IPL
Photorejuventation
Imagine a more
youthful looking you. Both the pleasures and
stresses of
life, along with the simple passage of time, tend to
cause our skin to appear older. And the signs of aging and sun
Before & After
damage are typically most visible on a person's face.
While numerous treatments from simple creams to major surgeries
exist to improve various facial flaws, skin specialists have always
sought dramatic improvement with low risk and no" downtime".
Additionally, many conventional treatment options can only address
one condition at a time, while they entail a prolonged recovery time,
considerable pain and potential side effects.
IPL
Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that erases skin
damage without disruption of the skin's surface, hence, no
"downtime". Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can simultaneously treat a
wide range of facial concerns safely and effectively, such as broken
capillaries, skin discoloration, age spots, freckles mottled
pigmentation and the symptoms of rosacea.
What is Intense Pulsed Light?
Intense Pulsed
Light (IPL) technology is a treatment breakthrough
that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial
skin imperfections, the signs of aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair,
unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. It offers a safe, non
-invasive condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results
and outstanding satisfaction. This new procedure is called
Photorejevenation.
How is the Photorejevenation procedure performed?
A cold gel is
usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may
be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light.
The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to
your skin and pulses of light are applied. You may feel a slight sting.
Like the snapping of a small rubber band. An anesthetic cream may
be used, but is seldom required.
Treatment is
generally administered in a series of procedures that
provides excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and
high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.
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 treatment
sessions may be recommended. You can return to work the same
day and resume all your regular activities. By dividing the full
program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual
improvement with very low risk - and, it preserves the wonderful
"no downtime" feature that people appreciate so much.
How do other treatments compare to Photorejevenation?
While there are
lasers that treat red spots, other lasers that treat
browns, and others yet that are used for resurfacing facial skin, no
technology provides the long-term improvement of complexion and
texture of the IPL Photorejevenation Program - all without the
slightest interruption in your busy lifestyle.
What conditions can Photorejevenation treat?
Imperfections
from Sun Damage and Photo-aging!!
Enlarged pores, dull complexions and other facial imperfections or
abnormalities can detract from your well being and appearance, no
matter how healthy and young you feel. IPL technology improves
both the superficial and deeper skin layers and rejuvenates the skin
while at the same time delivering beneficial thermal energy to deep
tissue. After a series of treatments, you can see a significant
reduction of unwanted pigmentation and the appearance of
smoother, revitalized skin. The same treatment can be used
effectively on the neck, the chest, and the hands.
Benign Vascular
Lesions: Broken Veins and Capillaries
The face has an extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels
called capillaries. Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure, and
certain lifestyle factors cause a number of them to break appearing
as red streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy can eliminate
damaged veins and capillaries by removing virtually all trace of
these unsightly blemishes.
Symptoms of Rosacea:
Rosacea is a skin
aliment that leaves people red-faced from dilated
blood vessels and chronic flushing. Rosacea can also cause pimples
and/or blisters on the nose and cheeks. For women and men, 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.
