The procedure requires no downtime and has a low risk of side effects. There is no interruption of routine activities.

IPL Photorejuvenation will stimulate the production of collagen in the skin giving you a more youthful and fresh appearance. You will continue to see the benefits to the skin over a period of time.

How long will the treatment take ?

A full photo-facial treatment takes one hour. However the length of time depends on the area being treated. The time allowed for spot treatments will be advised on consultation.

How many treatments will I require ?

One treatment will give a dramatic result, however a series of four to five treatments may be necessary with 2 to 4 weeks between treatments. Your Technician will consult with you to advise you on the most appropriate treatment plan for your skin and lifestyle.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN REMOVAL OF PIGMENTATION AND SUN DAMAGED SKIN

IPL treatment is will help to take away the effects of sun damage, removing pigmentation spots, freckles, and leaving a fresher and clearer complexion. Almost everyone has a pigmented lesions of some type.

As we begin to age the effects of too much sun, solarium treatments, and the stresses of life can take their toll on your skin, ageing you prematurely.

This Intense Pulse Light Treatment is non invasive with little change to your routine however the results will speak for themselves. Treatment can be performed on the face, chest, arms and hands. You will be amazed at the difference in your skin and how clear your complexion will become.

How will I look after Treatment ?

After treatment the skin will appear slightly red, and any pigmentation marks may become more obvious. The brown areas can give the appearance of a “milo” effect to the skin. Around day 7 the skin will begin to appear clearer, more even and fresher.

Your Technician will advise you how many treatments will be appropriate depending on the condition of your skin and how much pigmentation is present.

How does the treatment work ?

A cool gel is applied to the skin. A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a small, smooth, transparent hand piece which is gently placed over the skin.

The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by various structures in the skin – either the blood when treating vascular lesions or the melanin when treating pigmented lesions damaging them. The body’s natural processes then removes the injured tissue through the lymphatic system giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN REMOVAL OF THREAD VEINS AND CAPILLARIES

If you suffer from thread or spider veins on the face then IPL is the treatment for you, dramatically removing unsightly veins to give a fresh, clear, smoothed complexion.

How many treatments will I require ?

Sometimes only one treatment may be necessary to produce excellent results – for example, in treatment of spider veins or solar lentigines. However, where there is an extensive network of capillaries multiple treatments may be necessary.

How will I look after Treatment ?

Treatment for capillaries may cause some mild bruising which fades in about 7 – 10 days. Around day 7 the skin will begin to appear clearer and fresher.

A mineral or light make-up can be applied to conceal any darker spots or redness.

Again, your Technician will advise on consultation how many treatments are required for your individual needs.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN TREATMENT FOR ROSACEA

Many people suffer from the embarrassing condition of Rosacea This condition
produces excessive redness and blushing of the cheeks, nose, and chin. Rosacea is most commonly found in people over the age of 30 with fair skin, who tend to flush or blush easily.

For people with Rosacea, their facial appearance is a major concern. In many cases it causes embarrassment, with people avoiding going outdoors. Rosacea may therefore have a negative impact on a person’s quality of life.

What is Rosacea ?

Rosacea is an inflammatory skin condition that has similar characteristics to acne and
has been known to be called Adult Acne or Acne Rosacea. The cause for Rosacea is unknown, but researchers believe it is likely due to some combination of hereditary and environmental factors.

Rosacea causes the blood vessels in the facial skin to become inflamed and swollen. It is characterized by:

- facial redness (erythema) and flushing/blushing
- fine blood vessels (telangiectasia) on the face
- inflammation/acne (papules, pustules)
- swelling.

Some people experience facial redness, inflammation, burning or warm tingly sensations. As rosacea progresses, small blood vessels and tiny pimples begin to appear on and around the reddened area, however, unlike acne, there are no blackheads. Some people suffer from inflamed pustules or spots.

Rosacea and facial redness and flushing may be accentuated by hot liquids, spicy foods, alcohol (hot or cold), exposure to sunlight and heat. Symptoms can be eased by avoidance of such triggering factors.

How can IPL technology help Rosacea ?

IPL Technology enables our technician to treat Rosacea with optimum results. Intense Pulse Light IPL has been clinically proven as being successful in reducing the side-effects of Rosacea.

IPL uses wavelengths of light to treat the dilated blood vessels of rosacea in the face
Effectively, the structures and blood vessels causing the rosacea to flare up, absorb the precise energy level and various wavelengths of light that are emitted from the IPL technology.

In turn, the light then travels to the vascular structures of the skin causing the blood to clot within the vessels which are then destroyed and become absorbed by the skin.

Over time and with the right course of treatment, the redness and flushing of the skin that causes the rosacea, becomes visibly reduced, resulting in a more rejuvenated, younger look.

How many treatments will I require ?

A course of 4 – 6 treatments over a four month period will greatly improve the reduction o f the redness and flushing appearance of the skin. However, your technician will assess the condition of your skin and advise on an appropriate course of treatments.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN REDUCTION OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

Wrinkles come with life – years of laughing, frowning or too much time in the sun. These are natural consequences of aging, however wrinkles can make us look and feel older than we would like.

IPL turns back the clock and reverses the aging process in a softer, gentler way. This revolutionary technology delivers energy safely and painlessly to the underlying layers of the skin, gently stimulating the production of new collagen, while protecting the outer layer of the skin.

The new collagen that is formed plumps and smoothes the skin making it appear more youthful and radiant.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN REDUCTION OF SCARRING

IPL Technology will stimulate the collagen within the deeper layers of the skin helping to “plump” the skin up and also helping it to become more elastic. By increasing the production of new skin cells the surface of the skin will appear smoother.

How many Treatments will I require ?

Depending of the depth of the scar and assessment by your Technician you will be advised of the appropriate course of treatment.

Not all scars will be able to be removed, however their appearance may be able to be noticeably reduced.

PHOTOREJUVENATION OF THE SKIN TREATMENT FOR BACTERIAL ACNE

Acne is one of the most common, yet the hardest skin problem to clear. Regardless of skin type or lifestyle, approximately 70% of the population will suffer from acne at some point in their lives. Acne is common in both teens and adults.

Hormonal changes cause the enlargement and obstruction of sebaceous glands in the skin. This typically causes painful, inflamed lesions that can appear on the face, chest, back, limbs and virtually any other part of the body.

While most individuals will eventually outgrow their acne, some will remain susceptible to it throughout their lives.

How can IPL Treatment improve acne ?

Intense Pulsed Light treatments utilize a light source to penetrate through the issue to destroy acne bacteria quickly and easily – with no side effects, and without the exposure to antibiotics.

How many treatments will I require ?

Typically, just 4 – 6 treatments over a 2 – 4 month period will greatly improve the appearance of the skin as well as evening out the skin tone, helping to close pores, and producing collagen.

What to Expect After Treatment ?

The treatment is non-invasive and relatively pain free, with full-face treatments taking approximately 30 minutes.

The IPL light is applied to the affected area with a series of pulses. Once the treatment is over, clients can return to their daily routine. A slight redness may be present after treatment, with the appearance of mild sunburn.

IPL effectively clears most inflammatory acne in a few visits. However, your skin will be assessed upon consultation with your Technician and a treatment plan will be advised.
