What is Intense Pulsed Light?<\/h3>\n

\"Lumenis\"Intense pulsed light or IPL is a method of skin treatment and rejuvenation which uses light based energy to improve the appearance of the skin.<\/p>\n

It selectively heats and damages specific targets in the skin without disrupting the surface. The treatment is sometimes called a “photofacial”.<\/p>\n

Quinn Clinics<\/a> deliver intense pulsed light treatment using the very latest Lumenis IPL and laser platform. This is not widely available elsewhere – due to the investment and sophistication of the technology, Quinn Clinics have the only such machine in Bristol.<\/p>\n

It is particularly effective in treating the signs of sun-damage and ageing skin.<\/p>\n

Sun damage presents in numerous ways, including age or ‘liver spots’ and thread veins or telangiectasia. The skin also loses elasticity. IPL helps to remove surface imperfections and also by heating the skin stimulates collagen production which improves the overall appearance of the skin.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does the treatment involve?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

Following skin cleansing,\u00a0a cool conducting gel is applied to the area to be treated. The treatment is delivered then through a sapphire tipped rectangular block. Some patients liken the experience to that of an elastic band ‘snap’. Immediately after treatment the skin is cooled as it can feel quite warm.<\/p>\n

At your initial consultation a test patch is performed to assess the skin’s response. Most patients will have a series of at least three treatments, spaced a minimum of 4 weeks apart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the side effects?” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The treatment can be uncomfortable. The skin is often red immediately afterward. This usually settles within a few hours but can last a few days. Less commonly there can be some associated swelling, again usually only for a few hours. Any pigmented age spots tend to darken and fall off.<\/p>\n

Crusting and blistering are rare. Scarring, although possible is also very rare. It is to minimise the risk of this that a test patch is performed a week prior to treating the entire face.<\/p>\n
