I have seen just about everything and I can tell you that the trend today is away from Harsh Phenol and Chemical Peels, Dermabrasion and Deep Lasers as these can create pigmentary problems and prolonged down-time from healing.”  “I have found non-invasive, no-downtime treatments with the IPL an ideal tool for safe, mild yet effective skin rejuvenation. 

Intense Pulsed Light Treatments ( IPL) have the following indications:

1. Reduction in Erythema or redness of the face, neck or chest including the medical condition called “Rosacea”.   A 75%, or higher, reduction can be seen after 5 treatments with the benefits continuing up to 12 months after the treatments.  Additional maintenance treatments can extend this period.
   
   
2. Flushing (sporadic redness) of the face, neck and chest.  IPL remains one of the only effective treatments for this condition that causes embarrassment to many individuals.  Flushing occurs with stress or alcohol consumption and can be dramatically reduced 75%, or more, after 5 treatments.
   
   
3. Rosacea is a medical condition characterized by a low-grade skin inflammation.  The redness may be controlled with medication such as topical or oral antibiotics.  IPL reduces the inflammation in the skin and may eliminate the need for medication.
   
   
4. Photoaging or Sun Damage is skin that has fine wrinkles, freckling, irregular pigmentation, coarse or rough appearance, large pores and a dull texture.  IPL has been shown to visibly reduce these skin characteristics creating skin that is brighter and more youthful in appearance.
   
   
5. Pigmentation Problems (Brown Age-Spots, Melasma or Pregnancy-Mask) are characterized by uneven brown skin pigmentation.  Other signs of sun-damage may also be present.  IPL treatments can significantly reduce this uneven pigmentation.
   
   
6. Acne Scarring may be visibly improved with IPL treatments that induce Collagen formation in the dermis.
   
   
7. Post-Surgical Scars can be lightened with IPL treatments that specifically target vessels in the forming scar tissue.
   
   
8. Stretch Marks that are red or purple in color can be faded using IPL.

Facial Rejuvenation has a rich history in Chinese Medicine. Strategies for achieving longevity through lifestyle, acupuncture and herbal treatment is an important mainstay of Traditional Chinese Medicine.  By treating the body and the interplay of the organs, with particular attention to the meridians in the face, appearance can be optimized. Herbal formulas can help to reinforce the acupuncture treatment and give a sleeker, more relaxed look without the drastic changes of plastic surgery or injections.

Traditional Chinese Medicine addresses the same organs as Western Medicine, but has organized the treatment and understanding of them in a different way.   The organs in Chinese Medicine have enhanced functions compared to Western Medicine.  For example, the organ of the heart can be treated with acupuncture, but you can also treat the "spirit"  through treating the Meridians of the heart. 

During facial rejuvenation treatment heighten focus is placed on the five organ systems in Chinese medicine:  

The Lungs: The lung system, of course, is involved in respiration.  But in Chinese Medicine, the Lung controls the skin, with its external sense organ --the nose.  (In Chinese medicine, it makes perfect sense that people have asthma, might also have rhinitis and eczema.)  If the lung is not optimized, this will lead to dryness, wrinkles, and a withered-looking complexion, seen in the extreme with chronic smokers.

The Liver: The liver system plays a major role in the qi flow of all the other organ systems.  It is key in the circulation of qi and blood and it can tend to become stagnant without proper exercise, breathing, diet, and control of the temper.  The external sense organ of the liver is the eyes.  If the liver is not optimized there will be wrinkles from the poor perfusion of the face, dark spots, and a dusky congested complexion.  This can be noted in the extreme with chronic drinkers who can tend to have broken capillaries, red noses, and a congested look especially in the eyes.

The Spleen: The spleen dominates the function of making the food eaten into energy and blood.  The external sense organ is the mouth.  When the spleen is not optimized, the skin will be undernourished with a loss of skin tone, sagging and looseness. There can be a look of puffiness with eye bags.  One can even see brownish dark spots on the face.

The Kidneys: The kidney system regulates the fluid balance in the body, the external sense organ is the ear.  (In Western Medicine, it has long been observed that deformities in a newborn's outer ear can be associated with kidney abnormalities.)  In Chinese Medicine, the kidneys are incredibly important besides their role in regulating water.  Perhaps because of the proximity to the adrenal gland, the kidneys are seen as key in storing a substance called "essence" which is the basis of health, longevity, and reproduction. (Western Medicine now acknowledges the key role of stress, mediated by the adrenal gland, in health, mood, reproduction, and aging.)

When the kidneys are not optimized, one can see dark circles under the eyes, puffiness around the eyes.  But if essence is diminished, one can see accelerated aging, loss of hair, and wrinkles.

The Heart: The heart rules the blood and blood vessels, but also the spirit, as noted above.  If the spirit is altered, it can easily be reflected in the face.  Many of the anti-wrinkle protocols will serve to calm the heart.  The most common result of a heart function that is not optimized is low heart blood leading to poor perfusion and wrinkles.  But if the heart blood is not strong, sleep can be affected and that can lead to accelerated facial aging.
