Fall is the perfect time to slough off dead skin and reverse some of the sun damage from Summer. We caught up with Dr Rivkin M.D. to find out more about his IPL Photofacials.
Dr Rivkin’s IPL Photofacial utilizes Intense Pulsed Light for a gentle treatment that is safe, painless, and requires no significant recovery time. IPL sends light through the skin to target the undesirable tissue, and leaves the surrounding tissue unharmed. The process is gradual and, therefore, more gentle than traditional laser therapies. The IPL Photofacial treats many skin conditions including:
• Rosacea
• Age spots (liver spots)
• Enlarged pores
• Visible blood vessels
• Unwanted freckles
• Sun damage
The treatment normally takes about five sessions and results begin to appear after one or two sessions. IPL targets red or brown skin cells and destroys them while leaving the surrounding lighter cells unharmed. During this process, collagen production is stimulated, rejuvenating the skin, shrinking pores, and filling in fine lines and indentations. The result is healthier, younger looking skin.
Our team works closely with Dr Alexander Rivkin M.D. and would be happy to refer you to him or help with advice on whether IPL Photofacial is right for you. Please feel free to drop us a line at facialbungalow@gmail.com or call 323-570-2664
