IPL+RF skin rejuvenation & wrinkles reduction

IPL+RF skin rejuvenation &  wrinkles reduction

IPL + RF rejuvenation is a non-invasive skin procedure utilizing an intense pulse light machine. IPL+RF differs from laser treatments as it offers a non-ablative solution to improving the texture, quality, color and health of your skin.
In addition to improving uneven skin color, sun damage, facial redness (Rosacea), and pigmentation, the heat energy stimulates new collagen production beneath the skin surface which remodels the collagen, firms the skin and shrinks the pores. After a series of photo rejuvenation treatments at intervals spaced 4 weeks apart; a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles can also be seen. The skin appears more luminous, brighter and smoother. Improvements can be seen 10 days following the first treatment and enhanced results can be seen with each subsequent treatment.
IPL Photo Facial Rejuvenation treatment is safe. Advanced light systems have been used safely for millions of treatments worldwide. These systems treat only the targeted tissues, leaving the surrounding tissue intact.

How does the treatment work?

IPL + RF rejuvenation device delivers rapid pulses or flashes of high intensity visible light to selected target tissues in the skin.  Varying the energy settings and wavelengths of the light pulses targets the pigmentation, small blood vessels and the collagen of the skin, which absorb and respond to the Intense Pulsed Light energy. Pigmented brown spots lighten and blend in, dilated, or “broken”, blood vessels decrease, and collagen and elastic tissue increase causing wrinkles to diminish.
