INTENSE PULSED LIGHT(IPL) REJUVENATION
What does it do?
IPL is a broad spectrum of light that penetrates into the skin and targets dark pigmentation and redness. It also stimulates collagen to assist with the texture of the skin.
How does it work?
Treating pigmentation: When the light comes into contact with pigment it is absorbed by the pigment. This creats heat energy that damages the pigment protein which is then pushed to the surface where it can be buffed off after about a week.
Treating unwanted veins and capilliaries : When the light comes into contact with capillaries it is also absorbed by the blood vessel, causing damage which eliminates the capillary altogether.
Usually 3 treatments spaced one month apart are recommended.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience discomfort during the treatment and some people experience redness and swelling straight after the procedure.

Intense Pulsed Light improves and repairs:
- Pigmented spots, freckles and sun damaged skin
- Unsightly small veins and capillaries
- Fine lines, open pores and skin texture
- Rosacea and other diffuse redness
IPL uses pulses of visible light to treat and correct the results of sun damage and aging. All areas of the body can be treated, including the face, neck, chest, hands and arms.
Not only does the treatment decrease age spots and capillaries, it also encourages new collagen growth to improve skin texture, increase skin smoothness and reduce pore size and fine lines.
Safe and effective
You may notice significant improvement after just one session but the best results are achieved with 3 treatments, performed at 3-4 week intervals. In fact, the true final result may not be apparent until a month or more following the last treatment.
A skin care regime individually designed to address your specific problem can also enhance the results.
