Wrinkles are a part of the aging process, but the lack of glow in your skin drives the issue home. Maybe that smooth texture is gone, or discolorations in the form of the appropriately named age spots have formed.
If your skin has lost its youthful vitality and leans more toward dull and mottled these days, the good news is that we can make it shine again using the power of light.
At Skin Shop Med Spa, Dr. Tiffany Su and our team spend most of our time researching the best anti-aging tools, which is how we design our extensive offerings. When we came across the exciting Venus® ILP (intense-pulsed light) technology, we knew we had a great tool for rejuvenating tired skin.
In 2023 alone, more than 3.1 million IPL procedures helped millions reach their cosmetic goals.
Here’s what this non-invasive technology can do to help your skin glow again.
Most of the visible changes in your skin as you age — a whopping 90% — are attributable to photoaging, which is the cumulative effect that sun exposure can have on your skin.
While wrinkles and fine lines are certainly part of that equation, so are areas of hyperpigmentation. Appropriately named age spots, these discolorations result from sun exposure and occur when melanin clumps together.
Age spots typically develop on your hands and your face — two areas of your body that see a lot of sun.
Another way the sun can lead to new additions on your face is through facial veins. Medically known as telangiectasia, these veins are enlarged capillaries that form on the heels of sun exposure, aging, and hormonal changes. These facial veins often form across your nose and cheeks, putting them front and center.
The good news is that if you’re dealing with sun-damaged and blotchy skin, we have a fantastic tool that can clear away the damage to allow healthier skin to glow from below.
To remove the unwelcome additions to your face, we turn to our Venus IPL photorejuvenation technology. Using Venus, we deliver short bursts of light energy into your skin to break apart surface concerns like vascular lesions (facial veins) and age spots.
With IPL, we can banish the blemishes that have built up on your skin, giving your skin a more even and smooth texture — that same smooth texture you had when you were younger.
Our Venus IPL treatments are non-invasive, and side effects are usually confined to slight redness after the procedure if there are any side effects at all. Depending upon what we’re tackling, you might benefit from one or a series of Venus photorejuvenation treatments.
We invite you to contact our Houston, Texas, office to schedule an appointment today if you’d like to see how photorejuvenation can make your skin glow with youth and vitality again.
