What is photo ageing?
One of the reasons for age related changes is exposure to sun. Skin becomes wrinkled, it looses its tone and becomes flabby, pigment changes occur, pores on skin surface enlarge and small vessels start to become more prominent.

How does IPL work?
IPL produces small flashes of broadband light. Unlike lasers which are one specific wavelength of light, IPL works by simultaneous effect of different wave lengths of light within the range of 560 to 1200 Nm. It is like having many lasers in one flash.
The different light lengths have different effects on different layers of the skin, IPL stimulates the natural production of collagen. The final rejuvenating effect of the IPL treatment becomes visible 4-6 months after the treatment. The skin appears smooth and fresh coloured. The skin texture improves and the pores and fine wrinkles show improvement and may disappear completely. Deep wrinkles and lines cannot be corrected/ removed by IPL. We can help these with other treatments which we have available for you.

How many treatments will be required?
At your consultation you will have a test patch to see how your skin responds to this treatment. This is a gentle and ‘no-downtime’ treatment so that you can return to your normal activities within a few hours. Although excellent results can be obtained after one session, the effects are cumulative and generally 4-6 sessions are required at 2-6 week intervals. Full effect is noticeable after 4- 6 months.
