Arizona IPL Treatment

Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is a new way to reduce pigment discolorations and minimize the appearance of varicose veins. The treatment is also known as a photofacial and is gaining in popularity as a method of skin rejuvenation. The procedure is performed by licensed clinical aestheticians who use a hand-held device to deliver concentrated doses of IPL directly onto the problem areas.

Once the beams hit the skin, they penetrate deep down to the lower layers, while leaving the upper layers unmarked. The IPL beams deliver heat to the problem areas, causing the very nature of the pigment to change. The pigment will become lighter, and that lightening process will escalate over the course of several visits. Eventually, the pigment will be completely bleached and will match the surface of the rest of the skin. Skin will look renewed, rejuvenated and more youthful.

IPL Treatments for a Variety of Skin Problems

For spider vein treatment, the IPL beams are directed at the offending blood vessels. The heat from the treatment causes the blood vessels to shrink, which drastically reduces the appearance of the spider veins. In most cases, IPL treatments take less than an hour to perform, and permanent results can be seen in just a few visits.

Photofacials are pain-free and safe for nearly everyone. NuU Medspa offers this procedure at a dozen locations throughout the Chicago area and Arizona, including Glendale. Other procedures are also offered, such as skin tightening, laser hair removal, wrinkle reduction and more.
