Importance of Finding the Right Doctor for an IPL Photofacial Treatment

The IPL photofacial is one of our most popular treatments because it can treat a variety of concerns such as uneven color, dark spots, sun spots, redness, and broken capillaries. Although the treatment can provide outstanding results side effects are possible if the device is not used appropriately.

How does an IPL photofacial work?

Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial before and after pictureThe IPL photofacial works by using bright light to target and destroy unwanted pigment and redness in the skin. As the light passes through the skin it is absorbed by the pigment and blood. This heats up the pigment and blood and destroys it. There are many settings that can be adjusted to customize the treatment for each person during an IPL photofacial treatment. Those with darker skin have a higher risk of complications and therefore more conservative settings must be used for each IPL photofacial treatment. In such cases more IPL photofacial treatments are performed and results are seen more slowly. The therapeutic window for the IPL photofacial is narrow. The therapeutic window is the difference between the minimum settings required for improvement and the settings which cause damage. The possible damage in the case of the IPL photofacial includes burns, scars, and discolorations. It is therefore important to find a good doctor to perform the IPL photofacial treatment. At A E Skin Dr. Alex uses the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial device by Sciton.

Like most IPL devices on the market, the fluence, or energy settings, can be adjusted on the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial device by Sciton. However, unlike other devices, the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial device by Sciton has a number of features that make it the best device available.

There are seven different filters that can be used and easily changed on the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial device by Sciton. Most other devices have only one or two and usually the entire handpiece needs to be changed, increasing the treatment time.

Other settings that can be very easily and specifically adjusted on the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacial device by Sciton include the pulse width and temperature.

Unlike most devices which usually have two options, mane options are available on the Forever Young BBL IPL photofacialdevice by Sciton. This allows for higher safety using more conservative settings while also having the option to make the treatment more aggressive if necessary.
