Everyone reading this blog is an expert at protecting their facial skin with mineral zinc-based sunscreens to block the harmful ultraviolet rays from sunlight to prevent wrinkles and sun damage. Right? But did you protect your arms and legs from the strong rays of the summer sun while out and about this summer relaxing by the pool, beach or boat? ....... We didn't think so! But that's ok, we've got you covered!
What we think we look like sunbathing, what we really look like sunbathing!
Introducing Intense Pulsed Light
An Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is an effective way to even out body skin complexion that has suffered from the direct rays of the sun, and has left areas of uneven pigment with large, pigmented patches, that we call "sunspots", "age spots" or "liver spots."
Renove Medical Spa has the most effective IPL system on the market, the American made Sciton system, to deliver the most effective yet gentle IPL for our patients. Sciton has trademarked their intense pulsed system as "broad band light", or BBL. With the Sciton BBL system, treatments are fast, easy and pigment is lifted gently and gradually over the course of the next 1-2 weeks. The Sciton system can reach deeper pigment better than any other IPL system currently available. So there is no reason to have skin like a pinto, when you can have skin like a palomino! (We love both pintos and all horses).
How Does IPL Work
The Sciton BBL utilizes light in the visible spectrum and is not a laser. Depending on the skin condition, different colors of light may be used to better target each individual skin concern. For example, the Sciton BBL can harness blue light to treat acne, cyan light to lift pigment, green light to target blood vessels on the face such as rosacea, orange light for hair removal, and red light for skin tightening!
To target pigment, we will apply a cooling gel to the area to be treated, to ensure the Sciton BBL light penetrates the skin and for comfort. Then the Sciton BBL handpiece is applied directly to the skin to deliver quick flashes of light. The melanin in the abnormally pigmented skin will absorb the delivered light energy, which forces that pigment to expand and be released from the deeper skin layers. This then allows the unwanted pigment to be naturally exfoliated and removed from the skin, leaving normal colored skin behind. Typical exfoliation time is one to two weeks, as pigment comes to the surface and flakes off gradually.
Who Can Be Treated with Intense Pulsed Light?
Since IPL targets pigment, whether normal or abnormal, IPL works best when there is a difference in color between normal and abnormal skin. Therefore, IPL works better on lighter skin that has darker unwanted pigment. It is very difficult to utilize IPL for darker skin tones safely, though Dr. Parsons is the only physician in the area who has the experience, knowledge and equipment to target unwanted pigment for those with darker skin tones safely. Dr. Parsons often treats those with a Mediterranean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian, Native American or on rare occasion African skin tones.

When Should I get an IPL Treatment to Remove Unwanted Pigment?
The month of October has traditionally been a popular time for our intense pulsed light treatments, as most sun damage occurs during the summer months, and most people have been more or less out of direct sun for the month of September. But IPL treatments can be done anytime year-round, as long as the skin is not too tanned or burned.
In honor of our patients who have opted to decrease their sun worshipping activities this fall, we at Renove Medical Spa have chosen to offer some of our best specials on IPL treatments during the month of October, to encourage continued self-care and promote healthy skin. Your skin will thank you! ALL IPL treatments, of ANY face or body area, will be discounted 30% during the month of October.
