When Botox & Fillers Are Not For You
If needles or Botox are not for you, what else can you do to slow down and fight the signs of aging? IPL Skin Rejuvenation might just be your answer!
In technical terms, IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and uses a broad range of light wavelengths that penetrate the skin to fire up your cells (similar to how the sun’s rays penetrate our skin). The light is absorbed by the targeted areas and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
Simply speaking, collagen is what gives the skin its strength and structure which gives a more youthful look, elastin helps the elasticity in the skin to help prevent sagging skin.
Both collagen and elastin production decrease as we age, however light technologies such as IPL stimulate new production to take visual years off the face and promote a more even skin tone and texture. It’s one of the best non-surgical, non-needle technologies around for anti-aging.
More Than Just Anti-Aging
The benefits don’t stop at collagen, elastin and youthful good looks either! If you have brown pigmented spots, IPL can help fade or diminish these spots to give you a more flawless, clearer complexion.
If broken capillaries are of concern, IPL can help with these too. The light from IPL is absorbed by the haemoglobin in the blood vessel – this causes heating and destruction of the vessel which the body works to break down and remove via the lymphatic system. Put simply, it leaves skin looking clearer and reduced visible capillaries.
Acne can appear at any age and can result in scarring from severe outbreaks or if the acne is picked at. IPL works on acne and scarring in 3 ways:
- IPL kills the p.acne bacteria responsible for the outbreaks
- IPL soothes and regulates sebaceous glands (the ones that produce the oil) to reduce or prevent future outbreaks
- Stimulates collagen to reduce or prevent scarring.
Get Great Results For Your Skin With IPL
In all cases of concerns, several treatments are usually required for the best long-term results and ongoing maintenance treatments may be required on a semi-regular basis to maintain optimum results (eg 2-4 times per year).
