3 Facts About Photorejuvenation
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is one of the first laser treatments you will learn during cosmetic laser training.
Here are three facts you will learn about photorejuvenation that will make you a successful cosmetic laser technician in the medical aesthetics industry.
Facts About Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation requires no post-treatment downtime
You will see firsthand during cosmetic laser training that IPL is a relatively gentle skin treatment. It uses a type of light that is absorbed by brown and red pigment in both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin – commonly called the epidermis and the dermis. The surface heat coming off the IPL feels a bit like a sunburn, but top IPL tools feature chilled crystal for cooling and protecting the skin’s surface. When an IPL treatment is done right, these sensations fade within a few hours, and clients can go about their day with no downtime.
Cosmetic laser techs can use IPL to treat a variety of skin conditions after laser training
Students who have completed cosmetic laser training at National Laser Institute have gone on to launch careers in medical spas, plastic surgeon or dermatologist’s offices, spas, gyms or even own their own business. In all of these environments, photorejuvenation technology can be used to treat a variety of skin issues.
When you become a cosmetic laser tech, you can tell clients that IPL is an effective medical aesthetic treatment for reducing melasma, uneven skin texture, broken capillaries, large pores, acne scars and more!
IPL can be used for areas other than the face
Photorejuvenation treatments are commonly referred to as “photofacials,” which is why many clients believe IPL is a face-only treatment. After you receive your laser technician certification, you will be able to use IPL as an effective treatment for problem skin almost anywhere on the body! Common treatment areas include the back, chest, neck, arms and hands.
