Intense Pulsed Light and Non-Ablative Laser

With intense pulsed light and non-ablative laser treatments, high energy visible and infrared light is applied to the skin using specifically designed devices. Treatment sessions are generally completed in under an hour, and any mild redness and swelling disappears in several hours. Results vary from patient to patient, and can include dramatic improvement in overall skin texture (smoothness), reduced pore size, reduced redness, softened fine lines, and more even coloration. Strict attention to sun protection and an effective topical skin care regimen are required for optimal results, and combining intense pulsed light treatments with topical agents may hasten and enhance the final results. Treatment generally requires several sessions every two to eight weeks, and once or twice yearly maintenance treatments are recommended to maximize long-term results.
