How Does the Cynosure IPL MaxG Work?
IPL laser treatment is similar to laser therapy; however, a few key differences exist between the two. Mainly, Cynosure IPL MaxG laser treatment uses multiple wavelengths of light energy versus laser therapy, which utilizes only one.
These multiple wavelengths target pigmented or damaged skin cells and remove or reduce their appearance. When targetted, the light heats cells in the skin, causing them to break down. The removal of these broken-down cells is left to the natural processes of the body.
Since IPL treatment is less focused than traditional laser therapy, it can penetrate the second layer of the skin without damaging the first. This means less overall damage to the skin and a better experience throughout the treatment.
Why Choose Cynosure IPL MaxG Treatments?
With multiple wavelengths, IPL laser treatment can target larger areas of the skin. While it can technically be used anywhere on the body, it works best on areas that are even.
Clients with lighter skin tones will notice better results. When used for hair removal, those with darker hair will notice tremendous results.
IPL laser is a non-invasive treatment option. Like laser therapy, IPL laser treatment feels slightly to moderately uncomfortable for many clients, while others may describe it as slightly painful. Unlike other treatments, results tend to take up to several weeks to show.
