IPL Photorejuvenation

IPL Photorejuvenation at Cosmedica Clinic

An all-time favourite among lunchtime photo-facials, IPL (more correctly called Flash lamps) uses filtered non-coherent light to selectively destroy melanin-laden cells, blood-filled capillaries and hair roots in a process called Selective Photothermolysis.

Understanding how the different chromospheres absorb light has spawned a whole new field we now call “photo-rejuvenation”.

We are now able to use this technology to remove pigmentation, superficial capillaries and provide permanent hair reduction.

Also recent studies have confirmed the efficacy of flash lamps in, activating blood-circulation, killing acne causing bacteria as well as stimulating new collagen production.

The treatment itself is painless and usually lasts 25 minutes.

The number of treatments depends on the patient’s condition and what result has to be achieved.

Usually 4 or 5 monthly sessions are required.
