Many people from their thirties suffer from premature ageing of the skin largely due to sun damage and other lifestyle factors. This sun damage often results in dull, rough skin with enlarged pores, lines and wrinkles. Mottled skin tone and areas of abnormal pigmentation, along with vascular irregularities such as telangiectases, are also common. IPL light systems can address the aspects of premature ageing outlined above due to it’s ability to promote fibroblast activity and subtly restructure collagen within the skin.

As with all of our laser and IPL treatments it is important to gauge a client’s expectations and establish realistic outcomes. IPL skin rejuvenation is not a substitute for surgery, ablative resurfacing or other procedures which improve deep wrinkles and sagging skin. It is appropriate for people who wish for a more even skin tone and show mild to moderate signs of sun damage and photo-ageing.

Our skin rejuvenation is performed using short pulses of light that are released to target the discolouration of the skin to create a much more youthful look for our clients. This light will also result in the stimulation of fibroblast cells which lead to increased production of collagen and elastin which improves the texture of a clients skin.

IPL is a specific form of laser light therapy. However, whereas laser emits light at one specific wavelength, IPL produces a spectrum from different wavelengths. This means that it can select different targets for absorption, making it a versatile treatment option that can treat a range of issues.
