Laser

IPL - Photofacial

 Intense pulse light improves the appearance of skin by removing areas of discoloration caused by pigment and vessels. 

Pigmented lesions - Sunspots or Age Spots - occur in response to sun induced skin injury and appear as dark brown circles, known as solar lentigines.  There can also be diffuse browning of the skin known as actinic bronzing. 

Vascular Lesions - superficial blue, red or purple veins under the skin's surface.  Some common types include Rosacea (facial inflammation) and spider veins (tiny vessels that appear near the surface of the face). 

Prior to treatment it is imperative that you refrain from sun exposure and protect your skin with an SPF of 30.

Pigmented lesions will darken slightly after treatment and then fade away after about 10-14 days. 

Vessels generally undergo immediate graying or blanching and the surrounding area may redden.  The vessels then fade after about about 10-14 days.
