Choicy Academy Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Training

What are IPL Treatments?

IPL is a cosmetic treatment that stands for intense pulsed light. It's a kind of light therapy that can address several skin conditions without damaging the skin’s surface. Ideal for wrinkles, spots and unwanted hair, IPL can minimize or remove age spots, sun damage, varicose veins, rosacea and more! 

When IPL laser treatments are used on the face for rejuvenation purposes, they're generally referred to as photofacials. However, students in medical aesthetics academy learn that photofacials can be used on just about any part of the body, including the back, chest, neck, arms and hands. 

In a typical treatment, the skin is covered with a cooling gel that allows the handheld laser instrument to flow smoothly around the area that's being treated. Anesthetic isn't usually necessary, as the most sensation that’s mostly felt is like a gentle pinch. 
 
The IPL beams break up the pigments underneath the skin. After four to six treatments of 20 minutes each, the treated pigments start to flake off the skin, leaving clear, smooth skin behind. 

IPL is similar to a laser treatment; however, a laser focuses one wavelength of light at your skin, while IPL releases light of several wavelengths. 

IPL Training for Photofacials and Hair Removal
IPL laser training is also essential in performing permanent hair removal. This procedure involves several steps:

• The IPL beams are focused on the area to be treated
• The beams target hair follicles in the area and destroy their ability to grow more hair
• Hair becomes sparser with each treatment until no more new hair appears

• The fundamentals and basics of laser physics
• The Fitzpatrick scale and tissue interaction
• Client screening and candidacy
• Operating a laser safely
• Understanding the clinical applications of lasers in the industry
