IPL skin rejuvination
IPL Skin Rejuvenation uses filtered light energy to target the different structures within the skin to reduce imperfections and improve skin texture and tone. This treatment is suitable for thread veins, sun and age spots, acne, rosacea, wrinkles and lines.
Sun, Liver and Age spots (Hyperpigmentation) are all caused by an excess concentration of melanin in a particular area. Melanin absorbs the light energy during an IPL treatment and heats up quickly, whilst the surrounding skin remains cool. This rapid heating helps break up the concentration of excess melanin into smaller particles that are then removed by the body's natural waste processes.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles The carefully filtered light from IPL systems stimulates fibroblast cells in the body to produce more collagen. This new collagen proceeds outwards to the skin's surface resulting in a smoother texture, smaller pore size and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne is caused when pores become blocked by over production of sebum and dead skin cells. Once pores are blocked bacteria can build up and cause infection, which can result in acne. IPL treatment improves active acne by producing an oxygen rich environment which destroys anaerobic bacteria and also effectively reduces inflammation.
Rosacea is a skin condition that appears as severe redness and spots on the face caused by the dilation of tiny blood vessels below the skin's surface. Rosacea begins as outbreaks of flushing and redness on the face, but can also affect the neck, chest and scalp. These blood vessels may become hyper-sensitive to certain triggers. IPL treatment can help control the symptoms of rosacea, reducing the redness and inflammation. The light energy is absorbed by the inflamed blood vessels, and helps break these down. The body then recognises these broken vessels as waste and removes them naturally.
