What is Intense Pulsed Light?

Intense pulsed light, also known as photofacial, uses a device that delivers carefully targeted pulses of light energy to treat specific issues while boosting the overall condition of the skin.

By utilizing different settings, IPL can deliver energy into the skin, where it is then absorbed by areas of darker pigment, greatly reducing brown spots or even the redness from rosacea. It can also be used to treat the little red vessels or spider veins.

Simply put, IPL uses light energy to target a certain color in your skin. After IPL, your skin will have a more youthful glow because IPL helps to make skin tone more even. And since the light doesn’t hurt other tissue, recovery is a cinch. In fact, a patient can often have the procedure done in their lunch break and return to work immediately afterwards.

The treatment sessions are effective, safe and quick, which make them a sought-after option for individuals who want to reduce redness and the signs of aging without surgery or injections.

What are the Expected Results from Intense Pulsed Light Treatments?

Though it is not a surgical procedure, IPL is still a treatment that requires education so patients can be informed of its unique features. Prior to your procedure you will sit with Dr. Jatto so she can clearly define your expectations of the treatment. By assessing your unique skin goals, she will be able to tell you whether or not the results you’re looking for will be achievable with intense pulsed light therapy. It is essential that the correct diagnosis is made in order to ensure this kind of treatment will work for you.

What is the IPL Procedure Like?

The smooth, glass surface of the Intense pulsed light treatment head is touched to the skin, delivering precise pulses of light to the area being treated. Treatments usually last about 20 minutes and a cooling anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to help with any possible discomfort.

What are Possible Side Effects of Intense Pulsed Light?

Any side effects that could occur are usually minor. The most common side effect is likened to the sensation of a mild sunburn.

  Being a patient of Dr. Jatto's has been the most positive and exciting experience I've ever had with any medical professional! She and her staff are warm and welcoming, in addition to being knowledgeable and helpful. I have had several medical aesthetic procedures and been so excited with all of the results (no problems at all). This office exceeds all my expectations and I always look forward to my next visit! Since 2019 I have been seeing Dr. Jatto. She has always addressed any health and beauty issues in her usual thorough and professional way. I love that she completely explains everything and always has a plan going  forward. Additionally, Carrie is very knowledgeable regarding my beauty procedures. I still look forward to my visits and never feel rushed!!

  I love Dr Jatto. She takes the time needed to explain things to me in a way I can understand. She encourages me to ask questions of her as well which I appreciate because I advocate for my health.  She is my primary care provider and I am part of her weight loss program as well. I’ve lost a total of 70 pounds and counting.  I’ve don’t the red light therapy for hair loss.
