Photofacial IPLin New York City

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) is a non-invasive photofacial laser that treats facial and body pigment issues. Photofacial IPL uses short pulses of filtered light to treat sun damage, acne scars, brown spots, rosacea, unwanted dark hair, spider veins, and hyperpigmentation.

The IPL laser can address any part of the body, face, neck, chest, hands, back, legs, and torso. Isolated areas of the body or numerous segments can be treated in one session. IPL utilizes controlled short pulses of filtered light which isolates specific wavelengths of visible light that stimulates new collagen production under the epidermis to achieve photorejuvenation to your skin. The intense pulsed light device can be adjusted to treat a broad range of skin problems. IPL works because the isolated light energy is absorbed by pigment in the skin or in blood vessels and by heating melanin in the skin the pigmented cells are eliminated.

IPL Treatment in NYC with Dr. Joel Kopelman

Dr. Kopelman is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in laser skin resurfacing and other advanced cosmetic laser skin treatments. During your consultation, Dr. Kopelman will determine whether an photofacial IPL treatment is ideal to help you improve your skin or whether he believes there are better options suited for you.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a quick office procedure that can address capillaries, pigment, and facial aging with no downtime.

IPL Laser Treatment Procedure

An IPL laser treatment is a gentle laser resurfacing procedure that takes approximately 30 minutes and will require no downtime. Dr. Kopelman recommends 1 to 3 treatments scheduled over a few weeks in order to get the full benefit of the photofacial.

During the IPL treatment you will be provided with eye shields to protect you from the high energy beams and a cooling gel will be applied to the area being addressed. There is limited pain when exposed to the intense light therapy. After the treatment you may experience mild swelling and inflammation, which will soon resolve as you start to see the tone of your skin becomes more even with an increase in the smoothness. You may need to apply makeup for a few days after the treatment until you skin resumes its natural appearance and the inflammation from the procedure decreases.

What can I expect following IPL therapy?

Immediately following IPL treatment your skin will appear flushed or pink. The nurse will apply ice compresses to the area to reduce mild swelling. In most cases you will not experience significant discomfort during or after the treatment. If you do, we will apply topical lidocaine cream to diminish the discomfort and in rare instances we will administer oral pain medication. You may apply make-up immediately following treatment.

How many IPL treatments will be necessary?

Dr. Kopelman and his aesthetic nursing staff will assess your skin and make recommendations based upon the severity and number of skin conditions present. Typically a series of three treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are needed to achieve good results. Hair reduction treatment requires several treatment sessions over many months and ongoing “touch- up” treatments. By dividing IPL treatment sessions over several weeks to months you will experience a gradual improvement with lower risk and you may return to your daily routine immediately. Compared to invasive laser therapies, IPL is a perfect treatment option for a busy person who has little time to recover.

When will I see the beneficial effects of IPL?

IPL may take several sessions to achieve your aesthetic goals. The results are not instantaneous. Pigmentation that has been treated may at first appear darker. After about a week the dark skin will shed off like a scab and the original dark spot will have disappeared or will be lighter. Spider veins may take two to three weeks before you see a reduction in the number of vessels. Hair reduction will take several sessions and weeks before you see a significant difference.

Are there any patients who should postpone an IPL treatment?

Treatment is contraindicated during pregnancy, if you have a sun tan and if IPL is performed on the face no active infections or cold sores should be present unless treated with the appropriate drugs.

REVIEWS

Dr. Kopelman is an outstanding surgeon and a wonderful person. He definitely gives you a lot of confidence to give you a fresh, youthful appearance! I highly recommend Dr. Kopelman and I personally would only use him!!!

I have known Dr. Kopelman for more than 20 years. He is an extremely competent & talented surgeon. I had a facelift and my eyes done and really feel younger. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of either cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.

I have known Dr. Kopelman for fifteen years and would not trade him for any other plastic surgeon. He has been there when I needed help with cuts to my face and sunken cheeks. Never too much, always aesthetically gentle and well balanced. He is an artist with a great depth of skills and knowledge and an easygoing manner. He is a treasure in a world of plastic surgery, where so much can go wrong!

I was so happy to have found Dr. Kopelman. He really made me feel very comfortable in his hands, his bedside manner is top-notch, and his staff were wonderful too. I am truly happy with the fabulous results from my blepharoplasty and browlift. I could not thank him enough!
