STARLUX™ 500 Pulsed-Light Photofacials

Intense pulsed-light uses spectrums of light between 400nm-1400nm wavelengths. The Starlux 500 pulsed light photofacials will treat rosacea and increased vascularity, improves large pore size, helps erase age spots, melasma (pregnancy mask or hormone-related pigmentation), and other forms of increased pigmentation (dyschromia).

The overall result of photofacials is an improvement in the appearance of the skin and an overall healthy glow. Age spots will lighten or disappear. Often, only one or two treatments can produce dramatic results.

The StarLux 500 System is the most powerful aesthetic light system in the world and the most expensive system made for pure pulsed light specialization.  The StarLux 500 system will do in two treatments what other systems will take four to seven treatments to accomplish, and in most patients one treatment will make a very significant improvement.  Beware of the "advertising blitz" of the many low to mid quality intense pulsed light systems in various spas and laser clinics. Their prices may seem slightly better to the uninformed, but the excessive number of treatments, lower power, and inferior quality of their instruments will end up costing you usually 200% to 400% more to accomplish the same goal. 

For example, one of our patients went to a clinic in the Overland Park area and did five IPL treatments (that is what she was told she needed by this clinic), they sold her a package of five treatments for $2000, and the patient said she saw absolutely no difference from all five of their IPL treatments.  She came to our clinic and we did one treatment with the StarLux 500 intense pulsed light system, and she said she was amazed at the improvement in redness, blood vessels, age spots and pore size, with estimated improvement of about 80% after just the one treatment, and we charged her $300.

Starlux 500 photofacials are often referred to as "lunch-time procedures" because they take about 30-45 minutes to perform on average and do not have any major down-time or recovery period.

After any of these treatments you may experience some redness or swelling at the treatment site. This can be covered with make-up and you can resume normal activities immediately. What our patients like the most about these procedures is that no one has to know that they had them. They just look better!
