IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) in Poulsbo, WA
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment addresses different skin conditions, pigmentation issues, and skin disorders. IPL is done by a specific laser treatment device using short bursts of broad-spectrum light. These short bursts remove scars, hair, or acne from the skin’s surface. IPL focuses solely on the upper layer of the skin and does not penetrate deeper levels of the skin. Therefore, this penetration action will not cause tissue damage. There are multiple conditions treated by Intense Pulsed Light. These include:
- Rosacea
- Acne
- Broken capillaries
- Sun-damaged skin
- Precancerous lesions
- Cellulite
- Birthmarks
- Spider veins
- Hair removal
- Excessively oily skin
- Psoriasis
IPL requires hours of training and expertise to perform correctly and continues to advance to provide more ways to help patients with their skin problems and concerns. Schedule a consultation at Northwest Beauty to determine if IPL is the right treatment option for you.
FAQ
What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, uses light to treat skin issues and concerns and rejuvenate the skin. IPL works on all types and tones of the skin and can treat a wide range of skin concerns. For example, brief bursts of light are used to treat acne, rosacea, sun-damaged skin, spider veins, broken capillaries, hyper-oily skin, psoriasis, and more. It can also be used for hair removal.
How does it work?
IPL delivers quick pulses of broad-spectrum light, which helps the skin in two ways. The first way is absorbing excess pigmentation in the skin and restoring a smoother complexion. Also, through the healing and rejuvenating process, IPL stimulates collagen to improve the texture and skin tone.
How many treatments will I need?
You will need multiple treatments to reach optimal results. Of course, your treatment depends on your skin concerns. Discuss the possibilities during your consultation.
When will I see the results?
IPL treatments are gradual. You may begin to see results after 14 days. Multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the results to meet your desired goals.
