IPL Laser Risks & Safety

IPL does not use UV light but specific bands of light of different wavelength.  IPL have proven to have a long term safety track record.  IPL is often used not only for aesthetic purposes but can be used to treat dermatologic diseases as well.  A study in LASERs Med Sci in 2006 by authors Hedelund,et al looked at the potential for IPL and cancer and found that there was no carcinogenic potential based on histologic studies on the effects of IPL.  

The Sciton Broad Band
Light (BBL™) provides patients with a state-of-the-art laser system, which is
able to treat multiple aesthetic concerns, while being safe, non-invasive with
no downtime. Patients benefit from effective results and quicker recovery time
than other more intensive laser treatments. For those who can’t afford the
downtime or cost of CO2 lasers or similar, the Sciton BBL is a good alternative.

Its
broad range of wavelengths allow targeted treatment for many skin conditions
and the flexible Finesse Adapters enable treatment of hard to reach areas,
producing evenly treated skin.#BBLlowrisk   #BBLsafety   #BBLsideeffects

Sciton® BBL technology treats sun-damaged and
aging skin effectively. The light energy delivered by the BBL will gently be
absorbed by the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions in the upper
layers of the skin. Over the next few days the pigmented lesions will darken
and fall off. Pigmented lesions can be removed by full-face or spot-treat
superficial resurfacing. Red veins will simply disappear!
Gentle
cleansing without harsh products for a few days is recommended as well as a broad
spectrum sunscreen.
