What is IPL Photo-facial skin rejuvenation?

The IPL™ Photofacial procedure is an innovative and intense 30-minute skin treatment that utilizes powerful bursts of light to reach deep into the dermis, the lower layer of the skin. By doing so, it triggers the constriction of blood vessels beneath the epidermis, resulting in a reduction of redness and age lines. Additionally, this treatment stimulates fibroblasts, which are cells responsible for producing collagen, to generate more of this essential protein. Through a series of IPL photofacial sessions, the increased collagen production helps to smooth and soften the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and any textural irregularities on your skin.

How does IPL Skin Rejuvenation work?

Throughout your IPL photo-rejuvenation session, powerful light waves are utilized to diminish or eradicate various typical signs of aging, such as facial wrinkles and skin discolorations. The IPL light additionally stimulates the generation of collagen, a natural protein that helps to reduce wrinkles, resulting in smoother and more supple skin. As you undergo each IPL photo-rejuvenation treatment, the effects become increasingly noticeable. Typically, achieving optimal results requires five full-face IPL photo-facial sessions scheduled four weeks apart.

Next, a layer of liquid carbon is applied, which seeps into the pores and binds to impurities like dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. Once the carbon has dried, it's time for the laser to do its job.

By targeting the carbon particles on your skin's surface, the laser gently removes the impurities. leaving you with a clearer, brighter, and firmer complexion.

Results are accumulative, each carbon facial treatment builds upon the previous one. Once the regeneration of cell turnover is started, the best way to keep making improvement to the skin is to commit to a course of treatments.
