IPL laser treatment in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Our skin tends to undergo changes that have unpleasant side effects as we age. Very often, we can see problems like:

• Brown pigments (freckles and age spots).
• fine lines.
• Red spots.
• Broken blood vessels.
• Enlarged pores.
• rough texture.
• Loss of tone.
• Loss of elasticity.
• Sun damage.

Fortunately, there have been great technological advances in the care of aging skin and we can work to reduce these problems. One such advancement in skin treatments is the development of intense pulsed light technology, also known as IPL photofacial treatment or simply IPL treatment.

What is intense pulsed light therapy?

IPL penetrates the superficial layers of the skin to reduce signs of aging and other skin conditions in the treated area and treat wrinkles. These laser treatments can be performed on virtually any part of the body and are safe for all skin types, including light brown skin and dark skin.

How long does intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment last?

The phototherapy treatment itself only takes about 15 to 30 minutes, and it is not necessary to apply any gel or topical anesthesia. With this laser therapy, you will be able to enter and exit our Center located in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria without any hassle.

What does IPL treatment feel like?

The IPL therapy handpiece will be cool and comfortable when placed on the skin. The light pulses may produce a brief, mild pinching sensation, but nothing more intense than that.

What happens after intense pulsed light treatment?

Immediately after the light energy treatment, you may see spots beginning to darken and slight redness of skin cells in the surrounding area. This will disappear within a couple of hours, and the dark spots will fade and peel within 1 to 3 weeks.

Are there any post-treatment recommendations?

After your IPL treatment, you will be able to return to work immediately and resume all your regular activities without unwanted side effects. The only warning is to avoid sun exposure after the procedure and apply sunscreen liberally to the treatment area.

When will you see the results?

For most patients, IPL works and results will begin to appear as the skin heals within 2 to 3 weeks of treatment. However, the final results, such as the removal of brown spots and acne scars, will not be evident until the end of a series of 4 to 6 treatments.

Will spots and redness reappear over time?

New spots and redness may appear if you are exposed to the sun for long periods and do not apply sunscreen outdoors. Sun damage is one of the main reasons why spots and redness reappear.
