Dive into the magical world of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) with Dr. Foley and the Foley Vision Center staff! We introduce our fabulous master laser aesthetician Gabby, and we welcome back Laura from Cyanosure to talk about all the wonderful benefits of IPL that you can take advantage of!
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is a photofacial laser treatment that targets pigmentation and vascular lesions, such as in facial and ocular rosacea. IPL breaks up unwanted lesions and signals the body to absorb and erase brown spots, sun damage, and abnormal feeder vessels in a natural, non-surgical way. Ocular rosacea is a heavy hitter in aggravating ocular surface disease and dry eye, and Oregon has the highest concentration of people with facial/ocular rosacea in the country! IPL will shrink and eliminate inflammatory feeder vessels from the ocular surface while also reducing inflammation, eliminating demodex, and rejuvenating the oil glands.
IPL is also wonderful for skin revitalization! There is relatively no downtime, low discomfort, and each treatment is fast and easy. Gabby uses the Skintel® Melanin Reader™ to make measure the device’s settings are personalized to your melanin index for the best results.
The Icon device that operates IPL also has other functions such as laser hair removal, scar/stretch mark removal, and wrinkle reduction. Foley Vision Center offers free consultations with Gabby to develop a personalized treatment package that will accomplish all your dry eye and/or aesthetic goals.
