IPL/Chemical peel?

June 26, 2008

Many people heard about these 2 kinds of treatment but, is it suitable for all kind of people?

The IPL is mean Intensed Pulsed Light. The pulses of light produced by IPL equipment are very short in duration, so discomfort and damage to non-target tissues is minor. Most people who undergo IPL epilation only experience slight irritation similar to that of a minor sunburn though under certain circumstances, blisters may occur. IPL technology is employed in the treatment of medical disorders of the skin including sun damage induced dyspigmentation and vascular changes; poikiloderma of Civatte; acne Rosacea; broken capillaries/telangiectases; vascular and pigmented birth marks. It can also use for hair removal. Pregnant women are not recommended to perform this kind of treatment.

Chemical peel is a treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the skin to have some chemical effect and eventually peel off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. This treatment also can use to treat mild acne and minor acne scar. It can also aggrevate the removal of the dead skin. It can reduce the dullness of your skin and make your more even in the skin tone. Chemical peel usually use the AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid) or BHA(Beta hydroxy acid) as the main ingredient.

Before to thing about which treatment is benefit to your skin. You need to make sure you are not allergy to sun light or acid. The it’s better for you to find a dermatologist to choose the right treament and perform the treatment for you.

    I had the IPL 5 weeks ago and my skin is extremely red and very painful.
    Any feed back would be very helpful.

    Is it the first time you try the IPL treatment? Do you have any history of skin irritation after sun exposure? Is the machine was managed by a physician or qualified person??
    It’s better for you to stop all the skin products you are using right now. I’ll suggest you to using some really mild cleansing agents, e.g. Cetaphil and using Aqueous cream as your daily moisturizer for meanwhile. If the skin condition persist, pls consult a dermatologist for more opinions.
