WHAT IS PHOTO REJUVENATION?Today's active city lifestyle means that clients in London and elsewhere are requesting a more effective skin rejuvenation treatment with little or no downtime. Photo Rejuvenation is a dynamic non-invasive procedure using intense pulsed light [IPL] to rejuvenate the skin.
HOW DOES INTENSE PULSED LIGHT WORK?
IPL non-laser technology, which supplies a broad spectrum of light that reaches deep down to the collagen level of the skin to produce remarkable results. The therapeutic light energy is transformed to heat energy. The target tissue is then fragmented and absorbed without damage to the surrounding skin. The skin surface is left smooth and rejuvenated.
HOW IS THE PHOTO REJUVENATION PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated. The smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently placed on your skin and pulses of light are applied. A slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band will be felt. Treatment is administered in a series of procedures that provides excellent long-term results and high client satisfaction.
WHY ARE MULTIPLE TREATMENTS NECESSARY?
Depending on the number of conditions you are treating and the severity of the individual problem, a series of five or six treatments may be recommended. Each treatment takes about 45 minutes.
WHAT CONDITIONS CAN PHOTO REJUVENATION TREAT?
Imperfections from sun damage and photo ageing
The overall appearance of aging skin is primarily related to the quantitative effects of sun exposure with resultant UV damage to the collagen and elastic fibres of the skin. This results in skin imperfections such as: skin laxity, dull complexion, enlarged pores, mottled pigmentation, excessive freckling and red and brown sun spots. IPL minimises or eliminates red and brown spots, evens out skin colour and texture and minimises red or flushed appearing skin.
Broken veins and capillaries
Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure and certain lifestyle factors cause a number of veins and capillaries to break. These appear as red streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by removing virtually all traces of these unsightly blemishes.WHAT IS ROSACEA?
Rosacea is a skin ailment that leaves people red faced with chronic flushing. This is caused by the dilation of capillaries and blood vessels. Rosacea can also cause white pimples and blisters on the nose and cheeks. This condition can affect both men and women. IPL can successfully treat dilated blood vessels and redness without injuring the surrounding healthy skin, while greatly reducing the episodes of flushing with long-term effectiveness.
