Photorejuvenation (IPL)
Why photorejuvenation with IPL:
A fast, yet gentle treatment that visibly improves:
Pigmentation
Age/sun spots
Broken capillaries
Overall skin appearance
by stimulating collagen and elastic fiber production.
What is it?
The IPL photorejuvenation treatments offer remarkable results on a range of skin concerns such as age and sun spots, freckles, birthmarks, and broken capillaries. Our unique IPL technology gently and effectively eliminates spots, discolorations, and unwanted blood vessels.
When will I see results?
The IPL Photorejuvenation treatment works with your skin to remove your imperfections and stimulate collagen and elastic fiber production over a series of treatments. Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots can be cleared with as few as 1-2 treatments. Typically 2-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks in between are needed to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.
What can I expect after treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be applied immediately, and daily activities can be resumed the very same day. We advise you to stay out of direct sun for a few weeks following the treatment and to apply sunscreen regularly.
Is it right for me?
IPL photorejuvenation treatments are not suitable for everyone and may carry some risks. IPL for photorejuvenation is not suitable when you have active injection, viral, fungal, or bacterial diseases, inflammatory skin conditions or skin cancer. Risks may include: redness, swelling, scarring, and change of pigmentation.
How does it work?
IPL is one of the most commonly administered forms of light therapy in dermatological applications. IPL systems are designed to deliver many rapid, highly intense and controlled pulses of light – the controlled pulsing prevents thermal damage to your skin and minimizes discomfort. The IPL technology treats pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance.
The treatment
To ensure your utmost comfort during the procedure, we will apply cold coupling gel on the treatment area. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes. You may experience a warm sensation as the light is applied to the skin, but the treatment is gentle and should not feel uncomfortable.
