IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation

IPL is short for Intensed Pulse Light, it is a form of laser therapy that unlike traditional laser therapies utilizes light of many different wavelengths for even more pronounced results. It accesses the second layer of your skin -known as the dermis -without causing any harm to the top layer of your skin -known as the epidermis.

IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation like most laser treatments takes some time to take full effect and show noticeable results. It generally takes a few weeks from your first treatment to see results and multiple treatments are typically required to fully resolve a condition. As part of your FREE consultation our trained medical staff will assess your condition and give you an estimate on when you can expect to see results.

Our staff will always assist you in determining whether or not IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation is right for you. You may not be a candidate to receive it if you have active acne, a sunburn, a weakened immune system, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. It's always best to consult with us, as we may be able to direct you to an alternative treatment if IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation isn't best for you.

IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation is most commonly used to treat the following:

• Liver or Age Spots

• Birthmarks

• Discoloured Skin

• Redness from Rosacea

• Scars

• Unwanted Hair

• Hormonal Dark Spots

Our trained Essence Medical staff will always outline best practices post-treatment to ensure you take care of yourself and help maximize desired results. General best practices after an IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation treatment session include taking time to rest and heal, avoiding the sun as much as possible, wearing sunscreen, and keeping the treated skin well moisturized ideally using a staff recommended product.

Our staff will always assess your unique situation, but most patients require multiple IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation treatments to attain the results they desire. Most conditions require at least 3 sessions, spaced out by 2-4 weeks. Once fully treated, many of our clients do return for follow-up treatments down the road to further rejuvenate their skin and treat anything else that naturally arises through aging. 

Patients are recommended to avoid the following prior to an IPL/ Skin Rejuvenation treatment:

• Tanning

• Waxing

• Collagen Shots

• Applying any potential skin irritants (perfumes, makeup) to the skin

All medical and cosmetic procedures come with a degree of risk. Our trained medical staff works with the utmost care and attention to detail to minimize the chances of any unwanted side effects such as swelling, scarring, unwanted pigmentation changes and bacterial infections. We are always happy to answer all questions and can direct you to more detailed procedure paperwork upon request.
