Photo damage/sun damage is something that’s very common. But, it can cause problems that go beyond just sun burns. When the skin is constantly exposed to the sun, it’s natural that the tonal texture is affected due to harmful UV rays. The results could be brown spots, wrinkling and early skin aging, and even excessive discoloration. Which is why dermatologists suggest using high SPF sunscreens on a daily basis. But, let’s be honest, how many of us actually follow the advice? Well, the answer would be less than 2-3%.
That’s actually the reason that women usually require more than just topical creams to keep the skin healthy looking and wrinkle free. One such treatment that’s very effective for sun damaged skin is the Clinique Anti Aging IPL laser treatment.
Most people usually think that IPL is a kind of regular laser treatment but that’s actually not true. Instead, it’s a treatment where the skin is exposed to broadband light. This is because light only in the broadband spectrum can tackle the problems that are caused by sun damage.
That said, let’s now talk about the general precautions that have to be taken when talking about the IPL photo correction skin treatment.
Who can Undergo the Treatment?
IPL is not a suitable treatment for people with dark complexion. It can be carried out safely on white, medium brown, to brown skin tones only.
Also, if you’re somebody who’s suffering from the skin problems listed below – and you are in the complexion scale that we have mentioned – you’ll largely benefit from this treatment.
- Acne and acne marks.
- Redness due to active acne.
- Recurrent acne.
- Brown spots due to sun exposure.
- Wrinkles and fine lines around the corners of the month and neck.
- Skin problems like uneven skin tone.
- Skin problems like Rosacea.
- Dull, dry, and dehydrated skin.
What to Expect from the IPL Treatment?
IPL treatment offers dramatic effect. But, you’ll have to take touch-up sittings (after the initial corrective sittings) two or three times every year for the results to last. Also, it might take anywhere between 2 to 4 initial sittings for the problem(s) to be tackled and treated.
The end result after the treatment is very good. The skin becomes spotless with an even tone, healthy texture, and radiant complexion. Ergo, you look much much younger that you actually are.
All in all, as long as you follow the instructions that the doctors give and the doctor you choose is experienced and skilled, your skin will only get better with the IPL treatment.
