What Can Be Treated

Pigmented Lesions

• Sun spots (solar lentigines)

• Age spots

• Freckles

• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

• Uneven skin tone

Vascular Lesions

• Facial redness

• Rosacea-associated flushing

• Broken capillaries (telangiectasias)

• Cherry angiomas

• Spider veins (face and body)

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Comprehensive Tone Correction

How It Works

IPL delivers broad-spectrum light energy that is selectively absorbed by pigment (melanin) and hemoglobin in the skin. The light converts to heat, breaking down unwanted pigment and collapsing superficial blood vessels while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.

Over time, the body naturally clears the treated pigment and vascular debris, revealing brighter, clearer skin.

Best For

• Diffuse sun damage

• Brown spots and freckles

• Facial redness

• Mild rosacea

• Overall photorejuvenation

What to Expect

• Treatment time: 20–45 minutes

• Mild warmth or snapping sensation

• Minimal downtime

• Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before flaking off

• Redness typically resolves within hours

A series of 3–4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal correction.

Long Pulse Nd:YAG Laser

Precision Treatment for Deeper Vascular Lesions

How It Works

The 1064nm wavelength of the Long Pulse Nd:YAG penetrates deeper into the skin, specifically targeting hemoglobin within blood vessels. The laser energy heats and coagulates the vessel, which is then gradually reabsorbed by the body.

Because of its deeper penetration and safety profile, Nd:YAG is particularly effective for vascular concerns that IPL may not adequately address.

Best For

• Larger or deeper facial vessels

• Spider veins

• Cherry angiomas

• Resistant vascular lesions

• Patients with darker skin tones

What to Expect

• Treatment time: 15–45 minutes

• Brief warming or snapping sensation

• Mild redness or swelling post-treatment

• Minimal disruption to daily activities

Most vascular lesions improve within 1–3 sessions, depending on size and depth.

Choosing the Right Technology

Both IPL and Long Pulse Nd:YAG are powerful tools — but the correct modality depends on the nature of the lesion:

• Surface pigment & diffuse redness → IPL

• Deeper vessels & resistant vascular lesions → Nd:YAG

In some cases, combination therapy provides the most comprehensive correction.

During your consultation at Ageless Aesthetics, a detailed skin assessment determines the safest and most effective

treatment plan tailored to your individual skin biology.

Ideal Candidates

You may be a strong candidate if you:

• Have visible sun damage or uneven pigmentation

• Experience facial redness or flushing

• Notice broken capillaries or small visible vessels

• Desire clearer, more even-toned skin

• Are in good overall health

Candidacy is determined during consultation to ensure appropriate settings and optimal outcomes, particularly for patients with darker skin tones or melasma.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?
Most pigment concerns respond in 1–3 sessions, while diffuse sun damage may require a series. Vascular lesions typically improve within 1–3 treatments.

Is there downtime?
Minimal. Temporary redness is common. Pigmented spots may darken briefly before naturally exfoliating.

Are results permanent?
Treated lesions typically do not return. However, new sun damage or vascular changes can develop over time without maintenance and sun protection.

Is it painful?
Most patients tolerate treatment well. Cooling methods enhance comfort.

Can IPL treat melasma?
Melasma requires careful evaluation. In some cases, IPL may worsen melasma, and alternative treatments may be recommended.

Contraindications

Treatment may be postponed or contraindicated in individuals with:

• Active sunburn or recent tanning

• Pregnancy

• Active infection at the treatment site

• Photosensitizing medications

• Certain autoimmune or healing disorders

• Uncontrolled melasma (for IPL specifically)

A thorough consultation ensures safe and appropriate treatment selection.
