IPL Treatment in Huntsville
Persistent redness, discoloration, and sun damage can be frustrating and difficult to treat. At 20/20 Eye Care, we offer OptiLight IPL treatment to target these concerns at their source using non-invasive, light-based technology.
What is IPL treatment?
IPL stands for intense pulsed light, a therapy which uses light pulses to treat pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the skin’s surface. It’s not a laser, but it works in a similar way, gently heating the deeper layers of the skin to target unwanted pigment or blood vessels without harming the surface.
Conditions treated with IPL
If you’re ready to improve skin tone, reduce redness, and fade dark spots on your face or neck, IPL treatment may be the best option.
IPL can effectively treat:
Rosacea and facial redness
If you experience redness, spider veins, or broken capillaries, IPL can help by shrinking inflamed blood vessels, leaving you with clearer skin.
Dark spots, age spots, and sunspots
Similarly, IPL can break down excess melanin without damaging the skin.
Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
In fact, IPL treatments can help with skin tone and coloration across the board.
Acne
IPL treats acne by killing bacteria and shrinking sebaceous glands. It can also help minimize the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production.
Unwanted hair
IPL is very effective at reducing hair density. Repeated treatments can help slow hair growth, resulting in finer hair overall.
Dry eye syndrome
Believe it or not, IPL can help your eyes too! Treatments can reduce inflammation around your eyes and stimulate tear production. Learn more about dry eye.
What to expect during IPL treatment
Before your IPL procedure, it’s best to avoid tanning, chemical peels, or any medications that cause sensitivity to light. Our technicians will cleanse your skin and apply gel to the target area. Your eyes will be shielded during the procedure, which usually lasts between twenty and thirty minutes. Some people experience a mild stinging sensation during IPL, but you should be able to return to your usual activities immediately afterwards.
