What is Photo-Rejuvenation

Skin repair and rejuvenation to repair skin that has aged or has been damages can be carried out in various ways:-

Surgery (called intrusive)

Creams, which may be expensive and over a period of years the cost will add up.

IPL (Intense Pulse Laser) which treats the skin ‘non-invasively. Because there is no  disruption of the skins epidermal surface (i.e. it has not been cut with a scalpel etc), there is no recovery time and patients can resume their busy work schedule immediately after treatment.

Photo-rejuvenation using IPL Treatment

The technology is called a breakthrough in skin care and is also referred to as ‘The Gold Standard’ for photo-rejuvenation.

IPL is an ideal and effective treatment for photo-rejuvenation, especially for people with busy lifestyles.

It improves the appearance of photo-aged skin ‘with no down time’, unlike surgery, which takes time out of a busy persons schedule.

How it works

Light of certain wavelengths (colours have different wavelengths) shines on and through the skin, careful selection of the wavelengths causes the light to only target the areas that are being rejuvenated,

Typically an age spot has a distinctive colour, therefore the wavelength of the pulse light is chosen so it only affects the age spot.

The therapeutic light energy changes to heat energy and the parts of the agespot that are visibly noticeable are broken down (fragmented) and disappear, without any damage to the surrounding skin. The skin is left smooth and rejuvenated.

What Can Photo-rejuvenation do?

It can treat a wide variety of skin conditions, these including age spots, freckles caused by the sun, rosacea symptoms, broken capillaries, birthmarks, unsightly veins, acne scarring and other blemishes.

It is be used on the face and on other parts of the body where the skin sometimes needs rejuvenating (sometimes due to too much exposure to the sun), e.g. the neck, chest, arms and hands.
