IPL/Intense Pulsed Light

 

Our facial skin is constantly exposed to harsh conditions that can severely affect how it looks and feels. It may develop a dull look in addition to sunspots, moles, and skin patches that look either darker or lighter than the skin in the area. There are creams that you can use to address these issues to some extent, but in order to achieve the best results, you should consider intense pulsed light therapy.

What is Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a skin treatment designed to reduce the appearance of damage to the skin caused by exposure to the outside environment. This innovative technology can help produce youthful skin that’s firmer and has an even tone and texture. It’s a safe cosmetic treatment that does not require surgery or a long period of recovery time.

IPL can treat sun damage, rosacea, and help fade scars. It can also be used for hair reduction. Each treatment is customized to fit the need of each individual. Treatment sessions vary from person to person, but each session can take as little as 15 minutes depending on the area treated.

Are You A Candidate For Intense Pulsed Light Therapy?

Intense pulsed light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive, and safe treatment that can be used on many different skin types. If your skin has begun to show damage from years of unprotected sun exposure, harsh cleansers, and the natural aging process, you can correct these issues in no time with IPL.

How Much Does Intense Pulsed Light Therapy Cost?

IPL therapy is customized to fit the needs of each individual. We’ll assess the quality of your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals during the consultation to develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs. After we have decided on the best plan of action, we’ll discuss the cost of your individualized IPL treatment. We also provide affordable payment options with financing from GreenSky.

✨ @drgeria was recently featured in the article by @livestrong_com where he shared his opinion on the use of dry shampoo.

👎Dry shampoo can be a convenient hair care product, its frequent and improper use may have some potential drawbacks.

🫧It should not replace regular hair washing entirely, as it doesn`t cleanse the scalp as effectively as traditional shampoo and water.

👉Overuse of dry shampoo can lead to product buildup, clogged hair follicles, and a dry scalp.

❗️Dr. Geria recommends using dry shampoo sparingly and recommends washing your hair regularly to maintain scalp health and prevent potential issues.

🩸Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge medical procedure that harnesses the healing power of your own blood.

💉It involves drawing a small sample of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial components, and then injecting this PRP back into the body at targeted areas.

👨‍⚕️PRP is widely used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, dentistry, and aesthetics.

💆‍♂️💆‍♀️It’s particularly popular in dermatology and hair restoration for its ability to stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cell regeneration, promoting healthier skin and hair growth.

👍Benefits of PRP for hair restoration:

✨Stimulates hair growth.
✨Strengthens existing hair.
✨Improves hair thickness and density.
✨Enhances overall hair health.
✨Minimizes hair loss.

❓Did you know?

👉Consuming a diet that is rich in sugar and heavily processed foods can potentially have a significant impact on skin health and lead to the development of skin inflammation.

👎Processed foods often contain high levels of refined sugars, which can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. This triggers the release of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar, but can also have pro-inflammatory effects.

🙅‍♀️Chronic consumption of excessive sugars and processed carbohydrates may contribute to a state of chronic inflammation, which is believed to be a contributing factor to the exacerbation of skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

🥦In contrast, opting for a diet rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, provides the body with the necessary building blocks for healthy skin.

👍These foods supply essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support the skin`s natural defense mechanisms and minimize the risk of inflammation-related skin issues.

✨Therefore, making mindful dietary choices can contribute to maintaining clear, vibrant, and healthy skin.
