IPL/PhotoFacial



Broad Band Light

IPL PHOTOFACIAL LASER

Laser is a focused beam of intense, “single-colored” light and heat energy with a specific wavelength but variable intensity and pulse duration designed to selectively interact with specific tissues of the skin.

The effect of laser depends on wavelength, degree of cooling, intensity of energy or fluence, pulse duration ranging from picoseconds to milliseconds, the intended targets, and skin type of the individuals. The effect of laser on tissues is specific and is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis.

Most lasers thus targets primarily very specific components of the skin. As such, combination treatments with other modalities and lasers generally produce broader and more effective outcome.

Laser can be used to treat the following conditions:

  1. Skin tone
  2. Melasma
  3. Postinflammatory pigmentation
  4. Diffuse pigmentation
  5. Pigmented spots
  6. Non-pigmented spots
  7. Superficial pigmentation
  8. Deep pigmentation
  9. Rosacea and redness
  10. inflammation
  11. Large pores
  12. texture
  13. Fine lines
  14. Firmness and skin tightening
  15. Oil control and acne
  16. acne scar
  17. Spider vein
  18. Leg vein
  19. Hair removal
  20. Tattoo
  21. Dryness

IPL PhotoFacial Laser

This light, neodymium YAG laser, is actually not strictly a laser, but rather a broad band light of wavelengths ranging from 500 nm to 800 nm, which primarily targets blood, melanin, and tattoos.

IPL RF, the enhanced version, combines broad band light energy with bidirectional radiofrequency energy, providing even more effective results for skin rejuvenation.


1. Broadly targets blood, melanin, and tattoos
2. Broad depth of light interaction
3. Suitable for fair to average skin toned skin individuals

1. Patients with realistic expectation
2. Patients in good healthy conditions
3. Skin which has been properly sun protected, primed, and prepared

1. Patients with unrealistic expectation
2. Skin which has not been properly protected, primed, and prepared.

As for preparation, proper topical medical product regimen is initiated prior to treatment. Once the skin is primed, treatment can be started.

After numbing medicine is washed off, the lasers are activated. Pin point rubber band like sensations will be felt, while the skin is cooled during most of the time. Sequential lasers are then used. Topical anti-inflammatory agents and sunblock are then used.

Generally, several sessions are required.

Results are more precise, longer lasting, and more complete when treatments are done in stages.

The treatment takes about half hour in an outpatient clinic setting.

Topical anesthesia may be used.


1. More even Skin tone
2. Improved Melasma
3. Improved Postinflammatory pigmentation
4. Improved Diffuse pigmentation
5. Lighter Pigmented spots
6. Smaller Raised spots
7. Lighter Superficial pigmentation
8. Lighter Deep pigmentation
9. Rosacea and redness
10. Redcued inflammation
11. Large pores
12. Smoother texture
13. Reduced Fine lines
14. Firmer and tighter skin
15. Better oil and acne control
16. Acne scar
17. smaller Spider vein
18. smaller Leg vein
19. long lasting Hair removal
20. reduced tattoo

Results are gradual and can be seen beginning in three weeks. More effects will generally require multiple sessions of therapy.
Results last one year and longer when proper topical medical product regimen is maintained.
Continued therapy, especially when combined with topical medicine regiment, would maintain and enhance results.
For more aggressive and faster results, combination with other modalities will be helpful.
Recovery lasts one week.
Mild flakiness, redness, and dryness are expected.
Mild redness, crusting, or temporary darkening is noted.
Prescription pain medications are generally not necessary.
Most people return to work and activities in one week.
Ice for the first 24 hours
Topical anti-redness medicine Red-Ease for 3 days
Topical serum moisturizer Super B for 3 days
Steroid for 3 days
Sun block after 6 hours
No exfoliation medicine for 5 days

Cost of treatment options ranges from three to four digits. An in-person consultation with your specialist physician will help to determine the best suitable solution to your own individual needs.
