The aging of the skin becomes visible through different changes in the skin tissue – changes in pigmentation, enlargement of the skins pores, flabby skin, wrinkles and skin folds, enlargement of small veins, sun spots, age spots etc.

IPL Photo Facial Benefits

Intense Pulsed Light, also known as IPL Photo Rejuvenation or Photo Facial, is a non-invasive treatment that is used to help correct skin damage without disrupting the skin’s surface. It safely and effectively helps to correct and treat:

• Redness and brown mottled pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands
• Brown spots (age spots and liver spots) and pigmentation
• Photo-Aging (enlarged pores, rough texture, red and brown discolorations)
• Mild fine wrinkles and scarring
• Face veins
• Rosacea

The IPL treatment may be used on the face as well as other areas of the body such as the hands, chest, arms, or shoulders. Intense Pulsed Light treatments are tailored to individual conditions and skin types, and may be helpful in achieving smoother, youthful, vital and less blemished skin. After a series of treatments, the skin often appears smoother, more uniformly pigmented and revitalized.

How does IPL Photo Facial work?

The IPL device delivers controlled intense pulses of broad spectrum light to the skin. These wavelengths are customized to suit the needs of your individual skin type. The light emitted targets brown and red colors as well as deeper collagen tissue within the skin. By so doing, IPL diminishes brown pigmentation and redness while stimulating the formation of collagen in the skin. The end result is smoother, more uniformly pigmented and revitalized skin.
