Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to penetrate the skin and tissue and create heat. This heat triggers the body’s natural healing process, which removes the damaged tissue and increases collagen and elastin production for smoother, younger, and healthier-looking skin.
Dr. Arko Demianczuk uses the Lumenis® Optima™ IPL Photorejuvenation treatment at his practice. This FDA-cleared treatment not only addresses pigmentation concerns and rosacea, but it can also reduce the appearance of unwanted blood vessels and create a more youthful appearance. And because there is no downtime, you can get back to living your life almost immediately.

What Should I Expect?
IPL Photorejuvenation treatment works with your body to remove skin imperfections over a series of treatments. Some skin concerns only require 1-2 treatment sessions, while others may need more sessions.
On average, patients require 2-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. During your consultation, Dr. Demianczuk will review your medical history and examine your skin to determine how many treatment sessions you will need.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
After your IPL treatment, you will likely experience some redness, but that will dissipate within a couple of hours.
Typically, you will be able to go back to most of your normal activities, including wearing makeup, immediately after treatment. That said, you will want to avoid direct sun exposure. Additionally, applying sunscreen regularly after treatment is vital to ensure you achieve the best results.
