IPL Treatment

Intense Pulsed Light

About

Men and women looking to fight the signs of aging, refresh their skin, and remove unwanted hair should consider IPL treatment! At O’Neill Plastic Surgery in Charleston, we offer the intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments to target problem areas and give our patients a renewed, youthful look.

The Cynosure (formally Palomar Icon) IPL technology uses optimal wavelengths of light to target certain chromophores in the skin to improve the color of the skin, correct some sun damage, correct uneven skin pigment, and eliminate unsightly facial vessels. Treatments are performed by our certified laser specialists. With these treatments, you will be able to see effects on different parts of your body, and for different issues, such as:

  • Rosacea
  • Stretch marks
  • Wrinkles
  • Age spots
  • Sun damage
  • Brown spots
  • Facial vessels
  • Uneven skin tones
  • Hair

Your IPL Treatment

During IPL treatment, wavelengths of light are sent to specific areas of the skin in order to restore a more youthful appearance and eliminate or reduce those problem spots.

IPL treatments are minimally invasive and generally take less than thirty minutes. Typically patients only experience minimal discomfort and redness afterward and can return to their daily resume quickly after their appointment. Some patients have expressed feeling a small amount of pain, similar to a sunburn, but this can be easily reduced or prevented through minor medications and other methods used during your scheduled treatment.
