What the treatment involves
What is IPL Photorejuvenation?
IPL Photorejuvenation is a safe and non-invasive treatment which uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to diminish imperfections in your skin.
A series of Photorejuvenation can significantly improve the texture and appearance of your skin by diminishing facial redness, age spots, sun spots, fine lines, uneven pigmentation and even large pores.
Your skin will look younger, healthier and more even toned – without the cost or pain associated with cosmetic surgery techniques.
How does IPL Photorejuvenation work?
Short pulses of wide spectrum light selectively targets the melanin in imperfections such as sun spots and age spots.
The light and heat also stimulate the growth of new collagen beneath your skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve the texture of your skin.
What are the Photorejuvenation treatments like?
The treatments are simple and usually last anywhere from 40-60 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. Performed by laser aestheticians, the Photorejuvenation light is simply placed over a spot of the treatment area and flashed.
The sensation is likened to a light snap of a rubber band on the skin. When the entire treatment area has been flashed, the treatment is over. Although your skin might be slightly rosy after the treatment, this does not usually last more than a couple of hours. In fact, many people often have treatments during their lunch hour and go right back to work afterwards.
