IPL Skin Rejuvenation

IPL is a non invasive aesthetic means of rejuvenating your skin, enhancing the skin’s natural state, giving youthful and fresher appearance.

IPL treats the following conditions:

How does IPL work

IPL technology generates red or blue light pulses. This light is flashed on to the skin penetrating the tissue, the body then removes the damaged tissue leaving the skin fresh and more youthful. IPL treats the damaged superficial layer of the skin, while delivering thermal energy to deeper tissue. Clinical studies are now available to measure the effect this energy has on collagen.

IPL results

Dramatic results may be seen within a short time period, however, a course of treatments is recommended.

After IPL treatments the following results may be seen: improvements in skin tone and texture, skin tightness, skin hydration and a reduction in pigmentation. The skin becomes smoother and firmer. There is a resulting reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

After a consultation we will determine an IPL treatment plan for each new patient, taking into account the severity of skin conditions being treated, as well as skin type. On average, 3-6 treatments are recommended

It would be useful if you arrive with no makeup on. We apply a cold gel on the area to be treated. Dark glasses/ goggles are used to protect your eyes from the bright light. The hand piece is gently applied against your skin and pulses of light are applied. The sensation of the light has often been described as a slight tap or on strong treatment sometimes even as having a small rubber band flicked at your skin.

During treatment the glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to the skin and light is delivered to the treatment area.

Depending on the number of conditions being treated, and severity of the individual problem, a series of 4 to 6 treatment sessions may be recommended, scheduled at 4 week intervals. Each session usually lasts about 30 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately afterwards. The patient may return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. IPL treatments provide gradual, natural improvement with excellent long-term results

By dividing the full program into several treatments the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk – and, it provides “no down time” feature that is really appreciated by our patients.
