What is better IPL or chemical peel?
Chemical peels reveal younger, healthier, softer skin lying beneath the surface. They’re excellent for treating acne scars, uneven skin pigmentation and fine lines. They also enhance collagen production. The best candidates for IPL are people with light, fair and untanned skin.
Can you do IPL and chemical peel together?
We love that the IPL treatment can be performed in conjunction with other facial skin procedures, such as chemical peels and dermaplanes. These treatments target epidermis (the outermost skin layer), and IPL treatments reach the deeper skin layers.
Is chemical peel better than laser?
Laser treatments are superior to chemical peels in how controllable and precise it is. It’s easier to just target an acne scar or a few spots on the skin with a laser. The laser is also better for deep collagen remodeling. If you are trying to address wrinkles or sagging skin, lasers will be a better option.
Is IPL a chemical peel?
The IPL focuses energy in the deeper layers of skin to correct pigmentation. The chemical peel accelerates exfoliation and evens skin tone post treatment.
Will IPL make me look younger?
Unlike lasers, an IPL device sends out more than one wavelength of pulsating light. It can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time. After IPL, you may look younger because your skin tone is more even. And since the light doesn’t hurt other tissue, you can get better quickly.
How long after IPL can you have a facial?
Those can be spaced out, every three weeks or so, to achieve the desired aesthetic goals. A microdermabrasion facial may also be recommended 2 – 3 weeks after the final IPL treatment to remove dead skin cells and help reveal the revived layer of skin.
How soon after IPL can I get facial?
Perform a microdermabrasion facial 2 to 3 weeks after treatment with IPL. This protects and hydrates your skin while removing dead skin cells.
What is the most effective chemical peel?
The deep peel contains high concentrations of trichloroacetic acid, and it’s the most powerful of the chemical peels.
What is the best skin resurfacing treatment?
Laser skin resurfacing is the best option for most patients thanks to the relatively short treatment time, proven rejuvenating effects, and long-lasting results. Treatment is quick and involves little to no discomfort.
Does IPL boost collagen?
In the process of heating up your skin, IPL encourages the production of more collagen. It stimulates the natural process by which your body repairs all kinds of damage. Once produced, the collagen goes to work on improving the effects of sun damage and the other factors that make your skin look more age.
