“I.P.L” SKIN REJUVENATION

What is “I.P.L” skin rejuvenation?
 With aging and sun exposure, your skin looses its glow and the regeneration of its cells slows down. Multiple signs of damage start to appear: dark spots, fine wrinkles, broken capillaries, dilated pores and cutaneous laxity.

The “I.P.L” (intense pulse light) rejuvenation is a non-invasive method that allows the simultaneous treatment of a large variety of problems related to the face, neck and body (hands and chest), such as age spots, redness, rosacea, telangiestcasia, acne scars, dark circles, melasma, unsightly little veins, unwanted hair and other lesions. As well, this treatment stimulates the formation of new collagen, therefore improving the texture and elasticity of the skin.

What is an “I.P.L” treatment like?
 The treatment takes place in our clinic under medical supervision. Sun exposure is avoided for 4 weeks before and after the treatment. Prior to each session, an anesthetic cream may be used. The skin area to be treated is then covered by a cold gel. During the pulsations of light, a mild burning sensation is experienced, similar to the snap of a rubber band. The treatment is occasionally followed by a temporary redness or darkening of the pigmented areas.

 

  

Each session takes about 30 minutes. The complete treatment plan includes 6 sessions, one per month, followed by a maintenance session every 4 months. These treatments do not require a recuperation time. Therefore, you can apply your make-up as soon as the session is completed. As well, you can return to your work the same day and resume all your regular activities. There is no downtime.

What are the advantages of the “I.P.L” skin rejuvenation?
 The “I.P.L” treatment improves the appearance of redness, rosacea, dilated capillary vessels, dark spots and wrinkles. After a few sessions, the skin will appear smoother, clearer, more transparent, more glowing, firmer and its color more homogeneous. This technology tightens the pores, enhances the skin texture, improves the spots and dark circles, decreases the redness, and gives the skin an even tone. You will look younger and more relaxed. The photorejuvenation, therefore, is beneficial to both the superficial and deep layers of your skin. The results start to show as early as the 3rd session.
