Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for Skin Resurfacing
You might benefit from skin resurfacing treatments if you have uneven skin tone or texture, fine lines or deep wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scars. At Ageless Medical Aesthetics, we specialize in laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) for skin resurfacing in Columbus, GA. Here is our guide to understanding what to expect from laser therapy, who should consider this treatment option, and the benefits of this treatment.
What Is IPL and Laser Therapy?
IPL therapy is intense pulsed light therapy or photofacial therapy. It is a safe, minimally invasive method of improving the texture and color of your skin without undergoing surgery. IPL can reduce the appearance of sun damage and can treat blotchy skin, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Laser therapy is a minimally invasive treatment that uses low-level laser light to stimulate healing and regenerative processes in the skin and soft tissues. Laser light can penetrate deep within the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production, relieve inflammation, and promote healing.
What Skin Conditions Are Treated With Laser Therapy?
Laser therapy and IPL work best on pale or light brown skin. We recommend both laser therapy and IPL to treat:
- Acne and acne scars
- Facial scars
- Birthmarks
- Stretch marks
- Age spots
- Sun damage
- Discoloration and hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Freckles
- Rosacea
We don’t recommend laser resurfacing, laser treatment, or IPL treatment to patients who are pregnant, have a skin infection or skin condition, are taking blood thinners, regularly use retinoid creams, are very sensitive to light, have very dark skin, have severe scarring, have severe scar tissue, or have a sunburn.
Benefits of IPL and Laser Therapy for Skin
Undergoing IPL or laser therapy for skin resurfacing at Ageless Medical Aesthetics can dramatically improve the appearance, tone, and texture of your skin. You may look significantly younger afterwards, and you can get rid of unwanted skin conditions like acne scars, rosacea, and fine lines and wrinkles. IPL and laser therapy are minimally invasive, low-risk, and allow you to return to almost all of your regular activities immediately after treatment without a lengthy recovery period. Unlike surgery, there is a low risk of infection or complications due to the treatment.
