Now men and women alike are making unwanted facial and body hair a thing of the past. No more painful waxing, electrolysis or razors! Cleared for permanent hair reduction, the IPL laser can treat men and women of all skin types and tones safely and effectively.
Hair removal with IPL is a fast and virtually a pain free method of reducing and eliminated unwanted hair. This treatment uses the science of light to significantly reduce hair by targeting and injuring hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin.
How it works:
IPL, short for Intense Pulsed Light, is a treatment that removes hair through a process called photoepilation, which is based on the principle of selective photothermolysis. This means that the light energy is absorbed in the target hair follicles while sparing the surrounding, healthy tissue. While it is still a light source, IPL works differently than conventional laser systems. Instead, IPL systems use a broad light spectrum of light with wavelengths ranging from 590 to 1200 nm (green, yellow, orange, red and infrared). The wavelengths emit light energy in carefully timed pulses to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment, decrease the risk of skin damage and minimize pain.
During the treatment, a gel is applied to the treatment area in order to focus the light energy and cool the top skin layer. A handheld device is then placed on the skin and the treatment begins. The light energy heats and damages the hair follicle, typically causing the hair to fall out from the follicle. IPL technology allows your physician or technician to provide a procedure that is gentle and non-invasive, with nominal side effects.
IPL systems can also be customized to your specific skin colour, hair colour and hair density. As a result, it can be used on a wide range of hair colours, from blonde through auburn to brown and dark black hair. It also removes hair from all skin types - from porcelain white through olive to dark brown complexions. Hair on most parts of the body can be treated, no matter how deep the follicles reside. Sensitive areas like the lips, ears, nose, underarms, and bikini line can usually be easily tolerated.
Acne Treatment:
This treatment is able to effectively treat Vulgaris, Conglobata and Rosasecea Acne. Acne is born when the opening of the hair follicle is blocked. Bacteria is then trapped in the hair follicle and begins to multiply rapidly. As the body's immune system attempts to fight these bacteria, inflammation begins and acne appears. The intensive light releases an oxygenator which eliminates the bacteria and bacterial activity. This relieves the inflammation and acne, and leaves you with soft and healthy skin.
Skin Rejuvenation (Photo-Facial):
Photo rejuvenation (photofacial or fotofacial) is a non-invasive skin health and restoration treatment that erases the damage inflicted on your skin from sun, aging and biological factors as well as Rosacea. The technology supplies a broad spectrum of light which reaches deep down within the skin, targeting pigment and vascular imperfections. The goals of therapy are a more even skin color and texture.
The IPL corrects a variety of skin conditions such as brown spots and redness of the face, while offering a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type. The IPL can treat the imperfections on the face as well as the neck, chest and hands.
The IPL is one of the most common technologies used to treat Rosacea. After a series of treatments this technology can significantly reduce the redness and visible blood vessels on the face. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments are comfortable and performed without downtime. Low light energy inserted into cells proliferates and stimulates collagen production and induces collagen and elastic tissue synthesis, thus rejuvenating the skin.
After a series of IPL treatments, patients also report improvement in the texture of their skin and reduced pore size. With a series of treatments, IPL Photo rejuvenation can help restore your skin to a more youthful appearance without the prolonged recovery.
