WHAT IS IPL SKIN REJUVENATION?

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.

HOW DOES IPL SKIN REJUVENATION WORK?

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.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM YOUR SKIN REJUVENATION CLINIC?

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 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.
