WELCOME TO RENAISSANCE DERMATOLOGY & AESTHETICS Rejuvenate & Restore
IPL (Intense pulsed light) harnesses the power to heal damaged and aging skin. The wavelengths eliminate imperfections, reverse visible sun damage, and boost your skin’s natural glow.
The IPL device stimulates your body’s natural collagen production with gentle heat from the light. Our providers can selectively target skin damage at various depths while leaving the healthy tissue around it untouched.
We can address multiple skin concerns utilizing IPL at Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics in Zachary, with excellent results in all age groups and little to no recovery time. Plus, the boost to your body’s natural collagen production will cause your results to improve over time.

WHAT TO EXPECT The IPL Photofacial Process
Consultation
When you come to Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics for the IPL Photofacial in Zachary, we will first provide a thorough consultation to ensure you are an ideal candidate and discuss your desired results. After examining your skin, we’ll be able to assess how many IPL sessions you will need to meet your goals
IPL Photofacial Treatment
We recommend that you come to your appointment without any makeup or products on your skin. Before beginning, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a clear gel to the treatment area. You’ll be given protective eyewear for the duration of your treatment. Most patients report minimal discomfort as the provider gently glides the IPL device over the treatment area.
Next Steps
After completing your treatment, we’ll answer any questions and give you instructions on the best ways to maintain results, and assist you in scheduling any follow-up appointments. When you leave our Zachary office, you can return to daily activities; however, we ask that you stay out of the sun and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen.
PRE-TREATMENT Pre-Care Instructions
Prior to Your IPL Photofacial in Zachary, Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics Recommends:
Avoid These Medications
Avoid aspirin (E.g., Bayer, Excedrin) and other blood-thinning medications (E.g., Vitamin E, Fish Oil). If you are taking any of these medications under the direction of your doctor, be sure to speak with them before discontinuing them. Discontinue antibiotics at the discretion of your doctor.
Avoid These Products
Make sure to stop using retinoid (Vitamin A) products for at least 2 days before and 2 days after treatment, as they cause increased skin sensitivity.
Hydrate
Ensure your skin is properly hydrated by drinking adequate water and using moisturizer morning and night.
Use Sunscreen
Use an SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.

Following Your IPL Photofacial in Zachary, Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics Recommends:
No Harsh Agents
Don’t exfoliate or use harsh skincare products (I.e. glycolic acid, retinoids) on the skin for the first 7 days, as it can cause irritation. Gently cleansing is fine.
Avoid Heat and Sun
Don’t take hot showers or baths for the first 48 hours. Avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen (SPF 30+) when outside.
Avoid Strenuous Activity
Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for at least 24 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
After receiving your IPL Photofacial in Zachary, you may begin to notice results within the first 2 weeks.
The results of IPL Photofacial generally last up to 1 year after completing your initial series of treatments. Annual treatments can help maintain results longer.
Your skin will look good for many months after your last treatment. However, the aging process will continue, and your skin will lose its radiant tone and smooth texture over time.
This depends on your skin’s condition and how much correction is required. Our skincare specialists at Renaissance Dermatology & Aesthetics will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
