What is IPL photorejuvenation?
It
is a painless, hassle-free revolutionary new procedure that makes use
of pulses of light to reverse the skin's photo ageing process.
How does it work?In
photorejuvenation, intense pulses of light are sent through the outer
skin, the epidermis, and energy is concentrated on the dermal layer just
below. The blemishes absorb the light, the heat energy breaks down the
blemishes into minute particles and the particles are absorbed into the
blood stream.
It also stimulates cells in the dermis to produce
new collagen which plumps out the complexion, smoothing it out and
ridding it of fine lines creating a more youthful-looking skin.
What can it be used for?It
can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions that are associated
with photo ageing: fine wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven tired looking
skin. It can help reduce pore size, acne scars, spider veins and
rosacea (excessive blushing).
IPL therapy is also able to
permanently remove hair. This can be done on selected areas such as
upper lip, armpits, legs and even bikini line.
What are the side effects?As
IPL leaves the outer skin intact, there are very minimal side-effects.
If there are any, they are usually transient and include a mild burning
sensation, temporary reddening, slight bruising and discolouration of
skin. Hence there is no downtime and hardly any interruption to the
person's routine.
How long does it take?Each session takes about 30 minutes.
How soon can I see results?For
most skin types, maximum long lasting results are achieved with a total
of 5 to 6 treatments, with a 3 week interval between each treatment. In
some cases, the person will notice a 'glow' and smoother complexion as
early as after the first treatment.
Who are suitable or unsuitable for IPL?Most
people are suitable except for the very dark-skinned or recently tanned
individual. A doctor's consultation is mandatory before starting IPL.
