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.
