ClearLift or IPL?

Question

I have a lot of freckling on my shoulders and arms. Is ClearLift or IPL more effective for freckle removal?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest a combination of peels at home (see link to cosmelan which we can send you virtually with vivatia foam) then 2 weeks after treatment youo come into office and we do BBL in motion + fraxel. this is the goldstandard BEST treatment for sunspots and freckles.   heliocare and sunscreen need to be used daily. Best, Dr. Emer.

With the use of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology, the IPL® photofacial treatment is typically used to treat sun spots and improve skin tone by targeting of hyperpigmented or otherwise damaged skin cells with the use of specific intense light wavelengths.

As the light penetrates your skin, it's converted into heat, which then destroys any hyperactive skin cells in the process and causes the pigmentation to disperse. Hyperpigmented spots will begin to rise to the surface of your skin and eventually flake off, leaving you with a much more consistent, smooth, and overall more youthful-looking face.

While many patients will only require the one single course of IPL® photofacial treatment, other patients may need as many as three if they’re to fully reach their desired results.
What Are the Benefits of the IPL® Photofacial?
IPL® photofacial benefits include:

Treats a range of areas including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and shoulders
Minimal downtime and recovery
Helps reverse signs of sun damage
Addresses hyperpigmentation and acne scars
Treats skin redness
Helps prevent future signs of aging, according to recent research
