IPL Skin Rejuvenation

A Brief Overview

Lumenis® IPL Photorejuvenation is an innovative treatment method that has enabled us to achieve remarkable improvements in numerous skin problems. The Intense Pulsated Light (IPL) Skin Rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure covering over 30 different skin conditions all with the added benefit of having no downtime after treatments.

How Does IPL Skin Rejuvenation Work?

IPL skin rejuvenation works by rapid, intense and controlled light pulses being beamed into the skin via different wavelengths. This penetrates the tissue and attacks haemoglobin and pigment. This is all done by a versatile handpiece which controls the pulsing and protects thermal damage to the skin resulting in new collagen, elastin fibres and improvement of the appearance of the skin.
