Intense Pulsed Light Therapy in Texarkana

By channeling heat from a laser into your skin, our estheticians can trigger your body’s natural healing responses. This helps boost your collagen production while addressing specific treatment areas with the device’s advanced targeting system. Using the Stellar M22 by Lumenis, we can treat your skin concerns with its multiple technologies.

For general texture and tone concerns, the Stellar M22 offers a fractional laser treatment. Working sequentially, the combination of IPL and ResurFX technology improves the overall appearance of the skin through collagen boosting.

To treat more chronic conditions like acne, this device has a gentler setting that can remove bacteria from your skin. These wavelengths also help reduce redness in the skin as a result of blemishes or acne scarring. Other pigmentation concerns like rosacea often improve in just a few sessions of intense pulsed light therapy in Texarkana.

Yes, it is! Thanks to the advancements in aesthetic technology, you can use our laser device no matter your skin’s type and tone. Throughout your treatment, our esthetician changes the filter and lightguards used depending on what exactly you are trying to treat. This ensures that you receive only the wavelengths you need with each pass of the laser.

With the Stellar M22, your treatment requires fewer passes, protecting your skin from potential burns. On top of that, we reduce your overall discomfort by numbing your treatment area(s) before your session begins. Rather than inject you with anesthetics, we use the same chiller technology you’ll find in cryo therapy.

Every patient has unique aesthetic goals—so your treatment will vary based on what you are trying to treat. In your initial consultation, our team examines your skin and discusses what you want out of our treatment. Once we have a customized plan in mind for you, we can estimate whether you will need 3 or 4 packaged sessions.

After completing your course of intense pulsed light therapy in Texarkana, you can keep your results permanently so long as you maintain them. This means staying out of the sun whenever possible. Gaining UV damage is one of the most common ways that patients lose their IPL outcomes. If your skin’s texture or tone starts to become uneven again, let us know and we can book you for another packaged treatment.

Avoid aspirin and other blood-thinning medications, including vitamin E and fish oil. Talk to your primary care physician if you are taking any of these medications as prescriptions. We may ask that you temporarily stop taking these substances so they do not interfere with the treatment.

Do not smoke tobacco products within 6 weeks of your appointment date. Starting 2 days before treatment and then for another 2 days after, do not use retinoid products on your skin. During this time, you should also be hydrating as much as possible to ensure proper healing. Wear sunscreen every day to prevent sun damage.

Once you have completed your IPL treatment, do not exfoliate your skin, as this can cause irritation. Avoid harsh skincare products for at least 7 days. You may gently cleanse your skin with lukewarm water during the first week after your visit.

Do not take hot baths or showers for 2 days following your IPL therapy. Continue to avoid direct sunlight and wear sunscreen whenever you plan to go outside. Steer clear of strenuous exercise until 2 days have passed after your treatment.
