IPL
Intense pulse light (IPL) are machines that are used to treat a range of cosmetic conditions such as the removal of
unwanted hair, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce age spots.
The IPL machine emits very small amplitude wavelength light through a crystal sapphire head. The light penetrates deep into the skin reaching all the way to the inner layer.
This deep penetration provides a mechanism for reaching unwanted structures within the skin, such as hair follicles, clogged glands (causing acne), veins, and pigmentation.
The colour of the structures (such as the red in veins, or pigmentation in hair or freckles) attracts and absorbs light of different wavelengths depending on the colour.
With the addition of Radio Frequency (RF) we can now
effectively treat Grey, Blonde, and light fluffy hair.
IPL is a light guide for the RF so we can keep the IPL low and absorb more RF energy. This will avoid the side effects and discomfort sometimes experienced with IPL alone. Which also means we can treat extremely dark skin with no bad side effects (such as burning or hyper-pigmentation).
IPL Pigmentation, Freckle & Age Spot Removal
IPL can effectively remove all kinds of skin pigmentation.
Results are usually achieved in just 1–3 treatments.
Results are usually achieved in just 1–3 treatments. The best results are seen on more visible pigmentation as dark spots selectively absorb the intense pulse light. More colour ensures better attraction, which breaks up the pigmentation, allowing it to be released from the skin.
During the procedure a brief pinching sensation will be felt. This is kept to a minimum due to the unique cooling system, which cools the skin to minus 5 degrees beforethe intense pulse light is emitted.
After the treatment, you may feel a diffused stinging, similar to sunburn. In the days that follow the spots will become darker and look like a small graze. It is important that you do not try to pick off the pigmentation, but let it fall off naturally. This will happen after a few weeks, revealing clear skin.
IPL makes your skin sensitive to the sunlight. Due to this you should wear SPF 30+ after any procedures using the IPL.
Key benefits: Removes all kinds of skin pigmentation.
