, where sun damage is often most visible.

Getting Started

During the consultation a IPL treatment plan is determined, accounting for the number and severity of skin conditions being treated, as well as skin type. On average, four to six treatments are recommended, scheduled at three-week intervals. Each session usually lasts about 20 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately afterwards. IPL treatments provide gradual, natural improvement with excellent long-term results.
 

IPL™ at Work

Red blemishes from broken blood vessels and brown spots of pigment from sun damage respond to Intense Pulsed Light.  The light is changed to heat energy as it reaches to the level of the collagen beneath the skin surface.
 

What to Expect

Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the areas to be treated and patients wear protective eyewear. During treatment the smooth, glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to the skin. Light is delivered to the skin surface in precise pulses that are typically pain-free. Occasionally some signs of treatment, such as redness, can last for one or two hours. In most cases, the entire face is treated, but the therapy can also work well on the neck, chest and hands. Results from a full series of treatments usually last for a year or more.

IPL treats the damaged superficial layer of the skin, while delivering thermal energy to deeper tissue. Clinical studies are now underway to quantify the effect this energy has on collagen production, which helps firm and tighten the skin.
