INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL)
Photo. Rejuvenation.

Intense Pulsed Light TM (IPL) is the gold standard laser treatment. This treatment improves the appearance of photoaged skin, removes age spots (sun-induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and redness caused by broken capillaries through a process called photorejuvenation for face and body. The process is ideal for patients with active lifestyles because the procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects.The medical team at The MIAMI Institute have extensive experience in aesthetic lasers and are very conscious of patient comfort and pain control. We utilized state of the art laser and light systems by Lumenis that are cool to the touch, safe and proven.

This non-invasive, gentle approach uses targeted flashes of light to treat dilated and broken blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin. Light of several wavelengths is shined on the skin. Dark spots and blood vessels selectively take up the energy from the light which allows for their removal. This leaves the skin with a more radiant appearance. In addition, the light energy may lead to increased collagen production which is thought to improve superficial wrinkles. These treatments can be combined with Levulan to increase effectiveness.

We determine an IPL treatment plan for each patient, taking into account the number and severity of skin conditions being addressed. On average, a series of four to six treatments is recommended, scheduled at two to three week intervals. Each session usually lasts about 20 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately. By dividing the full program into several sessions, IPL treatments provide gradual, natural improvement with excellent long-term results.
