What Is IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a noninvasive treatment used to address a variety of skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and uneven pigmentation. By delivering broad-spectrum light to the deeper layers of the skin, IPL targets melanin and hemoglobin, breaking down pigmentation and stimulating collagen production for a more even and rejuvenated complexion. Offered at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery, this treatment is effective on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, and hands, and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to refresh and improve their skin’s overall appearance.

How Does IPL Work?
IPL therapy is performed by delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to the skin using a handheld device. The treatment area is first cleansed, and a cooling gel applied to enhance comfort. The device is then placed on the skin, where it emits precise bursts of light that penetrate the surface and target specific pigments, such as melanin or hemoglobin, to treat issues like sun damage, age spots, or redness. The light energy breaks down these pigments, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time. The procedure typically takes 20 – 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated, and requires little to no downtime.

Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had a bbl, tummy tuck, breast reduction and lift. Dr. Hedden is great. It was a fast and healthy recovery.
I had a bbl and lipo 360 with Dr. Hedden last year, and I’ve been very happy with my results. I did an online consultation. The following appointments were pretty quick, and overall, the price was reasonable for what I had done. They were very straight forward about pricing and everything involved with the surgery. They also have good post surgery support, which I appreciated. I really liked that they have an after hours line for any problems you may have, and I could get in touch with an on call nurse who actually answers if I had any issues. I recommend them. I’m happy with how my body turned out, and the overall process was very organized and went smoothly.
bbl review - I recently had surgery on 9/9/22. I had lipo 360 w/ BBL. After gaining some weight, I wasn't happy with my body anymore. Despite diet and exercise, I still couldn't get the shape I wanted due to mostly fat on my waist. Originally, I was only going to get lipo done but figured I might as well use the fat while I have it since it's going to lipoed off anyways. I'm currently 3 weeks post op but the pictures I'm posting are from 2 weeks. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my results and finally have the body I've always dreamed of.Updated on 2 Oct 2021:I don’t have many good before pics on my phone, so I tried to do the best I could. Lol. I forgot to add the 2 weeks after pics to my initial review so here they are. I’ll also post updated pics next week. Updated on 27 Nov 2021:I love my results so much. They just keep getting better and better. Highly recommend dr. Hedden.Updated on 27 Nov 2021:I’ll post another update next month.
