IPL Technology, also referred to as Fotofacial,
improves the appearance of photo-aged skin,
removes age spots (sun-induced freckles),
most benign brown pigments, and redness caused
by broken capillaries through a process called
Photo Rejuvenation for face and body.
IPL Skin Treatments using Photo Rejuvenation
help restore a more youthful appearance without
patient downtime. It is a new technology that
gradually and naturally restores a smooth
even surface to your face, hands and chest.
Today’s active lifestyle doesn’t
leave much time for recovery from a cosmetic
procedure, which is why IPL technology is
one of the the single best technologies for
overall skin improvement.
IPL treats a wide variety of skin conditions:
Sun damage
Flushing
Skin texture
Redness
Broken capillaries
Brown spots
Age spots
Dark circles around the eyes
Sun-induced freckles on the hands, chest,
and face
Broken capillaries around the nose
Excels in helping the reduction of fine wrinkles
and large pores.
How IPL Works
During treatment, the IPL wavelength is optimized
so that the energy is absorbed only by the
unwanted melanin, raising the temperature
to cause shattering of the pigment. Deeper
level damaged blood vessels are treated at
the same time.
Shortly after treatment, the unwanted pigment
cells (or melanin) have been thoroughly fragmented
without damage to the surrounding tissue.
Vascular lesions are heated, causing coagulation
and shrinking of the vessels..
In the weeks after treatment, the shattered
melanin particles are eliminated through a
process which causes the fragmented pigments
and damaged melanocytes to be absorbed by
the body. Little or no trace of the initial
lesion remains. The treated vessels deeper
within the epidermis are reabsorbed by the
body in much the same way.
Because the treatment is gentle, there is
no interruption of routine activities. By
helping to remove the age spots (sun-induced
freckles) and broken capillaries, the result
is overall younger looking skin. Improvement
is subtle and accomplished over a series of
treatments so the patient's skin does not
appear obviously treated. |
