Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a patented fluorescent pulsed-light technology that effectively treats facial redness, flushing, and brown spots or pigment problems on your face, neck, and chest. By carefully delivering a series of gentle light pulses to the skin, IPL treatments restore a more youthful appearance with no downtime, little discomfort, and minimal risk.

Number of Treatments

5 treatments are recommended

Treatment Areas

Face, neck, chest

Treatment Time

15 minutes to 1 hour

Recovery Time

2 to 3 hours

Potential Side Effects

During the treatment, some patients experience mild discomfort that can be addressed with a topical anesthetic. Following each treatment, the skin may appear flushed, tiny vessels may be more visible, and brown spots may appear darker. These effects decrease in a few hours.

How much does IPL cost in Columbus, Ohio?

$$$

You will experience smoother skin, smaller pores, and fading of sun spots as well as a gradual decrease in the overall redness and flushing in your face, neck, or chest. If you suffer from rosacea, a common vascular problem, IPL treatments can improve your symptoms significantly.

Considerations:

During an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, some patients may experience mild discomfort. This sensation is most often described as a rubber band snap, is short lived and generally tolerable. Following each IPL treatment, the skin may appear flushed, tiny blood vessels may appear more visible and brown spots may appear darker. These effects decrease in a few hours. Your result will be assessed at a four week follow up appointment.

The brown pigmented spots may appear darker after your first treatment. Eventually you will notice that the pigmented area begins to fade.  It is important to stay out of the sun before and after Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments. Sun block and proper clothing should be worn to protect your results. For this reason, patients may choose to have IPL treatments in seasons that experience less sun.

You should avoid the following:

  • Direct sunlight
  • Waxing
  • Chemical Peels
  • Tanning beds

How can skin care products help me?

Medical-grade skin care products, whether used as an adjunct to other procedures or as an initial step in improving skin health, help to improve your skin’s appearance and to rejuvenate healthy skin cells. Gels, creams, serums and exfoliators available for purchase have different purposes. It is important to use the regimen that is right for your skin type and lifestyle. We will help you define that regimen as part of your skin care consultation and treatment plan. Our Skin Care Director, Dina Maynard, frequently attends educational conferences all over the country.  She is constantly studying and researching new product lines to be able to provide our patients in Columbus, Ohio with the best clinical skin care products available.

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.

Spend as much time as you need learning more about our team and the services we provide. We are passionate about what we do, and we would love to see you soon.
