What is IPL?
If you’re concerned about sun damage or dark spots affecting your skin’s appearance, Restoration Dermatology offers skin consultations at our Nashville and Franklin, TN locations to see if intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is right for you. IPL photofacials are a rejuvenating treatment designed for adult men and women dealing with hyperpigmentation on the face and neck. While IPL is non-invasive, it’s highly effective in stimulating the skin’s natural healing process by delivering intense light pulses that gently heat the skin. This encourages collagen production, resulting over time in a more even skin tone and a healthier, refreshed complexion.
How Does IPL Work?
An IPL photofacial at our Nashville and Franklin offices typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes when performed alone. During the treatment, your skin will be cleansed and dried, and protective eye covers will be provided. The technician then uses a handheld device to deliver pulses of light across the skin’s surface. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, but most find the sensation manageable given the short duration of the procedure.
Rejuvenate Your Skin
While you may not have worried about your skin as a child, years of environmental exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation and other skin irregularities that affect your complexion. We encourage you to learn more about IPL photofacial treatments by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Vineet Mishra at our Nashville or Franklin, TN offices. IPL treatments at Restoration Dermatology target deeper layers of damaged skin, helping to restore a youthful glow and smooth, even skin tone.
