Pre and post 1 PhotoFacial with Lumecca Peak IPL, she’s doing a series of 3 to get a more flawless complexion! Many people think IPL (and BBL both flashlamp broad band light technology just different acronyms) are Lasers since some offices and practitioners refer to them as such. I’m guessing it’s to simplify marketing and consults? Or maybe because many device platforms are designed to house and offer multiple technologies (for example our IPL is part of the Optimus Platform which also contains our Morpheus RF microneedling technology) with different handpieces and ports etc… . But, it’s actually a misnomer, Lasers are one coherent wavelength of light vs the flashlamp technology of IPL and BBL are the full spectrum of light with all wavelengths then filtered and narrowed to an area containing the desired wavelength/wavelengths. You can use Lasers and IPL together, I often for example do a CoolPeel with a PhotoFacial so I can improve texture and reduce red and brown for a more even skin tone the same day! If you’re interested in learning more about what IPL can do and what a treatment is like and how it works, check out the link in my bio from my last appearance on Carolina Women!
