IPL laser

Photo rejuvenation is a treatment that delivers high energy pulses of light (*IPL and broadband light) to addresses colour changes in the skin such as age spots, freckles, rosacea, and sun-damage. High energy pulses of light are delivered to the skin and are specifically absorbed by the areas of colour causing them to fade or shrink after treatments. This treatment also stimulates collagen which over time produces smoother tighter skin.

What should you expect? This treatment can be done in our clinic and lasts about 30-60 minutes. The sensation during treatment is that of heat being delivered to the skin. It’s tolerable and does not require anesthetic.

There is no downtime required after this treatment. The abnormal areas of treatment will tend to darken after the treatment and sluff off 2-3 days later revealing a more even skin tone. Photo rejuvenation is very popular for the face and is also excellent for the décolleté and the hands, which are also subject to sun-damage.

Treatments are required about every 4-6 months to maintain results. We also highly recommend effective sun protection in between treatments. It is a very popular treatment and we strongly recommended it for women who want to be proactive about preventing the signs of aging. We find that treatment typically starts around the age of 29-30, before deep wrinkles set in and it is often combined with Botox and fillers.
