The Science Behind it All: How Does IPL Skin Resurfacing Work?
IPL or Intense Pulsed Light is the hottest non-invasive treatment, resourcing to light energy, it’s used to target a variety of skin concerns: from pigmentation issues to acne scars and fine lines. You may be wondering, how does it work at all? We’re breaking it down for you 👇
Unlike lasers which use a single wavelength of light, IPL offers a range of light wavelengths that are customizable to treat and target specific skin issues. These light pulses penetrate the skin’s surface and are then absorbed by pigments and/or tissues, depending on which concern is being addressed:
☀️Sun Damage and Pigmentation Issues
One, if not the most, common use of IPL is to reduce hyperpigmentation (sun spots, age spots, melasma, you name it). The light energy that is emitted by IPL is absorbed by the melanin/ darker pigment in your skin. In this way, melanin gradually breaks down and eventually fades away. The result? A more even skin tone and reduced appearance of discoloration.
🚨FYI: Since IPL essentially breaks down melanin, it is not recommended for very dark skin tones. Only on fair-to-medium skin types.
👶Stimulates Collagen Production = Massive Skin Rejuvenation
IPL also exceeds at targeting the skin’s deeper layers. The light energy can stimulate the dermis AKA the deeper layer of your skin and trigger the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is the most vital protein as it provides firmness, structure, and elasticity to your skin. With the passing of time, collagen production naturally decreases which leads to wrinkles and and sagging skin. With IPL, your body’s natural healing process is encouraged resulting in new, firmer, and healthy skin, just like a baby’s!
🦓 Reduces Fines Lines and Improves Skin Texture
Now that the body is producing collagen and elastin, your skin’s surface will become smoother and wrinkles and fine lines will be gone as well. The best option for those looking to address early signs of aging without undergoing invasive procedures.
🥵 Minimizes Redness and Other Vascular Concerns
Not only does IPL address pigmentation, but it can also be used to target your skin’s blood vessels. It’s highly beneficial in cases of rosacea, broken capillaries, and general facial redness. IPL makes those blood vessels shrink, reducing redness and improving your overall complexion.
