What is IPL Skin Rejuvenation (Photo Facial)?

IPL skin rejuvenation is a skin care procedure that uses powerful bursts of light to improve the appearance of skin.

The light waves used are filtered to exclude any harmful wavelengths (such as ultraviolet waves) and kept within the appropriate range to heat up and eliminate targeted cells.

Among these are pigment cells, which are responsible for moles and hyperpigmentation. IPL also targets a compound found in the blood called oxyhemoglibin to help treat those with rosacea.

 

When the temperature of oxyhemoglobin is adequately raised, it destroys the dilated capillaries close to the skin’s surface that are responsible for the red appearance seen in rosacea patients.

Lastly, IPL stimulates collagen-producing skin cells called fibroblasts.

Increased collagen production helps to reduce wrinkles and treat scar tissue. These fibroblasts also contribute to the production of hyaluronic acid, a substance that keeps the skin moisturized and contributes to a youthful appearance.

 

Acne IPL Treatment

You deserve glowing & blemish-free skin!

IPL Laser Acne Treatments do more than just clear skin — they boost confidence.

Treating blemishes, cystic acne, acne scars and redness with creams and medications can be a very long and costly process with no guaranteed results.

Our machine uses laser light instead of pharmaceuticals to help eliminate existing acne and prevent new acne from forming.

Most treated area’s are face and back, but we can treat any area with acne.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation Benefits

IPL benefits the skin primarily by destroying compounds that cause hyperpigmentation and redness, and by encouraging collagen formation.

These two functions help:

  • Reduce skin discolorations such as freckles, birthmarks, age spots and sun spots
  • Rid the skin of vascular lesions such as broken capillaries and spider veins
  • Improve the appearance of scars
  • Tighten and smooth skin
  • Reduce wrinkles and pore size
  • Reduce facial redness resulting from rosacea
  • Folliculitis (Ingrown hairs)
  • Collagen Remodelling
  • Dull Skin
  • Scars
  • Freckles
  • Age spots/Sunspots
  • Acne

IPL vs Laser Treatments

IPL skin rejuvenation and laser skin resurfacing are similar procedures in that they both improve skin through light treatments.

Where they differ is in the type of light they use: IPL produces light in a broad range of wavelengths; laser resurfacing uses just one wavelength at a time.

This means IPL is less concentrated, making it less effective at treating serious skin irregularities.

However, it also means that the recovery time for IPL is significantly shorter than for laser therapy.

This does not mean this is not a great treatment as IPL still is. Having used multiple wavelengths means we can treat multiple conditions at the same time.

For harder to treat conditions, the technician will assess and determine if the Elite IQ Laser would be a better more concentrated treatment.

Number of Treatments Needed

Although many patients report visible improvement after just one treatment, clinicians typically recommend minimum 3 sessions (spaced four weeks apart) for general skin rejuvenation.

If treating severe skin damage or discoloration, as many as ten treatments may be needed.

 

Unfortunately, we never stop aging, as with all rejuvenation treatments the more you have them, the better the over all result.

We would recommend maintenance treatments 2-4 times a year (or as needed)
