Does your skin need some TLC? Have you noticed some hyperpigmentation and sun spots in your recent selfies, but no amount of moisturizing has fixed it? If you dream of smooth skin and a glowing complexion, intense pulsed light in St Paul (IPL) might be your new skincare best friend.
At Uplift Aesthetics, we offer powerful IPL treatments utilizing the Lumecca device to heal your damaged skin. If you’ve been thinking about IPL, read on to see signs you make a candidate for this treatment!
Sign 1: You’re Struggling With Sun Damage
It’s easy to forget how much impact the sun has on our skin. Sunlight exposes our skin to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can prematurely age our skin, causing wrinkles, age spots, spider veins, and red blotches.
If you’ve been enjoying the sunny St. Paul days without regularly applying sun protection, or if you spent years in the sun before developing a consistent routine, your skin likely has some sun damage. Whether moderate or severe, IPL therapy can target and reduce skin damage caused by the sun.
Sign 2: You Have Redness or Rosacea
Rosacea, a common skin condition, causes temporary or long-term redness on the face. This concern can enlarge blood vessels and even create minor bumps across the skin. People often have “flare-ups” of rosacea, where it suddenly manifests and keeps your skin red for weeks or months at a time—sometimes without a clear cause.
IPL can help calm and reduce rosacea by directly targeting the blood vessels that cause flushing. This offers you relief from the redness in a noninvasive, fast-acting way.
Sign 3: You’re Bothered by Uneven Skin Tone or Texture
We all want smooth and glowing skin, and there’s nothing wrong with that! But our skin tone or texture can end up flawed for many reasons—from sun damage to toxins to genetics.
With the power of IPL, you can enjoy a more even skin tone with a softer texture. This treatment stimulates production of healthy proteins like collagen, which improves your skin’s health by rebuilding structure and flexibility over time.
Sign 4: You Want a Non-Invasive, Low-Downtime Option
Nowadays, we never seem to have time to properly care for ourselves. From work, to family, to friends, few people can find time to schedule an intensive skincare procedure. Thankfully, IPL treatments offer a quick, non-invasive way to improve your skin without having to find hours and hours of time for treatment and recovery.
This virtually painless procedure requires minimal downtime. IPL doesn’t involve needles, cuts, or surgery, so you can refresh your skin without invasive procedures.
Sign 5: You’re Committed to Following a Skincare Routine
If you already follow a regular skincare routine, IPL may fit perfectly into your regimen. While IPL delivers outstanding results on its own, proper skin care and consistent sunscreen use prolong its benefits.
And if you still haven’t found the perfect products for your routine, our team at Uplift will help walk you through proper aftercare. We can even recommend skincare products specific to your skin type and concerns to help lock in your results from IPL.
The Glow-Up You Deserve With Intense Pulsed Light
In St. Paul, you should feel confident in your skin and love the reflection looking back at you in the mirror. At Uplift Aesthetics, provide the best possible care and results for our patients and help turn back the hands of time with IPL.
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, book a consultation for IPL to get started. And if you have questions, contact us, so we can help find you the answers you’ve been looking for!
