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! |
| 2008-07-31 11:52:00 | I liked the relaxing atmosphere, and the service. All the women were wonderful, and the doctor- especially- was friendly, and very helpful. I did not feel at all uncomfortable or nervous, as I normally do at a doctors visit. The assistant was wonderful, and they worked great as a team. The visit was painless, quick, and very easy. Thank you! I'll certainly be back and recommend this office to my friends and family as well. :) |
