Does the IPL treatment work for rejuvenation of face, neck and chest?

Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition.

Hello and thank you for your question!

IPL also known as Photofacial is a great non-invasive way to effectively treat brown spots, broken capillaries, wrinkles, tighten and smooth the skin and even reduce pore size. The intense pulse light stimulates collagen production leaving you with refreshed, renewed and more even toned skin. It can most definitely be done on the face, neck and chest. I hope this helps !!

IPL is a versatile treatment that can address any of these areas. The intense pulsed light therapy is particularly helpful in treating sun damage, redness, and pigmentation issues. IPL treatments are quick and very effective for skin mottling. We typically use a series of three treatments for best results and then a maintenance treatment once a year for clear beautiful skin for life. It is our most popular light treatment. However, it is not the only device used for these concerns, and if you have deep wrinkles, you’ll have to choose a different laser. In my practice, we offer more than 50 laser and light devices that allow us to customize a patient’s treatment to their precise needs, goals, and skin type and tone. When your treatment is personalized to your specific situation, you will experience the best possible results. I encourage you to work with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist who has the expertise to tailor your treatment plan and produce an optimal outcome for you.
