Sunspots, age spots, pigmentation, or small facial vessels (telangiectasias) can be a constant reminder that your skin isn’t as clear as it could be. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a solution to unsightly skin afflictions as small light pulses are applied to targeted areas of the skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
In this procedure, an IPL machine will emit gentle pulses of light at carefully sized wavelengths in order to target the desired area. The heat and light generated by these waves is absorbed by broken capillaries, dark pigments, and collagen. These areas then coagulate and the skin is induced to procure new collagen fibers – giving the skin a renewed, youthful appearance.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of 2015 and chose to have a double mastectomy with breast reconstruction. My breast surgeon referred me to Dr. Brown of Bruno Brown Plastic Surgery in Chevy Chase, and after my first meeting with Dr. Coleman Brown, I knew I didn’t need to look any further! His staff greeted me with smiles and made me feel very comfortable.”
