IPL Photofacial Near Washington DC

Beaux Arts offers intensed pulsed light technology that delivers energy to target and destroy vascular and pigmented lesions associated with spider veins, reticular veins, rosacea, telangiectasias, hemangiomas, sun damage, age spots, dyschromia, melasma, poikiloderma, and angiomas from hands, legs, chest, arms and face.   The Beaux Arts MaxG IPL is one of the most powerful IPL available, giving more dramatic results after just one treatment.

Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, these treatments target different chromophores in the skin, which selectively absorb the laser or light energy as heat and yield the desired response. These optimal wavelengths of light clear vascular and pigmented lesions by targeting the chromophores of hemoglobin (for vascular lesions) and melanin (for pigmented lesions). These damaged lesions are then cleared by the body, removing the appearance of the lesion from the skin. Pigmented lesions undergo a mild desquamation and slough off within two or three days, while the vascular lesions blanch and then resolve within 10 to 14 days.

The MaxG IPL treatment is an excellent choice for patients of lighter skin with melasma, sun damage, age spots, and rosacea.  The full face, hands, decollete and neck can be treated for a more youthful and even complexion.
