Skin Rejuvenation
Delivering gentle, subtle improvement, IPL pulsed light gives
your skin a younger appearance. Your skin will appear naturally
even-toned and healthy, without the artificial look of other
cosmetic treatments.
Unlike deep laser resurfacing and chemical peels, IPL is not
accompanied by an extended period of rednessand swelling, nor does
it involve ablation of the upper layer of skin.
Microdermabrasion has limited utility, it is ineffective in
countering redness, flushing and broken capillaries.
Turning back the clock
As we age, our skin reflects damage from the sun, the elements
and the wear-and-tear of daily life. In response, we often seek
aesthetic procedures to restore a fresh and youthful
appearance.
Photorejuvenation – one of the most popular cosmetic procedures
today – provides the ideal answer. By removing age spots
(sun-induced freckles), most brown pigmentation and redness due to
broken capillaries, these treatments help ‘turn back the clock’.
And with no downtime, IPL technology is ideally suited for today’s
active lifestyles. In addition to these signs of photodamage and
early ageing, IPL rejuvenation improves dull complexions, uneven
pigmentation and large pores, as well as red flushing skin and
rosacea.
How does IPL light technology work?
IPL pulsed light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over
the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates
the sub-surface skin layers and is absorbed by the blood vessels or
by pigmentation. The heat
impairs the vessel or lesion, and the body begins its natural
healing process.
Is it safe?
IPL’s pulsed light’s gentle energy parameters assure safe,
effective treatment. Uniquely shaped IPL pulses precisely heat
their intended targets, causing remarkably little or no skin damage
or discomfort. Clinical trials conducted by leading authorities on
pulsed light document its safety and effectiveness.
Does it hurt?
While pain tolerance is an individual matter, most people
tolerate IPL pulsed light treatment well, and describe the
sensation as a rubber band snap to the skin. The majority of
patients require no anaesthesia, though topical anaesthesia is an
option for sensitive areas.
Treatment – What to expect?
IPL photorejuvenation treatments range from 15-30 minutes.
First, the treated area is cleansed and a cool gel is applied. The
light pulse is then delivered, with little or no discomfort. After
the treatment, the gel is removed and the skin is cleansed. You can
resume all regular activities immediately.
Skin Rejuvenation
Treatment generally involves a series of five sessions. While
some patients see significant improvement in two or three
treatments, others may require more. To maintain results, patients
my opt for follow-up treatments.
