There are a few cosmetic and medical treatments out there that offer a myriad of skin solutions in one neat package. One that is gaining popularity among the health-conscious set is intense pulsed light (IPL) Photorejuvenation. IPL Photorejuvenation is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin, removes age spots, most benign brown pigments and redness caused by broken blood capillaries. It can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing optimal cosmetic results and satisfaction.

FAQ’s

What treatments can IPL Photorejuvenation deliver?

IPL Photorejuvenation can be used to treat any area of the body, the most common of which are a face, neck, chest, and hands. These treatments improve the texture, clarity and overall appearance of your skin by resurfacing the skin. Concerns that can be addressed by photorejuvenation treatments include:

• Static and dynamic wrinkles: These are wrinkles that are constantly visible as well as those that appear as folds when the skin isn’t moving, or that deepen with movement or expression.
• Pigmentation: Freckles, sun spots, melasma, brown spots or other darkened patches of the skin resulting mainly from sun exposure.
• Scars: As the result of acne or injury to the skin, scars may be rolling (a wavy appearance to the skin), pitted, discolored, or have raised borders.
• Vascular conditions: Blood vessels visible on the surface of the skin, vascular lesions that appear as tiny blood filled blisters or even a constant flush of facial redness. These can be called broken capillaries or spider veins.
• Loss of skin tone: the loss of collagen and elastin fibers that results in a loss of skin firmness, or on the body the development of cellulite.

How does IPL Photorejuvenation work?

Basically, IPL photorejuvenation is done by projecting a laser light onto the skin blemishes treated. The energy delivered causes the problematic cells to heat up and break down into substances that can then be absorbed and discarded via the bloodstream. The blemishes treated are mostly found on the skin’s surface, the “dermis”, but the laser energy also heats up sub-skin tissues (the “epidermis”). This causes increased collagen production that does wonders towards improving overall skin complexion.

How many treatments will I need for skin rejuvenation?

Depending on the number of conditions you are treating and the severity of the individual problem, a series of five or six treatment sessions may be recommended.

Are the treatments painful?

Most clients do not find the procedure painful due to the cooling system.
