How does it work?
The IPL Skin Rejuvenation process uses intense pulsed light to heat the under-layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen – which is the substance that keeps skin firm and supple. More collagen means firmer, smoother skin with a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, particularly on the face, neck and décolletage.
There are many reasons why skin begins to sag and become lined: pregnancy, weight loss, sun exposure and time are just some of the causes. Photo Rejuvenation uses Intense Pulsed Light – IPL – to refresh and revive the skin. IPL is different from laser and works on the skin by penetrating deeply below the outer layers.
It is much gentler and may give more effective, lasting results than dermabrasive techniques, which rely on removing the outer layers of the skin using harsh abrasives without affecting collagen production.
Is it safe? Does it hurt?
Photo Rejuvenation is generally a very safe procedure so you can be back to your normal life immediately after your treatment. You may feel as though you have a mild case of sunburn after your treatment and your skin may be slightly pink for 2 or 3 hours. This will disappear, as will the mild swelling which you may experience after your treatment. All you will feel during the treatment is a gentle warmth.
