The light energy delivered by IPL and Laser gently heats up the upper layers of your skin. The heat absorbed by the targeted areas stimulate skin cells to generate new collagen. This helps restore your skin to its natural beauty, blending its natural colours and making it smoother, vibrant and younger looking. In addition, the photothermal energy will target and eliminate many of the fine vessels that cause redness and the unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions.
Any area of your body can be treated. The most common areas are those most exposed to the damaging effects of sun light, such as the face, neck, back of the hands, chest and shoulders. This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure with virtually no downtime. In most cases patients are able to return to work, apply makeup, and resume most of your activities right away.
