What  is IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light [IPL] technology is a spectrum of light therapy that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo-aging, pigmentation, freckles, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes. Photorejuvenation  is a new process that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type, providing superior cosmetic results and outstanding satisfaction.

How it works?
The light from the IPL is of a specific  range in wave length  which targets pigment in the skin either melanin ( in the pigmented areas) or haemoglobin ( in the veins) which destroys the damaged areas resulting in   clearer skin.

What conditions can Photorejuvenation treat?
Imperfections from Sun Damage and Photo-aging.
No matter how healthy and young you feel, skin imperfections ( especially on your face) or abnormalities can detract from your well being. IPL technology helps create smoother-looking skin. There is a significant reduction of unwanted pigmentation which is visible after a series of treatment. The same treatment can be used effectively on the neck, chest, arms and hands for the treatment of.

1. Freckles
2. Sun spots
3. Sun Damage
4. Age Spots
5. Melasma/Chloasma
6. Hyperpigmentation

Vascular Lesions

1. Broken Veins and Capillaries - The face has an extensive network of veins and tiny blood vessels called capillaries. Over time, aging, trauma, sun exposure, and certain lifestyle factors cause a number of them to break appearing as red streaks or blotches on the face. IPL therapy can eliminate damaged veins and capillaries by removing virtually all traces of these unsightly blemishes.
2. Redness Caused by Broken Capillaries
   Many people suffer from broken capillaries and diffuse erythema, that cause them social embarrassment. For both women and men, IPL can successfully treat dilated blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin

Skin Texture. aging skin ,chest wrinkles ,facial wrinkles , neck wrinkles and fine wrinkles  can also be treated with a series of treatment.

The process.
 A cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you will be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL handpiece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied.
You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band. An anaesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required.

Possible side effects
Flushing and redness (similar to what you will see after a good exercise workout) will last from a few minutes to several hours after treatment. You may experience some swelling and the brown age spots and uneven pigmentation will turn slightly darker after treatment.

How long does it last?
Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty to thirty minutes.

Depending on the number of conditions you are treating, and the severity of the individual problem, a series of four to six treatment sessions 4-6 weeks apart may be recommended. You can return to work the same day and resume all your daily activities.
By dividing the full program into several treatments, the procedure provides gradual improvement with very low risk – and, it preserves the wonderful “no down time” feature that people appreciate so much.
