WHAT IS ADVANCED SKIN REJUVENATION?
Advanced skin rejuvenation from Novalis Medical is a gentle pulsed light procedure that can be performed on the face, chest, arms, legs…..just about anywhere. And without down time!
IPL is non-ablative and non-invasive, meaning skin is neither removed nor damaged. The pulsed light targets and destroys unwanted blood vessels and pigmented discolorations without harming normal skin. The process also restores the homogenous skin color of your youth and stimulates fiberblasts to produce collagen that replenishes what time and sun damage has taken away. This collagen “plumping” effect creates smoother skin and lessens fine lines.
WHO CAN BE TREATED?
The IPL can be performed on most skin types. If you have very dark or tanned skin, however, you should consult with our cosmetic consultant.
IS THE PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
Most patients will feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. A topical anesthetic can make the treatment more comfortable.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT?
The treated area will feel like a very mild sunburn and may be slightly pink and swollen for a few hours. Many patients have the treatment performed at lunchtime and are able to return to work that afternoon.
Age spots, freckles and sun spots will get darker after treatment and flake off in 3 to 10 days leaving a fresh new skin. Blood vessels may disappear immediately after treatment or fade away after a few days. Since collagen is produced slowly and in small amounts after each treatment, skin smoothing and fine line reduction may be noted nine to twelve weeks after the fourth treatment.
HOW LONG DOES THE PROCEDURE TAKE?
The procedure takes about 30 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. Depending on your skin type and condition(s) to be treated, 3 to 6 treatments may be necessary.
