IPL Photorejuvenation
What is a IPL Photorejuvenation?
Photorejuvenation, which uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, can help reduce the appearance of some of the most common skin woes, including brown spots, rosacea, melasma, broken capillaries, and sun damage. This minimally invasive skin procedure can also treat signs of ageing such as wrinkles or age spots. There are very little recovery time and few side effects, making it a popular skin treatment. The process induces controlled wounds on the skin, prompting it to heal itself by creating new cells.

DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO THE SUN OR GO ON SUNBEDS
DO NOT USE ANY “ACTIVE INGREDIENT” SKIN PRODUCTS
Post-procedure, avoid any skincare product that has active ingredients. These commonly include AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxyl Acids), Retinol or other similar agents. The skin will be highly sensitive and these products will only irritate it further.
USE COLLAGEN STIMULATING PEPTIDES
As Photo rejuvenation serves to stimulate the production of collagen, the skin needs higher amounts of collagen than normal to recover optimally. Collagen Stimulating Peptides assist in that process, further aiding in the stimulation of collagen production.
AVOID THE USE OF MAKEUP AFTER TREATMENT
It is imperative that you let your skin “breathe” and recover for 24 hours after the procedure.
USE AN ANTIOXIDANT SERUM
Antioxidant serums such as Vitamin C have properties that assist in healing the skin. Serums assist in soothing the skin and further reduce irritation.
AVOID SWEATING
As you sweat the pores of your skin will reopen, and the bacteria on your skin may enter the skin punctures. This can lead to either a reaction or infection.
DRINK WATER
It is important to stay hydrated before and after your procedure to help your skin heal and rejuvenate faster.
IPL uses light energy to target a particular pigment in your skin.
When the skin is heated, your body gets rid of the unwanted cells, and that gets rid of the concern you’re being treated for. Unlike lasers, an IPL device uses scattered light and multiple wavelengths of pulsating light. Therefore it can treat a range of skin conditions at the same time.
