HOW DOES IPL WORK?

  • Heat from the light causes collagen to shrink, acting as a stimulus to the fibroblast cells to from new collagen & elastin.
  • Light is absorbed by haemoglobin or melanin, shrinking the capillary or fragmenting the melanin.

TREATMENT EXPERIENCE

  • The sensation of the pulsed light is similar to the snap of an elastic band against the skin.
  • The skin feels warm, but is cooled immediately.

POST TREATMENT
