How does IPL skin rejuvenation work?
IPL
emits a light energy that breaks up the pigments in skin cells,
causing little to no discomfort. Best of as well as treating
skin imperfections, IPL activates natural collagen and elastin
production in the active skin cells (fibroblasts), improving
the skin’s overall texture and complexion. Skin rejuvenation
treatments overall improve the skin’s colour and texture,
reduce fine lines and wrinkles and minimises open pores.
Is IPL skin rejuvenation safe?
When
combining medically graded and FDA approved skin rejuvenation
technologies with qualified Skin and Laser Specialists, IPL
skin rejuvenation is very safe. Palomar MultiLux IPL is a
trusted name in the industry and our Skin and Laser Specialist
team are experts, offering extensive skin rejuvenation and
laser hair removal experience.
Why
go anywhere else when we specialise in skin rejuvenation and
laser hair removal treatments using premium technologies?
Why
do I need a consultation?
Consultations are conducted with clients before the treatment
to:
• Assess if the IPL treatment is appropriate for you
• Explain the skin rejuvenation process
• Advise pre and post treatment care instructions
• Perform a test patch. This will allow you to feel
the IPL on your skin and see the results for yourself.
• Advise the cost of treatment
Are IPL treatments painful?
Tolerance
levels vary for all. In most cases clients will say that they
felt no pain or a slight sensation that was minimal and tolerable.
Topical
anaesthetic creams are not required, however available for
individuals who wish to numb the skin pre treatment.
How
should I prepare before for my treatment?
To
minimise the possibility of adverse skin effects we recommend
avoiding the following activities for at least 2 to 4 weeks
prior to your treatment:
•
Sun exposure (apply SPF 30 + sunscreen daily)
• Solariums
• Topical fake tans
• Prescription strength exfoliants
Are
there any post treatment restrictions?
Your
Skin and Laser Specialist will advise you post treatment care
instructions during your treatment. In most cases, once the
redness has calmed down you are able to resume with your normal
activities. It is best to treat the area with care as you
would a mild sunburn.
Please
avoid the following activities until the redness has calmed
down:
• Use of prescription strength exfoliant creams
• Swimming pools and spas with multiple chemicals/ chlorine
• Activities that cause excessive perspiration
Please
avoid the following activities in between and post treatments:
• Sun exposure (apply SPF 30 + sunscreen daily on areas
being treated)
• Solariums (cover all areas being treated)
Is IPL skin rejuvenation permanent?
When qualified and highly trained Skin and Laser Specialists
perform treatments such as the team at The Laser Lounge, IPL
skin rejuvenation treatments are very effective.
Results
may last for several years and IPL will provide significant
benefits to damaged skin. However due to a combination of
factors such as life style and free radical damage, maintenance
treatments may be recommended.
It
is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and apply SPF
30+ sunscreen daily during and post treatments.
How
do I know if IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are working
for me?
You will see real results during your treatment course. Your
skin will initially look red and flushed for a couple of days
post treatment and then shortly after the redness will start
to minimise. The results will become more impressive with
each successive treatment. Your skin’s overall texture
and complexion will also improve throughout the treatment
course.
Our
clients are continually experiencing great results and value
for money at The Laser Lounge!
How
many treatments will I need?
For
best results, on average we recommend completing 4 to 6 treatments.
As the condition of skin and individual expectations will
differ the number of treatments required may vary. During
your consultation your Skin and Laser Specialist will discuss
a personalised treatment plan for you.
Maintenance
treatments may be recommended to be performed on the area
for some clients based on the skin’s colour, condition
and personal lifestyle.
How
do I know when to come in for my next treatment?
On average we recommend treating the area 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Your Skin and Laser Specialist will assess your individual
progress throughout your treatment course, recommending the
best time to return for your follow up treatment. If you are
uncertain, please feel free to ask our team.
How
will I look in between the treatments?
Post
treatment the skin may be slightly swollen and/or red. This
is very normal and will disappear shortly after. Your skin’s
overall texture and complexion will also improve throughout
the treatments.
Are
there any risks or side effects?
Immediately
following an IPL skin rejuvenation treatment, clients may
experience either slightly reddened or goose bump like skin.
It feels somewhat like a mild sunburn. This effect is very
normal and will disappear shortly after. Damage to the skin
is very rare and only in some few cases, clients may experience
pigment change in the skin. If this occurs, the skin will
typically return to normal over time. In saying this, our
Skin and Laser Specialist team are experienced and are here
to ensure you experience a satisfying treatment.
Will my medication affect my treatment?
Certain medications may affect your IPL skin rejuvenation
treatment if they are photosensitive (such as Roaccutane and
Retin A which can cause pigmentation). If you are taking any
medications it is best to advise your Skin and Laser Specialist
so that we can ensure the best possible treatment results
for you. Depending on the medication course, we may suggest
performing treatments at least 2 to 6 months after taken.
