What is an IPL photofacial?

    /24-7PressRelease/ - BEVERLY HILLS, CA, January 06, 2008 - IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photofacial treatment is a gentle, noninvasive procedure to reduce the signs of aging and restore a healthy youthful glow. IPL photofacials are excellent choices for people who suffer from any or all of the following conditions:

· Excess flushing and rosacea
· Uneven skin pigmentation
· Fine lines and wrinkles
· Spider veins
· Sun damage, age spots, or other discoloration
· Enlarged pores

IPL treatments use a specially calibrated laser light, emitted in rapid pulses, calibrated to target specific ranges of the color spectrum.

The IPL procedure
The IPL photofacial virtually pain free penetrates the surface of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen, encouraging skin regeneration, leaving a softer, more even, and youthful complexion.

Depending on the type and severity of the skin problems, IPL treatments may be repeated several times to achieve optimal results, usually at intervals of about three weeks. Most treatments are complete in five to eight sessions.

While the IPL photofacial is not an invasive surgery, it is still important to choose a plastic surgeon experienced with face, nose, and eye procedures, like Dr. Babak Azizzadeh in Beverly Hills, California.
