IPL- Intense Pulsed Light


IPL is a non-invasive procedure that is used to treat a wide variety of skin
conditions without disrupting the skins surface. 


IPL is used for:-
               Pigmented spots, freckles and sun damage
               Small veins and capillaries
               Rosacea 
               Hyperpigmentation from acne scarring
               Permanent hair reduction

Broken capillaries before                       Broken capillaries after 5 IPL treatments

Photorejuvenation treatments can improve the skins appearance by
removing pigmented lesions caused by  sun exposure and also reduce
redness ,fine lines and enlarged pores leaving skin looking younger and
rejuvenated. These treatments can be done for sundamaged skin on the
face, neck, décolletage and forearms.


Before                                                After 4 IPL treatments


IPL treatments usually take about half an hour , there is minimal discomfort
( it has been likened to a flicking sensation ) and there is no downtime –
meaning it can be a lunch-time procedure as people can return to normal
activities straight away.

At The Skin Rejuvenation Clinic we use IPL to treat:-

Sun damaged and photo-aged skin that shows irregular pigmentation,
fine lines and freckling from chronic sun exposure. There is a visible
improvement after a series of treatments.

Sun damage before                              Sun damage after 4 IPL treatments

Erythema – which is a flushed red appearance of the skin that initially
only occurs following exposure to cold or heated environments or red
wine but becomes a constant flushed appearance over time. Clients
can expect a 50-75% reduction in erythema/flushing  after just 5
treatments

Flushing - before IPL                            After 4  IPL treatments

Rosacea- is an inflammatory condition of the skin which can’t be cured
but can be significantly improved with a series of treatments.

Acne-scarring which has left hyper-pigmented areas and erythema
can be effectively reduced with a series of treatments.

Permanent hair reduction of any dark hair that is unwanted
( IPL can only target hair that has pigment in it – so is ineffective for
fine fair hairs) Our IPL machine has FDA approval for permanent hair
reduction based on 76% hair reduction at 12 months and 84% hair
reduction at 24 months following a series of treatments.


 

At the Skin Rejuvenation Clinic we use a Quantum Lumenis IPL machine
that is a medical grade IPL machine. Lumenis invented and trade marked
the IPL technology and are recognized as the gold standard leaders in IPL
technology. All our treatments are supervised by Dr Brigid Lee and all our
