Everybody has a different opinion and preference for maintaining beautiful skin. Some people would prefer staying without blemishes while others don’t really mind as much. Regardless of what your views are as far as perfect skin is concerned, many people are embracing the benefits of IPL treatment. IPL is an abbreviation for Intense Pulsed Light and has become a highly sought-after service at our Medispa locations in Lewes and Dover, Delaware.

Most likely, you are wondering what this treatment involves, or what its benefits might be. Of course, during a consultation with our team, you can learn more about IPL treatment, and we can help you determine whether it is your preferred approach to skin rejuvenation.

What is IPL?

IPL therapy or intense pulsed light (photofacial), is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. Using light energy, the skin is heated, ridding your skin of the unwanted cells. Unlike lasers, IPL devices emit more than one wavelength of pulsed light, treating a variety of skin conditions at once. IPL has also been known to help with reddening, browning, or splotchy skin.

What does IPL help fix?

  • Acne
  • Rosacea
  • Freckles
  • Birthmarks
  • Stretch marks
  • Scars
  • Large pores
  • Unwanted hair
  • Broken blood vessels
  • Spiders veins
  • Brown spots, also called liver or age spots
  • Erythema (reddening)
  • Dark spots caused by hormonal changes
  • Dull skin
  • Small wrinkles

If you are getting IPL treatment, don’t…

  • Sunbathe or apply a tanning lotion for 4 weeks before
  • Depilation, or chemical exfoliation or collagen injection in the 2 weeks before
  • Spray perfume, makeup, deodorant or any other skin irritant
  • Taking aspirin or another medicine that can make you bleed more
  • Taking any medicine that makes you sensitive to the sun; for example, the antibiotic doxycycline.

IPL is a Non-Invasive Treatment

One of the top benefits of IPL treatment is its mode of delivery. It is neither invasive nor is it surgical. The implication is that you do not need any real recovery time to note a significant difference after undergoing the procedure. After treatment, you can return directly about your day!

Hydrafacial FAQ

What is a Hydrafacial?

  • Hydrafacial is an invigorating treatment that can be given in as little as 30 minutes. It delivers long-term skin health and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of all skin types. It offers instant, noticeable results with no downtime or irritation. The Hydrafacial treatment removes dead skin cells and extracts impurities while simultaneously bathing the new skin with cleansing, hydrating and moisturizing serums. The treatment is soothing, refreshing, non-irritating and immediately effective.

Am a I candidate for a Hydrafacial?

  • The Hydrafacial treatment is designed for all skin types. Even the most sensitive skin easily tolerates the Hydrafacial treatment.

How often should I get a Hydrafacial? 

  • Hydrafacial is a great treatment to do once a month to deep cleanse the skin and maintain skin health.

Is it good for blackheads?​

  • Hydrafacial is a great treatment to treat blackheads and clogged pores. It combines a skin softening serum, glycolic acid & salicylic acid to loosen up debris and dead skin. Then, the vortex extractions step uses suction to vacuum the surface of the skin and pull the impurities into the waste jar. If they are really stubborn, it probably will not get all of them! So, we recommend coming in once a month to treat & prevent the build up that can cause blackheads. 

Can I get a Hydrafacial if I am pregnant?

  • We always recommend asking your physician before booking an appointment with us to confirm what they think is appropriate for you. But, we are able to modify most of our services to be able to accommodate pregnant women.

Are there any post facial instructions that I need to follow?

  • Avoid make-up and sweating immediately after your facial, as it may irritate your skin. No saunas, hot tubs or steam rooms for 48 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure for 3-5 days. No retinol, Retin-A, tretinoin, acids or any other aggressive skin care products and exfoliation for 3-5 days before and after your treatment. And, as always, wear SPF and do not tan your skin.

A few TIPS from The Seiff Center for getting the most out of your injectable procedure!

DO Educate and Prepare Yourself Before Getting Dermal Fillers

Whether or not you are just starting to think about cosmetic injectables, or you have already made the decision to get dermal fillers, you should prepare yourself before you go in for a consultation or procedure. There is a lot of information on cosmetic dermatology out there and a lot of it is important to consider. If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of information available, our team is here to help.

  • Only get fillers from a qualified and experienced injector. Everyone ages differently and everyone’s face is different. It takes time and training for a person to know the right amount of filler to use and exactly where it should be injected for the best individual results.
  • Research the different types of fillers available so you can have an informed discussion during your consultation.
  • If you have a history of facial cold sores, then needle punctures can increase the chances of an outbreak. Talk to your provider about the risks.
  • Suggest waiting two weeks to getting filler prior to or after Covid Vaccinations.
  • If taking antibiotics — fillers (especially lips) should be avoided until after antibiotics are completed and infection is cleared up.
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not get dermal fillers.
  • People with allergies to ingredients in the fillers should not get them either, so be sure you ask about the ingredients and share concerns with your provider.

DON’T Take Over the Counter Pain Killers Before the Procedure

You should discontinue use of any over-the-counter pain relievers at least a week before you get dermal fillers. Blood-thinning drugs like ibuprofen (Advil & Motrin), aspirin, and Aleve can increase the chances of bleeding, bruising, and complications during and after the injections.

DO Follow Instructions about Skincare and Supplements Prior to the Injections

  • Don’t wax, tweeze, bleach, or use hair removal products on the treatment area for at least two days before the treatment.
  • Do not use topical products for at least two days before the procedure. Treatments to avoid include Retinol, Retin-A, Retinoids, glycolic acid, and anything labeled “anti-aging”

DON’T Drink Alcohol for at Least 48-72 Hours Before the Procedure

Just like over-the-counter pain relievers, alcohol has a blood-thinning effect. This can lead to bruising and inflammation. It’s also a good idea not to drink for a day or so after the procedure to avoid inflammation and possible dehydration.

DO Follow Aftercare Instructions

  • Follow instructions given to you by your injector about ointments, like an Arnica ointment, to take care of the skin and reduce bruising after the appointment.
  • Ask your injector about icing the treatment area off and on throughout the day. Often, it is a recommended part of aftercare, but some treatments are best left without it.
  • Don’t exercise for a few days after you get the injections. You will probably feel fine and able to exercise, but the increase in blood flow and movement can “nudge” the fillers out of place.
  • Don’t touch, massage, or rub the area treated to avoid moving the fillers out of place. Wait at least 24 hours to put any kind of pressure on the affected skin.
  • Don’t expose yourself to direct sunlight for at least 24-48 hours after the injections. The skin will be sensitive and sun exposure, especially if you get a sunburn, can cause damage.
  • Staying hydrated will not only help you feel good overall, but fillers respond better to a hydrated body.

October 5, 2022 plastic surgery
Dr. Bryan Seiff is a fellowship trained oculoplastic and aesthetic facial surgeon that specializes in both cosmetic and functional procedures of the eyelid, brow, and face. Blepharoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries worldwide. Age and gravity combine to cause laxity and descent of the facial tissues over time, and nowhere is this more noticeable than in the area around the eyes. Typical changes include heaviness of the upper eyelid and fullness of the lower eyelid.
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient surgery designed to correct these changes and restore a youthful appearance to the lids and the eyes. Excess tissue of the upper and lower lids can be removed, recontoured, or repositioned. Incisions are camouflaged in the upper eyelid crease and along the inside of the lower eyelid. This surgery is commonly performed for cosmetic reasons, and produces a refreshed, natural appearance. Occasionally, upper eyelid blepharoplasty can be performed to increase the field of vision in an individual whose heavy lids diminish their peripheral vision
