An Introduction

All year long your skin has to defend itself against environmental influences — and every day you are exposed to damaging light from the sun and other sources. If you have been looking for a comfortable, safe, and effective laser facial, you can turn to Natural Results in Scottsdale, AZ. With Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photo Rejuvenation by Quanta Systems, this laser technology destroys the upper layer of the skin to prompt the skin to regenerate. This new skin growth results in a younger and invigorated appearance. It may also significantly reduce mild acne scars and other skin irregularities. Laser facials may also be used not only on the face but also the neck, chest, and hands.

01
The Treatment

What to Expect During IPL

Photo rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure. With IPL, the doctor utilizes pulses of light strong enough to damage skin lesions and initiates a healing process that will start production of new skin tissues. Typically, a cold gel is applied to the skin to help with any discomfort. The eyes are also protected from the intense light. The treatment may only last less than 30 minutes — extended exposure to the laser may cause complications. Patients are able to return to their normal routine after a few hours.

02
Before Treatment

Pre-Treatment Preparation

It is recommended for patients scheduled for an IPL photo treatment to refrain from tanners and exposure to sun 1 month prior to the schedule. There are also medications that must be avoided — such as minocycline, tetracycline, doxycycline, or Retin-A/Renova — a few weeks before.
