Skin rejuvenation has becoming a huge topic in Los Angeles, CA today and the options are limitless. From a simple beauty cream or fillers like Juvederm or Radiesse. They even go as far as having to go “under the knife” to look 10 years younger. Someone had asked us regarding laser skin rejuvenating techniques FRAXEL and IPL and which one is best?
IPL, or otherwise known as a photofacial, is a great tool to treat redness of the skin and slight discoloration. FRAXEL, on the other hand, is designed to treat an array of skin issues. FRAXEL is most effective at skin resurfacing, improving skin texture, pigmentation and shrinking pores, whereas IPL improves only skin color of the skin. Compared to other lasers, FRAXEL treatment is also effective at treating acne scars.
FRAXEL is a much more powerful procedure compared to and IPL treatment. Results from a FRAXEL treatment can be seen in as little as 1-3 treatments (depending on severity). An IPL procedure can take up to 5 or more sessions to see full or near desired results. On the plus side, and IPL still excels in treating discoloration compared to to FRAXEL but for anything more major, FRAXEL may be your best option.
