IPL Photo RejuvenationPhoto Assisted Skin Rejuvenation or IPL RejuvenationDuring the aging process skin loses elasticity, tone or is damaged from free radicals such as UV rays, pollution and smoking. With the use of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy reversing the damage and improving skin texture and skin tone can be achieved through photo rejuvenation. With approximately 4-6 treatments required, this procedure reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, redness and promotes collagen stimulation.

Rhytides (wrinkles) arising from photoaging are treated through applying heat energy stimulating new collagen production beneath the skin surface which remodels the collagen, firms the skin and shrinks the pores. Pulses of safe, filtered light penetrate the epidermis targeting the dermis below where melanin and haemoglobin reside. The affected cells are destroyed and either absorbed via the lymphatic system or removed by the body (micro crusting). After a series of photorejuvenation treatments an improvement in fine lines, texture and appearance of the skin can be noticed. A non-surgical treatment modality, post a photorejuvenation treatment, the skin may appear red, sunburnt and swollen. This usually subsides quickly and normal activity can be resumed. Sun protection is pivotal as increased sun-damage will occur.
