At Oasis Aesthetics, we are excited to offer Lumecca IPL, one of the most advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technologies available today. This non-invasive treatment is designed to target skin imperfections caused by sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and more. Whether you are looking to rejuvenate your complexion, reduce discoloration, or improve overall skin texture, Lumecca IPL can help you achieve radiant, even-toned skin.
How Does IPL Photofacial Work?
IPL Photofacial utilizes pulses of light at specific wavelengths to penetrate the skin and treat various skin concerns. The light energy is absorbed by the pigmented areas of your skin, such as age spots, freckles, and sun damage, breaking them down and allowing your body to naturally eliminate them. It also targets the redness associated with conditions like rosacea or small blood vessels (telangiectasias) by reducing inflammation and promoting a more even skin tone.
What Skin Conditions Does IPL Treat?
- Age Spots & Sun Damage: Brighten and even out skin tone by targeting brown spots caused by UV exposure.
- Freckles & Liver Spots: Reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and discoloration.
- Rosacea: Calm redness and inflammation associated with rosacea
- Broken Capillaries & Telangiectasias: Minimize the visibility of small blood vessels on the face and body.
What to Expect During an IPL Photofacial
An IPL Photofacial is a quick, non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort. During your treatment, a specialized handpiece will be placed over the treatment area, emitting pulses of light onto your skin. The treatment is typically well-tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a light snapping or tingling feeling. A cooling gel or device may be used to enhance comfort during the procedure.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For optimal results, most patients require 3-5 treatments, spaced about 3-4 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments will depend on the severity of the skin condition being treated and your individual goals. After completing your treatment series, you’ll notice a significant improvement in skin tone, texture, and clarity.
