IPL Skin Rejuvenation is a revolutionary procedure offered by Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter. This form of facial rejuvenation is streets ahead of other procedures aimed at tackling a range of common skin concerns, including: fine lines, age spots, sun damage, pigmentation, thread veins, rosacea, freckles, acne and acne scarring; as well as improving the look and feel of the skin. These conditions can affect both men and women of any age, and can cause the skin to be uneven in texture and tone. IPL skin rejuvenation can leave the skin looking and feeling its very best.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation can be used at our Chalfont St Peter clinic on the face, neck and décolletage. During the facial rejuvenation treatment, the M22 device’s Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) emits a series of powerful bursts of light that penetrate the skin. Working in the deeper layers of the dermis, the light energy works to do two things. Firstly, laser light is drawn to skin cells that are pigmented; destroying the cell so it can be naturally removed by the body. Secondly, the fibroblasts are stimulated which encourages the production of healthy new cells and collagen. IPL skin rejuvenation can be incredibly effective after just one treatment however, at Dr Grace Kelly Skin Rejuvenation Clinic we often recommend a course of 3 – 6 sessions (performed 4 weeks apart) for flawless looking skin.
Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter uses the Lumenis Stellar M22 device to perform IPL Skin Rejuvenation, a powerful, multi-application platform that produces safe and effective outcomes for all skin types and tones. Often described as the ‘gold standard’ in skin treatments, M22 can treat over 30 conditions and produces outstanding results.
As the lasers are attracted to excess pigmentation in the cells, IPL facial rejuvenation works best on untanned skin. A clearer, smoother and fresher appearance is achieved without causing significant trauma to the surrounding skin and tissues, and results can usually be seen just a few days after the skin rejuvenation procedure.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation can be suitable for many people with varying skin types however, the result can be more noticeable in those with fairer skin tones. A consultation with Dr Grace Kelly in Chalfont St Peter will determine your suitability for this facial rejuvenation treatment, outlining the results you are likely to achieve.
The modern technology used in the IPL skin rejuvenation device filters the wavelengths to below 500 nm. Coupled with trained professionals who use their knowledge and expertise to carry out this treatment with care, patients can feel assured that the facial rejuvenation procedure is safe to undergo at our skin rejuvenation clinic.
IPL skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that many of our Buckinghamshire patients describe as being pain free. You may experience some slight tingling while the procedure is taking place, which disappears once the treatment is over.
Immediately after the IPL photorejuvenation treatment at our Chalfont St Peter clinic, the face may look red and could feel sensitive – similar to if you have mild sunburn. These effects typically disappear within a couple of days.
Bruising, blistering, skin discolouration and infection are other potential complications which are experienced in very rare cases.
As skin sensitivity is a common side effect of IPL skin rejuvenation, you should be careful when exposing treated skin to the sun. You can protect your skin from further sensitivity by using gentle skincare products and ensuring you apply a high SPF, everyday.
IPL for photo-rejuvenation works by using light pulses to penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfections in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastin stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone and overall appearance.
