Want to brighten your skin, and restore your face’s refreshing and youthful glow? Do you need help reducing age spots or improving fine lines and wrinkles? An IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment at Renew MD in Reno, Nevada can do all that!

How Do IPL Treatments Work?

An IPL treatment is a popular medical spa procedure – also known as “photofacial” – that uses intense pulsed light to rejuvenate the skin. The technology delivers quick pulses of light energy to the surface of the skin; discolorations and pigments within the skin absorb the light and begin to break down. Over time and with enough treatments, the pigments entirely break down and are absorbed by the body.

Am I a Good Candidate for IPL Treatments?

You’re a good candidate for IPL treatments if you have hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne scarring, and pigmented lesions. IPL treatments can be used on most skin types and tones, although patients with very dark skin tones may not be suitable for this procedure.

How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?

A typical treatment takes about 60 minutes to administer, depending on the area that’s being treated. Patients will experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Is There Any Downtime?

There’s no downtime associated with this procedure; however, you will need to protect your skin with sunscreen. This is because the IPL treatment can leave your skin vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays. You may also experience some redness in the first few days after your treatment.
