Over the years, photorejuvenation has established itself as an effective method to reduce the visible effects of aging on the skin.
This advanced technology helps even out the complexion and brighten the epidermis by targeting imperfections such as rosacea, pigmentation spots, and acne scars.
PREPARATION AND TREATMENT
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment works deep within the skin while preserving the integrity of the epidermis. As the light penetrates the superficial layer of the skin, it generates controlled heat in the dermis, targeting three key elements of skin rejuvenation:
- Micro-capillaries: to visibly reduce redness and rosacea
- Pigments: to diminish dark spots and even out skin tone
- Fibroblasts and collagen: to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, improving skin firmness and elasticity
WHAT TO EXPECT
Thanks to IPL technology, the skin quickly regains a fresher, more radiant, and more even appearance—with minimal discomfort.
In addition to its rejuvenating benefits, IPL is also highly effective in treating acne. By targeting the blood vessels that supply the sebaceous glands, it reduces sebum production, helping to decrease oiliness and prevent breakouts.
IN CONCLUSION
Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to improve skin texture and appearance.
It is a lasting investment in the health and beauty of your skin.
