- Skin texture: By stimulating collagen production, IPL can improve the overall texture of the skin, making it smoother and more youthful-looking.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: IPL treatments can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
- Acne and acne scarring: IPL can target the bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. It can also help to reduce the appearance of acne scars by encouraging new collagen production and skin cell turnover.
- Photorejuvenation: IPL can help reverse signs of sun damage and aging, leading to a more radiant and rejuvenated complexion.

How does it work?
IPL Photorejuvenation Technology
Our IPL laser with Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) enables us to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance.
The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology allows treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance.
The Treatment
To ensure utmost comfort, we will apply cold coupling gel on the treatment area. Depending on your specific concern, you can expect the session to last 15-30 minutes.

When I See The Results?
The Lumenis® Optima™ IPL Photorejuvenation treatment works with your skin to remove your imperfections and stimulate collagen and elastic fiber production over a sequence of treatments. Some skin concerns such as shallow pigmentation and age/sun spots may be cleared with as few as 1-2 treatments.
Typically, a course of 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results for most skin concerns.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness, depending on your customized treatment settings. The redness will usually disappear within a few hours. In most cases, makeup may be immediately applied, and daily activities can be resumed the very same day.
Typically we advise that you stay out of direct sun for a few days following the treatment and to apply sun screen.

The technology enables us to offer you remarkable results on a range of skin concerns, like age and sun spots, freckles, birthmarks, rosacea and broken capillaries. IPL laser produces high-intensity light in a short period of time. Unlike a conventional laser, IPL uses many different wavelengths of light that’s scattered and less focused.
Patients will begin to see results 7-10 days after an IPL laser treatment. Full results from a course of treatments can be seen after two weeks. Since the IPL stimulates new collagen, continual results will build up to 6 months after the treatment.
