Intense Pulsed Light Treatments in Stilbaai

The Intense Pulsed Light is a technology used by cosmetic practitioners to perform various skin treatments like hair removal, photo rejuvenation, acne, vein, and pigmentation treatment.

Before and after treatment care with the use of IPL is very important. No sun exposure for 48 hours prior to a treatment and 24 hours after treatment. Daily use of SPF30 sunscreen is also important. Do not prick or scratch at blemishes that will surface.Use light cosmetics for 24 hours. No retinol products 5 days prior and after treatments.

IPL delivers high intensity, controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin and is exactly absorbed by problem areas, especially pigmentation or facial veins, that causes it to fragment, while also stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin.

Normally 4 – 6 treatments are performed with 1-month intervals, thereafter an assessment is made if more sessions are required.

Skin Rejuvenation – IPL is used to treat fine lines, large pores, sun damage.

Acne – It destroy the acne and reduce blood supply to limit blood flow to the sebaceous glands.

Pigmentation – With photo rejuvenation the melanin is pulled to the surface of the skin. The spots will first darken. After 7 – 10 days (may differ from client to client) it will flake of and disappear.

Hair removal – Say goodbye to painful waxes, ingrown hairs after traditional hair removal treatments. Winter is the perfect time to prepare your body parts that you want to show off in summer with removal of hair with the IPL. With hair removal the IPL reduce the unwanted hair by destroying hair follicles to prevent hair growth.

Hair removal is semi permanent. With each IPL treatment more follicles are destroyed that lessen the outgrowth until it finally disappears. Depending on the deepness of the follicle some follicles may remain. Follow up sessions may be required after 6 to 12 months. Coarse or dark hair respond better therefore less treatments are required.

The area that needs to be treated must be shaved 24 hours prior to treatment. This is to prevent that the pulsed light does not burn the hair on the skin and may cause burn on the skin as the light pulse move down the hair shaft to penetrate the hair follicle.
