IPL Intense Pulse Light

What is Intense Pulse Light?
Also known as “Epilight”, this hair reduction system is non-invasive and can be used for reduction of hair from all parts of the body. It is not a laser. Strong scientific studies have enabled the FDA to claim this treatment method to have the highest percentage of hair removal permanency. 84%, in fact over a two-year period of comparing two laser forms of hair removal.

How does it work?
Using pulsed light at predetermined wavelengths, IPL impairs the hair follicle’s ability to grow. This treatment effectively disables the hair while it’s in the active growth phase. Since hair has three distinctive phases of growth, we recommend at least three treatments, possibly up to five, scheduled 4 –5 weeks apart.

What can I expect?
More comfortable than Laser Hair Removal, IPL feels a bit like small rubber bands snapping. Once the treatment is complete, you may experience temporary, slight redness or swelling. On more sensitive areas, a numbing cream is applied prior to treatment.

Who is eligible for IPL hair reduction?
The Intense Pulse Light is ideal for someone with dark hair on an untanned skin. To assure successful treatments, we recommend that you NOT tan during treatments or one month after, to avoid the possibility of any hyper pigmentation.



Photo Rejuvenation

What is Photo Rejuvenation
Intense Pulse Light is a gentle, alterative way to rejuvenate sun-damaged, devitalized, acneic or even Rosacea skin types. It can be done as a facial treatment or on particular body areas.

Advantages of IPL Photo Rejuvenation
Would you like to enjoy any of the following?

• Tightening of the skin
• Improvement in appearance of pore size
• Reversal of sun damage
• Disappearance of red lines and spots
• Decrease in fine lines and wrinkles
• Fading of brown spots and freckles
• Decrease in skin redness from Rosacea or sun damage
• Calming of Rosacea skin conditions
• Improved appearance of acne scars and their discoloration
• Reduction in dark facial hair

Compare IPL Photo Rejuventation vs. Laser
IPL is performed with many wavelengths of light simultaneously, so it can penetrate all levels of the skin, and gently treat irregularities. Laser produces a single wavelength of light, and traditional laser treatments can often be limited to facial areas only.  Laser can also pose impractical, lengthy recovery periods, as well as high risk of scarring after uncomfortable treatments.

Experience the difference
With the IPL Photo Rejuvenation method, your aesthetician can treat many layers of damaged skin, without risk of scarring and down time. This treatment CANNOT be done on tanned skin. Photo Rejuvenation can be done on non-facial skin also, such as neck, chest, arms, hands and even sensitive skin.

How many treatment will I need?
For the best results, we recommend five to seven full-face IPL treatments scheduled at four week intervals. This will depend on your desired level of skin rejuvenation. For example, people who struggle with Rosacea, or unwanted redness and flushed complexions, may need more than five to seven treatments. Or, for people with multiple skin irregularities, Microdermabrasion in between IPL visits may be necessary to achieve success.
