IPL

IPL This 30 minute procedure uses a machine which emits intense pulses of light that penetrate to all levels of the skin, causing collagen and blood vessels beneath the epidermis to constrict. The regimen calls for a series of six full-face light treatments at three-week intervals. Redness following the treatment lasts less than 24 hours for most people. Visible reduction of fine lines and wrinkles occurs gradually, over the span of a few weeks following treatment. IPL treatments are especially good for: fine lines, particularly around the eyes and mouth, shallow acne scars, age spots, broken blood vessels, Rosacea and sun damage. This procedure is thought to reduce the appearance of large pores and dark circles around the eyes, and is especially effective in reducing chronic facial redness. It also can be used to treat sun damage and weathered areas on the neck, arms and chest, as well as the back of the hands. The biggest advantage of IPL treatments is that there is no downtime. The procedure improves the general texture and refinement of the skin
