Our Skin Pigmentation Removal is a quick and non-invasive treatment. Namely, IPL is a fantastic therapy for erasing pigmentation.

The process of photoaging

As we age, we realize that the skin on the exposed areas of the body such as the face, neck and hands are aging much earlier. Lost elasticity, age spots, various vascular lesions, the skin becomes rough and covered with a network of fine wrinkles. Of course, a lot depends on genes, constitutional features of the person and the state of the organism as a whole, but the aging process significantly exacerbated by natural aggressor – the sun. On one hand, it is useful: sunbeams help the body to produce vitamin D, without them, we would have remained constantly under depression and our immunity would hopelessly weakened. On the other hand, an excess of solar radiation leads to premature failure of the structural components of the skin such as collagen and elastin fibers and increases the number of pigmented and vascular lesions. This process is called photoaging.

About the pigmentation treatment

Over the past decade, there was invented a great variety of rejuvenating treatments to combat photoaging: mechanical dermabrasion, various chemical peels, laser resurfacing etc. However, an excellent cosmetic effect usually comes after a long and painful recovery period. Fortunately, scientists cooperated with practitioners and came up with another, less painful solution with no downtime. This state-of-art treatment is called photofacial, photo rejuvenation or IPL.

WHAT IS PHOTOFACIAL – IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT) REJUVENATION?

Indeed, environmental challenges, polluted air and solar radiation are the main reasons of premature skin aging and wrinkle formation. Photorejuvenation/photofacial is an excellent solution to a number of facial and body skin problems, helping eliminate dryness, flabbiness, age spots, acne and post-acne scarring.

Laser-assisted rejuvenation (photorejuvenation/photo facial) is a correction method aimed at fighting back skin aging effects with the help of high-intensity impulse light source. A laser ray activates cellular processes involved in the formation of collagen and elastin, two proteins in charge of skin tone and suppleness. It helps the skin restore its youthfulness and natural beauty. Moreover, high-frequency laser energy stimulates blood circulation, regulates lipoid balance and reduces the size of the pores. In general, the procedure is a safe and efficient method of improving skin structure and appearance.
