The Benefits of Intense Pulsed Light
For the Treatment of Hair Removal, Acne, Fine Lines,
Rosacea, Small Blood Vessels and Capillaries

The treatment for long-term hair removal is performed through Dr. Peña’s office and La Piel Spa by using the Skin Station™ with intense pulsed light. Long-term hair removal is achieved through a series of treatments, by using flashes or pulsed light to target the hair follicles and damage their future production.

This same technology, but with different wave lengths, is used to treat acne by stimulating the oil in the acne-prone areas to turn into a substance that is toxic only to the acne-causing bacteria. This, along with a good skin care regimen, can avoid the more aggressive oral medication regimens which are in vogue. Both the photo aging and the acne treatments can be enhanced by the topical pretreatment Alpha Levulonic Acid. This can be used to even treat active Keratoses.

The third use of the Skin Station is for pigmented lesions, fine lines, and small blood vessels including the effects of Rosacea. Again, a series of light treatments are used to target the specific areas which, are improved as the light serially destroys pigmented lesions and recruiting collagen and shrinks the blood vessels.
