Unwanted redness usually occurs on the face, neck or chest of fair skinned individuals who have had chronic sun exposure. When paired with visible blood vessels and brown freckling it is referred to as poikiloderma.
IPL treats red and brown at the same time but many treatments are required and results are usually not lasting. Redness and blood vessels can be targeted very effectively and permanently with pulsed dye laser treatments. For brown freckles, several treatment modalities can be added on the same day. Sunscreens with a broad UVA range should be used meticulously and for life to sustain your results.

| 2008-06-24 18:56:32 | I followed the Dr. from Jefferson - Philadelphia. Dr. Ringpfeil is the best dermatologist I have had... and as a psoriasis patient I have had a few of them. For the first time, my skin reacts to treatment. Thank you! |
| 2008-12-01 12:04:52 | I have been to a number of derm docs....often it seems as though they have you try this or that but never seem to have a clear plan as to how they will treat ALL of the issues at hand. Thank you for taking the time to address each one of my concerns. |
| 2009-05-07 12:32:12 | I liked how she listened to my issues and is addressing them aggressively. I've seen too many Dermatologists who don't seem to know how to go about treating me. |
