Photorejuvenation with IPL

During a photorejuvenation session, your skin will be cleaned, and a small amount of cool gel will be applied to the treatment area. As IPL is very bright, we will ask you to wear protective eye pads during treatment. By delivering energy to the skin, IPL can reduce certain brown and red spots as well as stimulate your own natural collagen rejuvenation process to improve the skin tone and complexion. Unlike other laser procedures, the surface of the skin is not damaged during treatment. BBL™ treatment is very quick, comfortable, and, more importantly, non-invasive.

IPL photorejuvenation treatments at Concept Medical in Ottawa are fast, gentle, and effective in minimizing the effects of aging and sun damage. Photorejuvenation can minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, treat age spots and brown pigmentation, improve the appearance of rosacea, and minimize fine blood vessels and pore size. More importantly, IPL can help restore a more youthful appearance to your skin. Our specific IPL system (BBL™) is the only IPL system proven to delay the appearance of visible skin aging. Makeup can be applied immediately afterwards, and you may resume normal activities with minimal to no. Some patients note slight redness and swelling for a few hours following the treatment. Swelling and redness may last longer in some patients. Treated brown spots and freckles often darken and then flake off the skin over the following week, revealing a more natural and youthful complexion.

BBL™ photorejuvenation is most commonly used to rejuvenate the skin on the face, chest, neck, and hands.

Each IPL session takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. Since individual skin types and conditions vary, multiple treatments may be required for optimal results. Since our skin continues to age with time, regular maintenance treatments are recommended to maintain excellent results. Our qualified medical aestheticians at Concept Medical in Ottawa will discuss a customized plan to help you obtain the results you desire.

Our staff are highly experienced in a full spectrum of non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including photorejuvenation. At Concept Medical in Ottawa, your customized photorejuvenation plan starts with a detailed discussion with one of our experts and treatment is performed by our trained and experienced medical aestheticians. At Concept Medical we use the advanced BroadBand Light™ (BBL™) system for all IPL treatments. A recent study demonstrated that BBL™ helps prevent the signs of aging as well as rejuvenates certain genes that are found in younger skin.
