Photorejuvenationfor a youthful complexion - Montreal Dermatologist, Dr. Manish Khanna
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Restores your Skin’s Youthful Complexion.
IPL is an innovative, non-invasive rejuvenation technique which involves pulsations of light passing through the skin. It is non-ablative; meaning no skin is removed. It is a highly effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions, for both males and females, and can be used effectively on the face, neck, chest and hands.
This breakthrough treatment involves directing energy of the correct fluency and wavelength to the treatment area by gently placing a smooth glass surface on your skin; pulses of light are then applied . The energy is delivered to both superficial and deep layers of the skin, sparing the epidermis. The result is an exfoliation of damaged skin coupled with the stimulation of collagen production on the skin’s surface. The “no-downtime” feature is greatly appreciated by clients/patients.
Not everyone is a candidate for IPL Therapy. Only a qualified dermatologist can determine if you are eligible for treatment.

Most Commonly Treated Conditions
Benign Vascular Lesions – Broken Veins and Capillaries
Over time, various factors such as chronological aging, trauma, sun exposure and lifestyle choices could cause the tiny blood vessels called capillaries to break. This results in red streaks or a blotchy appearance on the face.
Imperfections Caused by Sun Exposure
The harmful effects of the sun could result in pigmentation changes in the skin. Commonly referred to as sun spots or brown spots, this unwanted pigmentation is typically most visible on the face, chest, neck & hands. IPL technology works by improving both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, thereby rejuvenating the skin. A series of treatments will result in a significant reduction in the appearance of sun spots, and in smoother, revitalized skin.
Symptoms of Rosacea
Dilated blood vessels and chronic flushing are symptomatic of a condition called rosacea. This condition can cause pimples and/or blisters on the nose and cheeks. Individuals suffering from this red-faced appearance can be successfully treated by IPL without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.
