What is IPL (Vasculight HR)?
IPL uses a filtered light beam
to penetrate to a precise depth, to allow absorption
of the light by target tissue (blood vessels, pigment
clusters, hair follicles, sun damaged skin). Different
filter heads are used, depending on the type of target,
color of the patient's skin, and location. The target
cell absorbs the light which is converted to heat
causing a local reaction. Most conditions that patients
seek treatment for require a series of IPL treatments
to optimize the effectiveness. A minimum of five
FotoFacial treatments should be done, being spaced
three to six weeks apart. Laser hair reduction treatment
intervals vary, depending upon the coarseness of
the hair, the color of the hair, and the location
on the body.
