What is IPL?
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-laser skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to safely and effectively address a variety of skin concerns. At Associates in Plastic Surgery, we offer IPL treatments performed with the Cynosure Palomar Icon™ system to help improve your skin’s tone, clarity, and texture without surgery or extensive downtime.
Common Conditions Treated with IPL
- Rosacea
- Brown spots and discolorations
- Sun damage
- Spider veins and broken blood vessels
- Acne and acne scarring
- Wrinkles & Skin Aging
- Skin Tightening
- Stretch Marks
- New & Old Scars
- Surgical Scars
Am I a Good Candidate for IPL?
Ideal candidates for IPL treatments are individuals looking to reduce sun damage, improve pigmentation issues, or even out skin tone. While IPL is safe and effective for many skin types, those with deeply pigmented or tanned skin may face increased risks of complications. A personalized consultation with one of our experienced clinical aestheticians is essential to determine your suitability.
How IPL Works
Unlike traditional laser treatments, which use a single wavelength, IPL treatments utilize varied wavelengths to target multiple skin concerns simultaneously. During an IPL session, the intense light penetrates the skin, and melanin or damaged blood vessels absorb the energy. Darker-targeted areas such as age spots and vascular lesions absorb more energy, neutralizing discoloration or coagulating the vessels safely and effectively.
Palomar Icon™ Fractional Laser
In addition to IPL, Associates in Plastic Surgery offers advanced skin resurfacing with the Palomar Icon™ Fractional Laser. This non-invasive laser treatment promotes the growth of new, healthy tissue to improve numerous skin irregularities.
Conditions Treated by Fractional Laser Resurfacing
- Old and new scars
- Stretch marks
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun spots and age spots
- Loose, lax skin
- Loss of collagen
- Surgical scarring
- Acne scars
- Melasma
Expected Results and Recovery
IPL and fractional laser treatments both offer significant cosmetic improvements with little to no downtime. Some patients may experience mild swelling or redness following treatment, which typically subsides with the help of cold packs. In cases involving dyschromia (uneven skin pigmentation), slight crusting may appear but generally resolves within one to two weeks.
Beyond targeted improvements, these treatments also stimulate natural collagen production, which helps tighten and smooth the skin over time, making it an effective anti-aging solution.
