IPL Photorejuvenation has the unique capacity to treat multiple symptoms of aging skin on your entire face in each treatment session. Among these are fine lines, red blemishes, mottled colouration, broken blood vessels, pigment discolouration such as freckles and age spots, enlarged pores, coarse or rough skin, loss of skin tone and elasticity, and general sun damage. The result is a youthful, smooth and revitalized facial appearance. IPL can also treat spots, discoloured red areas and other telltale signs of aging on your hands, chest and neck. In addition to treating multiple symptoms and locations in each session, IPL is gentle, non-invasive and safe. Because of this, there is no "down time." You see results in the complexion and the skin texture of the entire face. You can return to your normal routines and activities immediately. In fact, many people even schedule their sessions during their lunch break. Additionally, IPL treatments are customized to your specific skin type and color, providing the best possible results. Before treatment, a cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright light. During treatment, the smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to your skin, delivering pulses of light to the area being treated. The targeted areas of redness, discolouration and blood vessels are heated by the laser pulse and broken down. There is usually minimal discomfort. After treatment, you can return to your normal routines and activities immediately. Occasionally, there may be signs of treatment such as redness or blotchiness that can last from a few hours to a few days. You will see gradual improvement from each session, resulting in a dramatic improvement by the end of your treatment program. Results are long lasting, usually a year or longer. The treated skin is more sun sensitive and the use of a high SPF sunscreen is mandatory.
