The following can be treated with IPL Skin Improvement – Skinrejuvenation:

✔️ Skin rejuvenation

External elements accelerate skin aging. UV light from tanning beds and sunlight is the biggest culprit. But variables such as stress, medication, illness and smoking can also affect skin color. This leads to wrinkles, red veins and pigment spots. Now light therapy can treat these diseases well.

✔️ Sagging skin

Maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin depends on collagen. With age, collagen production decreases, which can cause wrinkles, lines and sagging skin. To keep the skin young, firm and supple, collagen is normally produced at a young age.

Collagen stimulation by pulsed light causes an increase and redistribution of collagen. This makes the recovery of the network of fibers possible. In addition, blood circulation and thus the oxygen supply in the skin is significantly improved, resulting in a strong and effective detoxification of the connective tissue of the skin. This makes the skin thicker, firmer and deep and fine wrinkles disappear.

✔️ Acne treatment

IPL acne treatment is not only safe but also effective. IPL treatment destroys acne bacteria on the skin by causing a reaction. The skin transforms high-energy light into heat by absorbing it. This heat destroys the P. Acnes bacteria. This bacteria is particularly responsible for the development of acne.

It takes two to three weeks for the results and the reduction of inflammation to take place. In addition, the redness of acne becomes less visible. IPL treatments kill bacteria and reduce sebum production. This helps the sebaceous glands to shrink, making them less likely to become clogged. an effective method to get a clean and beautiful skin.

✔️ Pigment disorders

Age spots, freckles and hyperpigmentation. These pigment spots, which can generally be treated well, are caused by a build-up of pigment, also called melanin. The pigment is brought to the surface deeper in the skin by the treatments.

The color will also become darker after the first two or three treatments. Small scabs will form as the skin sheds excess pigment. After a few treatments, the pigment spot will disappear.

✔️ Couperose:

Removing redness and veins

Couperose is thin blood vessels that dilate. The fine, red threads are located on the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead and décolleté. The skin becomes red-blue due to vasodilation. Facial redness caused by couperose can be effectively treated with IPL light therapy. The light beam used in IPL skin improvement treatments penetrates the skin and is absorbed into the blood.

The blood clots and the blood vessels break due to the heat. This method can also be used to remove spider veins, also called spider naevi. Depending on the extent to which these blood vessels are visible, a period of three to five treatments will be needed to remove them.
