It’s the Right Time For Intense Pulsed Light Treatments

Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is a non-laser, non-invasive way to improve the tone and texture of your skin. It works by using scattered and unfocused light wavelengths to penetrate through the layers of your skin and reduce the appearance of brown spots, liver spots, freckles, spider veins on your nose and chest, and even fine lines and wrinkles.

This winter is the ideal time to begin your IPL skin treatment plan at Cosmetic Laser Centers℠. Check out these nine reasons why, and request a consultation at one of our practice locations.

You Can Avoid Concealer Clumps or Flakes

Winter weather and your home’s heating system dry out the air and your skin. When you apply concealer on top of dehydrated skin, you’re often left with the appearance of clumps or flakes, even if you blend and set your makeup. You can skip the concealer this winter when you reduce the appearance of sun spots or other kinds of hyperpigmentation with an IPL skin treatment plan.

You’re Less Likely to Have a Sunburn During the Winter

You can’t receive IPL skin treatments if you have tanned skin or an existing sunburn, common summer skin conditions. During the winter, you’re less likely to have spent time outdoors long enough to tan or burn, making the coldest season one of the best times to get IPL.

Your Skin May Be Lighter During the Winter

IPL treatment doesn’t work well on darker skin tones, making winter the ideal time to receive it. Because your summer tan will have faded before your treatment begins, you are more likely to qualify for IPL to improve the tone and texture of your skin.

You’ll Look Your Best For Spring Fashion

Because IPL addresses signs of photoaging, including tone and texture changes, you can have smoother, more even skin on your face, neck, hands, décolletage, or anywhere else on your body. If you get IPL treatment this winter, you’ll be ready to don your favorite sun dress or tank top to show off your younger-looking skin. In fact, you could begin to see results in as little as two weeks if you’re receiving IPL for sun damage.

You’ll Have Plenty Of Time to Finish Your IPL Treatment Plan Before Warm Weather Arrives

IPL is more gentle on skin, so you may need more sessions than types of laser procedures to achieve comparable results. Starting your treatment this winter leaves you with plenty of time to complete your plan before it’s time to show off your newfound confidence.

You’ll Be Ready For Family Photos In the Spring or Summer

When you complete an IPL skin treatment plan during the winter, your face, chest, neck, or hands, you can smile and pose with confidence in your coordinated family outfits, knowing you look more like yourself again.

You Can Add IPL to Your Holiday Wish List

You don’t want more “stuff” to put in your home, and as an adult, you probably already make purchases when a need arises. IPL skin treatments take up no space in your home and make an ideal gift. When you add it to your wish list, be sure to tell your friends and family that you’re planning to get this skin treatment at Cosmetic Laser Centers in Pittsburgh and Warrendale.

You’ll Start the New Year On a Positive Note

A new year is a time for change and personal growth. If your goal is to improve your self-confidence and feel like the best version of yourself, IPL treatment may help you achieve it. When you begin IPL during the winter, you’ll start the new year with refreshed skin and a refreshed outlook.
