Say “Bye Bye” to Summer Sun Damage with IPL Skin Rejuvenation

Receive a complimentary Colorescience Mineral Sunscreen Brush with an IPL treatment package. 

Summer Sun Damage with IPL Skin Rejuvenation

In 1999, Dr. Lupo became the first physician in Louisiana to use the Intense Pulsed Light, IPL, device to treat both medical and cosmetic skin conditions. Since then it has become the most popular light treatment option at the Lupo Center to target and dramatically improve red and brown discolorations, broken capillaries, skin texture, fine lines, facial veins and acne scarring. It is one of the most effective options to improve the redness and flushing caused by rosacea, as medications alone do not improve these symptoms.

IPL is often called photorejuvenation or fotofacial. There is no downtime after an IPL treatment, and patients can get a treatment during their lunch break and return to work or attend an event on the same day. Makeup can also be worn immediately after the treatment.

Using sunscreen post IPL treatment is a must to protect the skin from further damage and prolong the results. Any patient who purchases a package of three IPL treatments by October 31, 2017, can receive a complimentary Colorescience Sunforgettable Mineral Sunscreen Brush SPF 50.

What is the Fraxel Dual laser?


When patients are ready to rejuvenate the appearance of their skin, they may be interested in learning about laser therapies. With a variety of lasers and light therapies available in her practice, Dr. Mary Lupo can help patients enhance the skin and body. One of the most commonly requested solutions is the Fraxel Dual laser.

What is Fraxel Dual laser?

The Fraxel Dual laser is a treatment that is commonly used at Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology to turn back the hands of time. Aging skin is a typical complaint for many of our patients with the development of fine lines and wrinkles. By using the Fraxel Dual, patients can reverse some of the visible signs of aging in a more natural manner. Fraxel Dual is often used for the treatment of:

  • Pigmentation
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Surface scarring
  • Actinic Keratosis

Fraxel Dual can greatly improve the overall texture and tone of the skin no matter where it is used. A typically treatment of the full facial area takes less than an hour and is completed by our trained, experienced staff. The device can be adjusted in terms of intensity levels for each patient, ensuring a customized experience. Some patients desire less aggressive treatments more often, while others may want a deep penetration to reduce their time in the office.

Skin Protection During The Winter Months

While we may be six months away from summer, now isn’t the time to shy away from sunscreen.  Daily sunscreen use is a must year round, and extra protection is needed for those hitting the slopes this winter.  “It is essential to use sun protection during the winter months because harmful UVA rays are still present even in cold weather,” says Dr. Lupo. “Full-spectrum sun protection, at least SPF 30, should be applied daily, and it is also important to maintain your anti-aging regimen with retinoids and antioxidants or growth factors.”  See below for sunscreen specials!

While we don’t necessarily have Winter Wonderland weather here in South Louisiana, the seasonal change can still take a toll on our skin.  To combat the cooler temperatures and decreased humidity, exfoliation and extra moisturizing will help eliminate dull skin.  Avoid hot baths that can strip essential oils from the skin and always moisturize immediately after a shower.  A change in diet may also be beneficial to your skin: fish high in omega oils will help hydrate the skin from the inside, and herbal teas, such as green tea, contain antioxidants that help fight off skin-damaging free radicals.

If a good at-home skin regimen doesn’t help to eliminate dry, itchy skin caused by wintry weather, a low-level non-ablative resurfacing treatment such as a SilkPeel, light chemical peels or facials may help to brighten the skin. Pigmentation and redness, which often contributes to the appearance of dull skin, can be treated with FraxelClear+Brilliant, IPL and Laser Genesis.  To keep your skin glowing all year long, contact our office to discuss a skin care routine that is right for you!
