Even though colder, cloudier weather is settling in, you\nshouldn’t be taking a rain check on skincare. Remember that cool, windy\nconditions tend to strip the skin of moisture. Add to that the fact that many\nof us are still recovering from summer and fall skin damage! Because of this, laser\nand light treatments are an ideal choice during the winter months\u2014known as\n\u201claser season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Light-treated skin is hypersensitive to sunlight.\nSince people stay indoors longer during the chilly days of winter, they find it\neasier to create conditions conducive to healing. In addition to laser skin\nresurfacing, BroadBand Light (BBL\u2122<\/sup>) used by Florida<\/a>\u2019s Skin Wellness Physicians in\nIntense Pulsed Light (IPL) sessions are great for addressing a variety of skin\nconcerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IPL is a light therapy as opposed to a laser. It can\nbe filtered to vaporize specific abnormalities, such as age spots, sun damage,\nbroken blood vessels, redness, rosacea, and unwanted face or body hair. Much\nlike a camera flash, IPL emits scattered light of several wavelengths. Unwanted\nhair follicles or pigment take in the energy as heat, which damages the cells. The\ntreated skin eventually appears clearer and more youthful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n BroadBand\nLight (BBL\u2122<\/sup>) is considered to be the gold standard for Intense Pulsed\nLight (IPL) treatments. It is highly flexible and can be customized for a range\nof skin irregularities on any area of the body, including ones that are\ndifficult to reach. The advanced system has built-in precision CoolComfort\u2122<\/sup>\ntechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the skin is especially vulnerable following an IPL\ntreatment, be sure to avoid sun exposure and include ongoing sun protection as\npart of your long-term skincare routine\u2014even on overcast or foggy days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Explore cosmetic dermatology services by Skin Wellness Physicians<\/a> for Naples,\nMarco Island, Bonita Springs, Ft.
