Get New and Improved Skin with the Lumenis M22 IPL

Intense Pulsed Light or IPL is a light therapy used to treat unwanted hair, wrinkles, and skin discoloration. It works by producing high-intensity light in a short period of time. Unlike a laser, IPL uses many different wavelengths of light that’s scattered and less focused. If you’re looking to improve the overall appearance of your skin, consider photo rejuvenation.

How Does It Work?

The Lumenis M22 IPL works by penetrating the dermis layer of the skin to create heat. The heat creates small controlled wounds called micro-injuries. When the wound heals, the body removes damaged blood vessels and old skin cells, replacing them with healthier, more desirable cells. As the skin heals itself, it also produces collagen and elastin, promoting skin tone and texture.However, these are minor and part of the healing process. The tiny injuries that are created by the procedure will quickly close up, causing no lasting damage to the tissue. The final result will be new, radiant skin that has reversed the hands of time.

Before, During, and After Treatment

To determine if IPL treatments are the best for you, schedule a consultation at BHSkin Dermatology. We'll let you know what the best treatment is for you based on your unique circumstances and goals. In general, IPL isn't recommended for darker skin tones or raised scars. IPL may not work as well on uneven areas of the body or light-colored hair.

During IPL Treatment

We may apply a topical numbing gel or cooling agent to maximize patient comfort. It truly depends on the type of treatment being done. You will likely feel a warm sensation where the light is being applied to the skin.

After IPL Treatment

Following your treatment, it’s normal to notice skin flushing for up to 24 hours. Also, swelling is common, especially if you have sensitive skin. You may also notice that some areas of the skin darken and feel dry, but it will return to its natural state in less than a week.
