Michiana Eye Center & Facial Plastic Surgery is pleased to now be offering one of the newest and most effective options to treat a wide range of photo-aging and skin conditions, including brown spots, redness, sun damage, large pores, flushing, rosacea, acne and acne scarring. This treatment, known as "Photo Rejuvenation" is non-invasive and provides impressive results with NO DOWNTIME. Technology We are utilizing the IPL Quantum SR (by Lumenis), regarded as the industry leader for technology, effectiveness, comfort and safety How It Works IPL (short for Intense Pulsed Light) machines selectively deliver desired wavelengths of light, allowing the doctor and staff to customize these wavelengths to target specific blood vessels or skin components for treatment. The flexibility of the IPL Quantum allows for complete customization to pinpoint your treatment: Multiple wavelength settings Multiple synchronized pulse durations options Larger light beam size allowing for faster treatment and deeper light penetration Integrated surface cooling makes treatment safe and comfortable The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating pigmented lesions damaging them. The body's natural processes then remove the injured tissue giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance. Photo Rejuvenation provides gradual improvement in 3-5 treatments and is safe enough for application on the neck, chest and hands. Who is a Candidate? IPL Skin Treatments at Michiana Eye Center and Facial Plastic Surgery are ideal for anyone wanting to address skin conditions and pigmentations caused by aging and years of sun exposure, as well as specific skin conditions such as rosacea or acne.
