How long will the skin retain the improvements delivered by IPL Photofacial?
An investigation that appeared in Dermatologic Surgery and that spanned five years answered this question. In the study, eighty patients of various skin tones received IPL treatments to combat the signs of aging. Investigators took photos of the participants and measured the patients self-perceived improvements in skin texture and hypopigmentation after the IPL treatments. The volunteers had received an average of three IPL treatments. Four years after the treatments, 83% of the participants could still see an improvement in skin smoothness while 79% witnessed an improvement in hyperpigmentation clearing. The Journal of Cutaneous Laser Therapy featured a study that reviewed how well IPL treatments promote new collagen growth. New collagen growth is essential for filling acne scar indentations and smoothing damaged skin.
