 Medical Micro-Dermabrasion
Intense Pulsed Light Photofacial Rejuvenation (IPL), as the name implies, uses high intensity light to erase skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface. IPL requires almost no recovery time [you can apply makeup 2 hours after treatment] and is effective on the face, neck, décolleté, chest and hands.
Unlike laser resurfacing, there are no wounds to heal and as such, no disruption in your daily activities.
While certain lasers are used to treat red spots, others to treat brown discoloration, and still others for skin resurfacing, no technology provides both the improvement in skin color and texture as an IPL treatment – all without the slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.
The ideal IPL candidate is someone who demonstrates photo aging. While IPL can improve fine lines and wrinkles, it will not improve, to a significant degree, sagging of the facial structures and is not a substitute for some of the more aggressive techniques.

After a series of treatments, you will see a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of a smoother, revitalized, more youthful looking skin.
