Q1
How does the treatment work?
The devise different frequencies of laser light energy and enable it to customise treatment according to lesion and skin type.
Because the light source is specific to colour, it targets only the red and brown pigmentation or melanin (for example from sun damage or rosacea) at the surface of the skin – as well as the pigment in coarser, darker hair on lighter-coloured skin.
The IPL laser light targets just the pigment or melanin, heating and destroying it but leaving the surrounding tissue and epidermis unaffected.
IPL photorejuvenation can also help to improve skin texture by stimulating production of collagen.
Q2
How many sessions will I need?
You will need a series of treatments (for most conditions usually a course of 3 to 5 sessions), with about a month between each session.
Q3
When will I see the results?
You should see a gradual improvement in your skin, over the course of the treatments, often with a slightly different response after each session.
Q4
Is the treatment painful?
You may experience some mild discomfort, more so during your first treatment session.
However most people find it easy to tolerate and as your skin begins to improve, the treatments should become even more comfortable.
We apply a cooling gel to the skin before treatment to manage the heat produced
Q5
Are there any side effects?
After your first treatment session, you will see some redness and slight swelling in the treated area, possibly with a slight darkening of the brown spots on the skin.
These side effects should lessen in a few hours, completely disappear within a few days, and be less noticeable after subsequent treatment sessions.
You can return to work or carry on with your day immediately after the treatment session.
Q6
How long does it take?
Treatment sessions usually take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Q7
How long do the results of IPL skin rejuvenation treatment last?
You may need top-up treatments every 6 or 12 months, depending on the condition treated, to maintain results.
