Laser IPL

Intense pulsed light, more commonly known as IPL laser, is now an essential technology in aesthetic medicine. Used to treat pigmentation spots, redness, rosacea, and photageing, it visibly improves skin quality without surgery.

Unlike a conventional laser with a single wavelength, IPL emits a broad light spectrum, filtered according to the indication, to precisely target pigments (melanin) or vessels (haemoglobin).

THE TECHNIQUE 

IPL (intense pulsed light) is a technology that uses controlled light flashes to target certain skin imperfections.

The emitted light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by:

• Brown spots (pigment)
• Small vessels responsible for redness

WHO IS IT FOR? 

The IPL treatment is aimed at patients presenting:

• Brown spots (solar lentigos)
• Diffuse redness
• Rosacea
• Uneven complexion
• Signs of photageing
• Small superficial vascular lesions

It is particularly indicated for light to intermediate skin types. A medical evaluation is essential to determine eligibility.

WHO CARRIES IT OUT?

IPL is a medical procedure when used for therapeutic or aesthetic purposes. It must be performed by a physician trained in medical lasers, capable of:

• Establishing an accurate diagnosis
• Adapting parameters
• Preventing and managing potential complications

INDICATIONS 

• Photorejuvenation (skin rejuvenation)
• Solar lentigos
• Erythrosis
• Rosacea
• Benign pigmented lesions
• Certain forms of mild inflammatory acne

PROTOCOL

A personalised protocol is established during the initial consultation:

• Analysis of skin type
• Evaluation of lesions
• Definition of energy parameters
• Planning the number of sessions (usually 2 to 4 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart)

IS IT PAINFUL?

The sensation is comparable to a light elastic snap with a slight warmth. The treatment is generally well tolerated and quick.

PRECAUTIONS

• Avoid any sun exposure 3 to 4 weeks before and after the session
• Do not apply self-tanner
• Report any photosensitising treatments
• Apply SPF 50 sunscreen after the treatment

RESULTS

Pigment spots temporarily darken and then fade within a few days.
Redness gradually decreases.
The skin appears brighter, more even, with a refined texture.

The results are progressive and optimised after several sessions.

PATIENT'S REVIEW
