Broad band light in Bellevue (also known as BBL or photo rejuvenation) is a safe, light-based therapy used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, acne, rosacea, vascular lesions, broken capillaries, freckles, and liver spots.
We have a dedicated laser in our office with highly skilled estheticians. We use the Sciton Joule®, the gold standard in skin rejuvenation.
Your doctor and esthetician will discuss IPL as part of your skin consultation. Our goal will be to understand your desired outcome and determine if you are a good candidate in Bellevue for Intense Pulsed Light or other skin therapies. They will walk you through the details of the treatment and the results you can expect. Patients with certain conditions, such as those listed below, may not be good candidates for IPL, but your Newvue team will be sure to guide you to the treatments that will best suit your needs. Some of the conditions that may prevent you from getting IPL therapy:
IPL is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved treatment. During your initial consultation in Bellevue, your Newvue team will ensure that you do not have any conditions that may disqualify you from getting Intense Pulsed Light therapy. There are no serious, long-term complications associated with IPL. Risks include burns, scarring, and discoloration, most of which can be attributed to misuse of the equipment. Our aestheticians have been operating lasers successfully for over a decade. IPL can cause slight discomfort. Patients compare it to getting hit with little spatters of oil from a cooking pan. The discomfort varies depending on the patient and the settings, but the treatments are generally very short (less than 15 minutes), and the pain can be managed with numbing creams applied prior to treatment.
You may want to shave the area you want to be treated a day in advance of your IPL treatment in Bellevue to minimize any discomfort from razor burn, and you should avoid intense sun exposure or tanning within 4 weeks of your treatment.
Your procedure will go fast. A small area can be treated in minutes, and a full-face treatment generally lasts about 30 minutes. You will be seated comfortably in our Intense Pulsed Light and laser suite in Bellevue. The esthetician will apply a cold gel to the area that will be treated and provide you with eye protection. The IPL handpiece will be placed against the treatment area, and your treatment will begin. You will feel a sensation like a small rubber band being snapped against the area followed by a warm sensation.
