Laser IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments are used to treat facial spider veins, unsightly birthmarks, age spots, sun spots, freckles, and excess hair. Although these aren’t medical concerns, they are unattractive and can affect your self-esteem and quality of life.
At Dr. Warmuth’s Skin Care Center, we utilize advanced IPL technology to safely, effectively, and easily treat benign skin lesions and vascular skin lesions on an outpatient basis. IPL treatments can also be used to remove unwanted hair from any part of your body.
How It Works
Laser IPL treatments use intense pulsed light therapy to reduce melanin, the dark pigment in your skin. The light energy is delivered to your skin in pulses through a computer-controlled hand piece. The melanin absorbs the light energy. After treatment, the skin lesion or unwanted hair slowly disappears. Unwanted hairs that are removed with laser IPL treatments never grow back again.
What to Expect
You may feel a slight sting when you undergo treatment, as if a rubber band is being snapped against your skin. You might also feel like your skin is sunburned after you receive IPL treatment. Nevertheless, the use of anesthesia is not necessary and you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
There is currently no other non-invasive treatment available that is as flexible, quick, and effective as the laser IPL procedure in treating the following conditions:
