What Is IPL?
IPL stands for intense pulsed light therapy, an advanced noninvasive skin treatment that uses BroadBand Light™ to break down unwanted pigmentation in the skin for a more even complexion. If you struggle with the way you look because of sun damage, age spots, rosacea, acne, broken blood vessels, or other forms of hyperpigmentation, you might be an ideal candidate for IPL therapy at FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery. As an added benefit, IPL stimulates collagen production in the skin to produce long-lasting results. In time, you should notice a healthier, uniform skin tone with fewer dark spots. To find out if you might benefit from IPL therapy, contact our Los Angeles, CA office and schedule a private consultation with plastic surgeon Dr. Cong Ivy Ran.
How Does IPL Therapy Work?
At FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery, we perform IPL therapy using the Lumenis® M22™, an advanced BroadBand Light device that delivers powerful results for patients of all skin tones. Before starting your IPL treatment at our Los Angeles, CA office, a member of our team will wash and dry your skin before applying a topical numbing solution to ensure you're comfortable throughout your procedure. After that, Dr. Ran will pass the Lumenis handheld applicator over your skin as it emits high-energy pulses of light to break up pigmentation. The process usually takes 20 – 30 minutes and requires no significant downtime. Afterward, you may have some skin sensitivity for a few hours, and any brown or red spots on your skin may temporarily darken. Once these effects pass, you should notice a more even complexion.
What Are the Benefits of IPL?
IPL treatments have grown in popularity over the years as more and more individuals seek out noninvasive options for brightening and refreshing the skin. A few of the benefits of IPL therapy include:
- Neutralizes hyperpigmentation and age spots
- Rejuvenates the skin for a lasting glow
- Improves the tone and texture of rough skin
- Treatments are short and require little to no downtime for recovery
FlowMD Aesthetic Center & Ran Plastic Surgery Reviews
Big shoutout to Dr. Ran! She's the real MVP who finally fixed my skin issues. I've seen other dermatologists before, but none could do what she did. Dr. Ran really listens to my needs and knows her stuff, making her someone I trust completely. I've done two treatments and been on meds for months now, and never been so satisfied with my skin. Lucky to have found such an awesome doc!
I had a few consultations with different doctors when deciding on a big procedure and I'm so glad I chose Dr Ran! She does wonderful work and took time making sure I understood everything. I was very comfortable with her expertise and my results have made me incredibly happy! It was a much smoother process than I imagined and I will definitely continue to consult Dr Ran for future procedures.
I recommend plastic surgeon Dr. Ran. From the initial consultation, she was kind and cooperative until the final result. I am still waiting to see the final results and make adjustments...but the doctor, as she said, from the beginning, cares about the patient until the end, trying to help him as much as possible. All love and respect for her."
Great experience! We first had a comprehensive discussion about my concerns and goals. Dr. Ran tailored her treatment recommendation based on this and she throughly discussed the differences between multiple approaches, which helped me better decide which was best for me. I’m super happy with the outcome!
Dr Ran is very professional and she answers your questions into very details. All staffs there are warm and welcoming.
