As much as it might sound like a hopped-up craft beer, IPL is actually a type of laser treatment that can help with skin tone, texture, and even unwanted hair.
IPL stands for intense pulsed light. By harnessing the power of broadband light, treatments using an IPL laser in Cleveland can reduce signs of aging, improve skin texture, and fix complexion irregularities without the need for surgery or other, more invasive treatments.
ThriVe Wheeling provides customized IPL laser treatments for rejuvenating and removing unwanted hair from your face, hands, and more.
Intense pulsed light therapy is a non-ablative treatment, meaning it doesn’t destroy the surface layers of skin. It uses high-intensity pulses of broadband light to target cells in the dermis without affecting the top layer (epidermis).
Filters are used to adjust the light to target specific pigments, causing them to break down when the light energy is absorbed in the form of heat.
When used for hair removal, the IPL device delivers intense pulses of light to hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out and preventing it from regrowing in the future.
IPL therapy is versatile and can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including:
IPL treatments can reduce and prevent signs of aging by prompting your body to replace damaged cells with new, healthy ones.
By targeting damaged and undesirable structures in the skin, IPL therapy can stimulate your body to produce much more collagen, which, in turn, helps keep your skin bright and supple.
Continued IPL treatments can permanently reduce the growth of unwanted hair on your face and body. Patients with the most success using IPL hair removal typically have dark hair and light skin.
By reducing signs of sun damage, also called photo-aging, IPL therapy in Cleveland can enhance your skin texture and tone by making it smoother and eliminating irregularities in your complexion.
IPL therapy requires very little downtime after your treatment. While it largely depends on the individual and their goals for treatment, some patients are able to return to work immediately afterwards with some mild skin redness.
