If you’re suffering from vascular or pigmented facial lesions, a skin rejuvenation treatment using intense pulsed light is one of the most effective methods for their removal.
The Palomar Starlux® System delivers energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with spider veins, reticular veins, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, age spots, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and angiomas from hands, legs, chest, arms and face.
Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, these treatments target different chromophores in the skin, which selectively absorb the laser or light energy as heat and yield the desired response. These optimal wavelengths of light clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting the chromophores of hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). These damaged lesions are then cleared by the body, removing the appearance of the lesion from the skin. Pigmented lesions undergo a mild exfoliation and slough off within two or three days, while the vascular lesions blanch and then resolve within 10 to 14 days.
Immediate results. Although you may need several treatments for long-lasting results, you will often see a noticeable improvement after the first treatment.
Quick treatment. An IPL skin lesion removal treatment can typically be done in 30 minutes or less
Safe. IPL treatments have been shown through clinical studies to be as safe, or safer than, conventional treatments.
Little down time. There is usually no recovery time. The only after effects of the treatment is minimal redness. In most cases, you can get on with your life right after the treatment.
Few side effects. Unlike conventional treatments, side effects are minimal or non existent.
Gentle. Unlike other treatments involving cutting, burning or peeling of the skin, an IPL treatment is non-invasive and less painful than most other treatments.
