About Our Photofacial IPL Services

One of the most common procedures done for cosmetic purposes, the IPL laser is an all-purpose treatment that can address a variety of conditions. IPL treatments can vary greatly based on the specific technology that is used. It is the most common cause of complications due to inappropriate use. Therefore, treatments should be done only after consultation with a doctor.

Metropolis Dermatology proudly helps patients in the Los Angeles area rejuvenate the look and feel of their skin with the Photofacial IPL. This versatile treatment can be used to address a myriad of cosmetic needs.

TREATMENT FOR FLUSHING AND ROSACEA

Rosacea is a chronic medical condition whereby the face, especially the cheeks, can be persistently red with small acne-like bumps. Over time, many broken blood vessels develop. We are a full-service medical dermatology office that offers both medical and cosmetic treatments for rosacea and flushing. Topical gels and cream, as well as oral treatments for rosacea, exist. Specific lasers that don’t require downtime can also more quickly reduce the redness and flushing on the face.

BROKEN BLOOD VESSEL TREATMENT

Broken blood vessels and angiomas are common on the skin due to a variety of factors. Once formed, they can grow and expand. Although not medically dangerous, they can be a cosmetic nuisance when they grow larger or more numerous. We offer laser treatment for the removal of these angioma and blood vessels. A series of treatments are generally required for clearance. Downtime is generally minimal.

MELASMA, BLEMISHES, AND SUN SPOT TREATMENTS

There are various treatments for blemishes and sunspots. We offer in-office medical grade products and chemical peels that can help lighten brown discoloration. In addition, we have lasers that are safe to treat these conditions. As with most treatments, expect a series to see improvement. The type of treatment or treatments will depend on a variety of factors, including your native skin color, size, and depth of the lesion, as well as your general health. A medical consultation is required prior to treatment.

Dr. James Wang specializes in cosmetic dermatology treatments like intense pulsed light (IPL) in DTLA, CA. Dr. James Wang can provide you with rejuvenated and healthier skin.

SPECTRA FX LASER

Spectra FX Laser is the premier laser that uses picosecond non-thermal, photo-mechanical laser energy to shatter pigment in the skin while protecting the surrounding tissue. It’s the safest, most effective treatment for melasma, sunspots, and skin rejuvenation. It has minimal to no downtime.

ENLIGHTEN TATTOO REMOVAL LASER

enlighten has emerged as the premier solution for laser tattoo removal. Featuring dual pulse durations (2 ns + 750/660 ps) and three unique laser wavelengths (532, 1064, 670 nm), enlighten has the power to clear all ink colors, variable ink particle sizes, and densities in fewer treatments.

CANDIDATES FOR THE PHOTOFACIAL IPL

The Photofacial IPL is an excellent treatment option for men and women who desire rejuvenated skin without the need for invasive cosmetic surgery. If you’re suffering from sunspots, rosacea, and other common skin blemishes, you would make a good candidate for the IPL photofacial. We’ll perform an initial assessment of your skin and prepare the ideal treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Julia is not just one of the best physicians I’ve ever had, but she’s also a kind, thoughtful, and patient human being (which we love because sometimes going to the doctor is scary!) I had some basil cell carcinoma and Julia found it, biopsied, and recommended me to another amazing physician (Dr. Jenny Hu) who removed it alongside her team. It’s easy to not mind a medical experience when it’s normal or “everything is fine,” but when inevitably stuff sometimes isn’t, you want to have somebody like Julia in your court. I’m so grateful for the comfort I feel when I go in for visits; it’s night and day when compared to some less than optimal experiences I’ve had in other offices! Also, the team at the office, billing, communication, scheduling- it’s all super streamlined and smooth. Thank you for everything!
