Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Handbook of Lasers in Dermatology, 2014Co-Authors: Leyre Falto-aizpurua, Christian R. Halvorson, Robert A. WeissAbstract:Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems are mostly used for improving the skin texture from aging damages. This technology works by emitting a Pulsed, noncoherent, polychromatic Light through a filter, which can be changed according to the desired target within the skin. The side effects of these devices have been reduced, allowing its use for a wide variety of clinical indications. Currently, IPL devices are a safe and efficient treatment option for non-ablative skin rejuvenation, hair removal, and the removal of pigmented and vascular lesions.

To describe the introduction and use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat vascular and pigmented lesions comprising photorejuvenation and its use in photodynamic therapy. Methods. Review of the medical literature and the authors' experience with IPL. Results and Conclusions. IPL is an excellent treatment modality for vascular and pigmented manifestations of photoaging and can be combined with photodynamic therapy for the treatment of early forms of skin cancer.

Intense Pulsed-Light photorejuvenation.
Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2002Co-Authors: Neil S. Sadick, Robert A. WeissAbstract:: Intense Pulsed Light photorejuvenation represents a novel mode of treatment of photodamaged skin. A broad-spectrum flashlamp (500-1200 nm) targets chromophores reversing pigmentation, vascular and pilosebaceous aberrations. Both cytokine mediated as well as thermally induced deep dermal remodeling may be achieved using the varied polychromatic wavelengths associated with this technology. Inflammatory dermatosis such as rosacea may also be addressed as well. A structural approach to non-ablative rejuvenation utilizing Intense Pulsed Light is associated with high patient satisfaction and minimal adverse sequelae.

treatment of poikiloderma of civatte on the neck with an Intense Pulsed Light source
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2001Co-Authors: Mitchel P Goldman, Robert A. WeissAbstract:: Effective treatment of poikiloderma of Civatte is difficult. The ideal treatment combines elimination of both the vascular and pigmented components simultaneously. Treatment with a broad-spectrum noncoherent Intense Pulsed Light source delivers multiple wavelengths with software-controlled pulse durations and sequencing that permit treatment of both vascular and pigmented lesions simultaneously. The objective of this study was to determine the response and side effects of treating this condition with Intense Pulsed Light. In the study, 66 patients with typical changes of poikiloderma of Civatte on the neck were treated with Intense Pulsed Light at various settings every 4 weeks until the desired improvement occurred. A 50 to 75 percent improvement in the extent of telangiectasias and hyperpigmentation was observed after an average of 2.8 treatments. The incidence of hypopigmentation was 5 percent. It was concluded that Intense Pulsed Light is an effective mode of therapy for poikiloderma of Civatte. It seems to offer a reduction in both pigmentation and telangiectasia-associated erythema, with minimal side effects.

Skin Rejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light
Acta Dermatovenerologica Croatica, 2010Co-Authors: Elisabeth Kohl, Philipp Babilas, Michael LandthalerAbstract:: Skin rejuvenation has developed into one of the most popular indications for laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment in dermatology. During the past few years, nonablative skin rejuvenation with infrared lasers has become ever more popular. The results for hyperpigmentation, telangiectasias and erythema are very good, whereas the results in treating wrinkles are not as good as with ablative therapy.

Intense Pulsed Light ipl a review
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Philipp Babilas, Stephan Schreml, Rolf-markus Szeimies, Michael LandthalerAbstract:Background: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) devices use flashlamps and bandpass filters to emit polychromatic incoherent high-intensity Pulsed Light of determined wavelength spectrum, fluence, and pulse duration. Similar to lasers, the basic principle of IPL devices is a more or less selective thermal damage of the target. The combination of prescribed wavelengths, fluences, pulse durations, and pulse intervals facilitates the treatment of a wide spectrum of skin conditions. Objective: To summarize the physics of IPL, to provide guidance for the practical use of IPL devices, and to discuss the current literature on IPL in the treatment of unwanted hair growth, vascular lesions, pigmented lesions, acne vulgaris, and photodamaged skin and as a Light source for PDT and skin rejuvenation. Methods: A systematic search of several electronic databases, including Medline and PubMed and the authors experience on Intense Pulsed Light. Results: Numerous trials show the effectiveness and compatibility of IPL devices. Conclusion: Most comparative trials attest IPLs similar effectiveness to lasers (level of evidence: 2b to 4, depending on the indication). However, large controlled and blinded comparative trials with an extended follow-up period are necessary. Lasers Surg. Med. 42:93–104, 2010. 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Laser versus Intense Pulsed Light: Competing technologies in dermatology
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2006Co-Authors: E. Victor RossAbstract:Lasers have been competing with non-laser Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) sources in the cosmetic arena over the past 10 years. Initially IPLs were somewhat cumbersome and accepted by a minority of "serious" practitioners. Recently, however, the popularity of full-face visible Light skin rejuvenation, enhanced engineering of IPLs, and favorable cost versus many lasers, have lead to a proliferation of IPL devices. No longer a stepchild in the rejuvenation market, IPLs may overtake lasers as the devices of choice among most physicians. We review the pros and cons of lasers and IPLs within the context of design, cost, and other practical concerns for a typical office-based practice.
