At Oakbrook Advance Aesthetics, we use the advanced IPL Intense Pulsed Light system. IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, uses a broad spectrum of light to target specific chromophores in the skin, such as melanin (for pigment) and hemoglobin (for redness). This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including sun spots, age spots, broken capillaries, rosacea, and fine lines on the face, neck, décolleté, and hands.
During an IPL treatment, you may experience a brief snapping or stinging sensation as the light is applied to the skin. A cooling gel is used to minimize discomfort. Most patients tolerate the treatment well. Immediately following the session, you may experience some mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours.
For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced apart. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin type and concerns to create a personalized treatment plan. We will also discuss any pre- and post-treatment care instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
