I'm considering having ipl laser treatments for a breast enlargement. Research has shown that it increases up to 2 cup sizes only. Is this procedure effective? And what are the side effects?
Hi there-
You need to run as fast as you can from whoever told you this. I'm not sure what "research" you are referring to, but it's immaterial- this is silly.
I would like to get IPL but have read too mush about potential harm to subcutaneous layers, and long term side effects. What is the risk for V-beam long term side effects? Vis-a-vis IPL, how deeply does the V-beam penetrate? Also I have heard it called a "pulsed dye laser" Can you explain a little about what that means and how it works?
V-Beam and IPL are different devices that can achieve similar results. The V-Beam is a single wavelength device ( a LASER ) with wavelengths in the range of 585 nm to 600 nm. It includesonly ONE wavelength of light within each pulse emitted. It absorbs hemoglobin (its target within blood vessels) and destroys capillaries and other small vessels. The IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light and it includes MULTIPLE light wavelengths within the same pulse emitted. There are many different ranges utilized. The IPL Green Spectrum most closely resembles the V-Beam because it contains a group of wavelengths that is also selectively absorbed by hemoglobin within blood vessels. The IPL Green is very effective in removing blood vessels, improving rosacea and acne, and gives the secondary benefit of improved fine skin texture and reduction of pore size.
I have had a IPL treatment on my back. Just one treatment, and they are not crusting over like they should. They are raised, will I need another procedure. Or is there something better out there to remove these ugly spots on my back?
Dear writer, IPL is very effective to remove brown patches and freckles. IPL does not remove brown color keratoses, such as seborrheic keratoses. Consult your doctor to make sure whether you have this type of growths. They can be brown, scaly and raised. They will not respond so well to IPL, but they may be effectively removed via 'cold therapy' with liquid nitrogen, depending on their size by electrodessication, and also in some cases with chemical peels or even other types of lasers. For your freckles and any flat brown spots, however, the IPL is an excellent choice. You may not be seeing a lot of crusting after your first treatment because the majority of doctors perform the first session typically at low to medium energy levels, to ensure that good results are also accompanied by a safe outcome. This is a very appropriate way to start IPL treatment. I hope this information was helpful. Dr. Bowes.
