Zap Unwanted Pigment with an IPL Photofacial at Luxe Laser

Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL is one of the most highly-requested advanced aesthetic treatments in Portland, as well as worldwide. At Luxe Laser, IPL photofacials have always been on the menu-we know our clients are on the search for more even, beautiful skin and IPL provides the results our clients crave. Let’s dive into some Intense Pulsed Light theory and history and as well as explore our newest IPL option – the Luvo Lucent.

What Is IPL?

IPL uses a process called “selective thermolysis” to seek out its “chromophore”, AKA target, and destroy that target via light energy. With IPL, we can selectively target the skin concern, while preserving the integrity of the surrounding skin, resulting in a comfortable, safe treatment with a gorgeous final result.

Intense pulsed light therapy is a powerful and effective corrective treatment that has been a mainstay in the advanced aesthetic space for decades. IPL is the fifth most requested advanced aesthetic service currently on the market and for good reason – it works!

Is An IPL Photofacial Safe?

Rest assured, IPL therapy has been widely studied and used in dermatology for decades. In fact, this treatment was first developed back in 1992 by doctors searching for better and less invasive ways to treat telangiectasia-better known as broken capillaries/distended veins/blood vessels.

After many years of improvement on technology and technique, Intense Pulsed Light services are available to the public and have become a widely popular aesthetic skin care solution to unwanted redness (from general rosiness all the way to full-fledged rosacea) as well as brown discoloration that comes from age and sun exposure.

While there are multiple clinical studies demonstrating that IPL is a safe and effective skin rejuvenating treatment, technique is key. Our team of highly trained and experienced Certified Advanced Estheticians have spent their careers perfecting their craft and Luxe Laser only works with the best CAEs in Portland. An IPL photofacial treatment is ideal for those with lighter skin tones, as the device is designed to target pigment. We do have a variety of treatments available for clients with more melanin in the skin to provide a satisfying result without damaging the skin or risking hyper/hypo pigmentation.

What Can An IPL Photofacial Treat?

An IPL photofacial can be used to treat a wide range of issues including:

• Sun Damage & Age Spots – Fades freckles, sunspots, and uneven pigmentation.
• Rosacea & Facial Redness – Minimizes redness and inflammation.
• Hyperpigmentation – Helps even out skin tone.
• Acne – Reduces active acne and post-inflammatory redness.
• Dull or Uneven Skin Tone – Improves overall radiance and clarity.
