SKIN REJUVENATION

 

Many people suffer from sun-damaged skin, with fine lines, mottled skin tone and broken capillaries. Photo-rejuvenation has been developed to provide long-term improvement in the firmness of the skin and removal of pigmentation and broken capillaries that together cause the visible signs of ageing and sun-damaged skin. Photo-rejuvenation treatment requires several colours of light to target the three aspects of ageing:

• Collagen (for dermal plumping and improvement in fine lines)

• Melanin (for uneven skin tone)

• Blood vessels (for broken capillaries)

BENEFITS OF IPL for SKIN REJUVENATION

Safe and reliable - Optimal use of light and heat energy for safely treating the sensitive facial area.

Visible results - Noticeable improvement in pigmented and vascular lesions, skin complexion, and fine lines and wrinkles after just a few treatments.

Quick treatment and no down time - A typical session lasts 10 minutes with no need for preparation or recovery time.

THE CLINICAL PROCESS

Infra-red light from the intense pulsed light  penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate production of new soluble collagen and elastin by fibroblast cells to plump up the skin and help to minimise fine lines.

The use of a mild chemical peel assists intense pulsed light or laser treatment, and is often incorporated into the treatment process. The peel removes dead skin prior to treatment, allowing better penetration of light into the skin so that lower energies can be used to better effect. The peel also gives the client an immediate effect from the treatment, as the light treatment takes several days to take effect.

Typically 3 or 4 treatments are required with chemical peels. Treatments are most commonly preformed on the face and neck, however some clients appreciate treatments to the back of the hands, as these areas also typically show the signs of photo-ageing.
