Photo Rejuvenation – Skin repair for a healthy and radiant complexion
At Koren’s Beauty, I offer a range of Medical IPL skin rejuvination treatments for different skin issues using the SkinBase medically certified IPL system. I offer advanced treatments for skin concerns such as acne, thread veins, broken capillaries, campbell de morgan spots, rosacea, pigmentation, lines and wrinkles. These treatments come under 3 categories; acne, vascular lesions and photorejuvenation.
Medical IPL therapy treats;
Acne and acne scarring
Age spots
pigmentation
campbell de morgan spots/cherry angiomas
Fine lines and wrinkles
Scarring
Uneven skin surface
Broken capillaries
Thread veins
IPL for photorejuvenation uses beams of light to target structures in the skin such as pigmentation or broken capillaries and safely but effectively remove them. During the photorejuvenation the IPL penetrates the skins surface to reduce and eliminate; discolouration, age spots, redness and fine lines, to name a few. Photorejuvenation also promotes collagen production which floods to the surface smoothing wrinkles and removing fine lines. The treatment is suitable for most skin types, I will be able to adjust the settings on the IPL system to suit your particular needs and ensure you see the best results.
How does it work?
IPL uses specific light pulses to target structures within the skin such as melanin and blood. The light pulses break down the structures to improve the appearance of the skin. This is why it is effective for skin concerns like broken capillaries or age spots.The light pulses also stimulate collagen production which floods to the area; plumping the skin, reducing wrinkles; and resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Acne
During acne treatment, the IPL system releases yellow, green and red light that is emitted in a series of short pulses. This destroys the bacteria that live in the skin and cause inflammation, while the red light directly targets the overactive sebaceous glands that block pores and cause outbreaks of pustules. The light also stimulates collagen production in the area helping to improve the appearance of acne scarring.
Benefits of IPL for acne
destroys the bacteria on the skin preventing new spots occuring
Prevents over-production of sebum and dramatically reduces inflamation
Stimulates collagen production reducing the appearance of scarring and improving skin texture
Quickly see a noticable difference in the condition of your skin
Require 3-4 treatments, 2-3 weeks apart.
Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation is the treatment of ‘photo-ageing’ which includes wrinkles, pigmentation and age spots. IPL treatment encourages the skin to repair itself and produce new cells and increase its collagen production. It is a very effective and non-invasive form of treatment that requires no down time. A SkinBase IPL photorejuvenation treatment will not only remove pigmentation and sun damage but also improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles. Sun damage from UV exposure is a major factor in skin ageing. Unfortunately, our desire to have tanned skin has only resulted in us ageing more quickly. Even everyday facial movements like frowning can result in fine lines appearing. These deepen into wrinkles over time. An IPL Photofacial aims to address these issues; stimulating the skin’s natural processes and reversing the effects of ageing, giving you a youthful appearance. It is a very effective and non-invasive form of treatment and therefore requires no downtime. A SkinBase IPL photorejuvenation treatment will not only remove pigmentation and sun damage but also improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles.Photorejuvenation stimulates the body to heal and create new collagen. Hence the appearance of what we call ‘Photodamage’ (ageing caused by UV such as pigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles) is improved. A course of SkinBase photorejuvenation facials will result in a fresher, healthier appearance of the skin. The treatment is perfect for fine lines and wrinkles and those seeking minimal ‘downtime’ from their skin treatments.
Benefits of Photorejuvenation
Treats sun damage including age spots and pigmentation
Reduces redness and uneven pigmentation
Skin looks smoother and more even in appearance
Reduces facial wrinkles and fine lines.
Great for improving skin tone.
Requires 3-6 treatments, 2-3 weeks apart.
Vascular lesions
Thread veins are often seen on the face, especially the cheeks and nose. They can be caused by excessive exposure to UV radiation but some people are simply more susceptible to them and they can be present from childhood. Facial telangiectasias usually respond well to IPL treatment. IPL therapy treats thread veins by emitting wavelengths of light that are filtered to target the haemoglobin in the thread veins/broken capillaries. The
treatment causes the vein to gradually break down over a number of days until it has disappeared. IPL for vascular lesion treatment effectively treats thread veins, rosacea and campbell de morgan spots/cherry angiomas. Requires only 1-3 treatments at 2-3 week intervals.
Does it hurt?
The SkinBase IPL system has a unique cryo-cooling handset which helps to numb the area before treatment by cooling it down. You will feel a slight warm tingling sensation which is minimised by the cooling effect from the cryo-handset.
If you decide you want to find out more, the next step is to come in for a consultation. I will carry out a thorough and comprehensive sonsultation before treatment to check your suitability and discuss what we hope to acheive. A patch test will also be performed to check for any adverse reaction and establish the correct energy settings prior to commencing your course of treatments.
