WHAT IS IT ?

The skin aging process is accompanied by a decrease in collagen density, loss of adequate moisture level, firmness and elasticity. One of the safest and least invasive methods of skin rejuvenation is the intense pulsed light or IPL photorejuvenation. This treatment is recommended for people who want to slow down the skin's aging process, as well as all those who struggle with vascular changes, rosacea, enlarged pores, erythema, as well as dark spots caused by sun exposition or age. IPL photorejuvenation can be used on any part of the body, but the face, neck, shoulders, décolleté and hands are the most popular areas.

HOW DOES IT WORK ?

Photorejuvenation is done through exposure to intense pulsed light, which heats the skin. The light emitted stimulates the cells to produce new collagen and elastin. The increase in the number of collagen fibers is responsible for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and overall skin regeneration. Intense pulsed light is also absorbed by the skin's hemoglobin and melanin, thereby reducing redness and brown spots.
