IPL Intense Pulsed Light

Intense pulsed light treatment, or IPL, harnesses high intensity pulses of light to diminish the visible signs of aging, repair or remove skin lesions, and minimize imperfections. Unlike laser treatments that focus one wavelength of light on the treatment area, IPL uses many different wavelengths of light to penetrate to the second layer of skin without damaging the top layer. This photorejuvenation therapy can be used on a variety of areas of the body to heal and regenerate with low risk of complications and no downtime. IPL can target multiple skin conditions in one treatment area without the need to employ different treatment modalities. Genesis is pleased to offer the benefits of the cutting-edge technologies of the Luvo Lucent IPL System with advanced cooling technologies and proven results.

Reveal Beautiful Skin With IPL

Who Is It For?

Intense pulsed light treatment works best on patients with white to light brown skin tones. It is ideal for the treatment of:

Acne and acne scarring
Birthmarks and freckles
Stretch marks
Fine lines and wrinkles
Rosacea
Broken blood capillaries or spider veins
Scars
Unwanted dark hair
Uneven skin pigmentation and age spots
Sun damage

How Does It Work?

IPL therapy targets cells with colour. The IPL system emits high-intensity pulses of light which are then converted into heat energy causing micro-damages to the target cells. Your body will expel the damaged and unwanted cells naturally. This treatment can penetrate deeper to the second layer of skin, the dermis, without affecting the top layer of skin, the epidermis.

The Benefits

No downtime or recovery period required
Can be used on multiple areas of the body
Little to no discomfort
Fast and gentle treatment
Lasting results

What to Expect

After carefully cleansing the treatment area, your skin care specialist will apply a cooling gel. You will be required to wear protective eyeglasses during treatment. The pulses of light should not be painful, but many patients report that it feels like being snapped with a rubber band against your skin. Treatment is fairly fast, depending on the size of the treatment area, and may take 30-90 minutes. Following treatment you may experience some slight redness and increased sensitivity. Most patients experience visible results after just one treatment, but for optimal outcomes 3-5 treatments at intervals of 1 month are ideal.

FAQs

How many treatments and how long until I see results from IPL?

Yes, in most cases you will need more than one treatment to see the desired results. Most practitioners recommend between 3 and 5 treatments, though it really depends on the area and type of condition being treated. In most cases, improvements can be seen as soon as 7 days after the initial treatment but best results are visible 8-12 weeks after the series of treatments is complete.

Who should not consider IPL?

The longevity of your results is dependent on your lifestyle and habits (sun exposure, skin care, use of sunblock, etc.). Your skin will continue to age, but IPL treatment resets the clock so you look younger longer. Hyperpigmentation problems may be permanently eradicated with IPL.

Who should not consider IPL?

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain diagnosed skin conditions, or are taking medications, you should speak with your practitioner to decide if intense pulsed light therapy is the best option for you.
