Antioxidants improve results with IPL
December 4, 2009 by Jo · 1 Comment
New research has shown that the topical application of antioxidants after intense pulsed light ( IPL) therapy could help protect the skin against the negative effects of IPL.
The study, recently published in a recent issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology showed that topical antioxidants had a two fold benefit in helping to improve the desired effect of the IPL and to help ease the side effects of treatment.
The top layer of the dermis was measured to be thicker in the group who received both antioxidant and IPL therapy.
