The Secret Behind IPL Photorejuvenation

The relatively new kid on the block when it comes to beautiful skin is IPL photorejuvenation.   It is a remarkable procedure that offers amazing results over time.  While it is not quite as gentle or cost effective as microdermabrasion, it does offer relief from a variety of skin and complexion issues that cannot be corrected as well with that particular procedure.  In fact, IPL photorejuvenation helps correct some conditions that not even a chemical peel or more invasive surgery can help with.

The secret behind Tampa IPL photorejuvenation is the triggering of the skin’s natural rejuvenating and healing processes.   This allows for the natural healing of issues that man cannot correct on his own.  An example would be rosacea.  There are ways to lessen its visibility, but for the most part it does not go away completely until the skin heals itself.  Visible veins are another example.  They can be made less visible, but short of something invasive there is really no way to correct the issue, until now.  The IPL procedure triggers the skin’s natural healing processes so that results come more quickly than if they were left to nature alone.

The process is simple, fast, and painless. It only takes about 30 minutes, and it involves pulsing intense light deep into the skin.  This causes collagen production, and triggers the constriction of veins.  Both of these result in the lessening of fine lines and redness, as well as other signs of aging.  Results are not instantaneous however.  They tend to occur gradually with the passage of time after the procedure, and optimal results often require at least 5 sessions spaced 3 weeks  apart.

Though the procedure is painless, some do experience minor discomfort.  There is also occasionally some swelling and redness directly after the procedure, but it disappears quickly.   The thing to remember in the days, months, and even years after the procedure is maintenance.  The damage likely came from years of neglecting your skin, and the truth is that if you continue to neglect it, you are going to end right back up where you were before the procedure.  Caring for your skin after IPL photorejuvenation is vital to maintaining the results.

This includes inward as well as topical care.  While great skin products are always a good idea, general health has more bearing on the skin’s appearance than most realize.  Of course, one without the other is just not going to work, so the key is to take care of the skin from the inside out.  Use the proper cleanser and moisturizer for your particular skin type.  Pay close attention to diet and exercise as well.  Drink plenty of water, take vitamins, eat healthy foods, and avoid smoking.  Exercise is important, but be sure to cleanse skin afterward, and always wear sunscreen.

IPL photorejuvenation has been nothing short of a miracle procedure for many.  Those with skin conditions that could not be healed any other way, or that they could not afford to heal any other way, now have hope for clear and beautiful skin once again.
