IPL in Palm Coast, Ormond Beach & Port Orange, FL
Aging, chronic sun exposure, and other factors can result in sun and age spots and cause skin to appear less youthful. Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment for rejuvenating the skin and correcting problems like sun and age spots. The board-certified dermatologists at Parks Dermatology Center in Ormond Beach, FL (Lakebridge Plaza), Port Orange, FL, and Palm Coast, FL, offer IPL therapy that can give you more youthful-looking skin.
How IPL Treatments Work
IPL therapy is sometimes also referred to as photo facial treatment. It works by delivering a band of intense pulsed light waves to the skin using a handheld laser device passed over the treatment area. As the light waves are absorbed, the skin is stimulated to produce fresh, new skin cells. Additionally, heat from the light waves breaks up the pigment in sun and age spots, causing them to fade.
Skin appears smoother, softer, and healthier with each successive treatment. Multiple treatment sessions might be needed to achieve the desired results. IPL therapy works best on light to medium skin tones. Treating darker skin tones with IPL therapy can lead to hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. The experienced dermatologists at our offices in Ormond Beach, FL (Lakebridge Plaza), Port Orange, FL, and Palm Coast, FL, perform IPL treatments and can determine if you are a suitable candidate.
