IPL skin rejuvenation Maidstone is used to treat spider veins, also known as telangiectasias, the light generates heat in the veins. As with other spider vein treatments, this causes the walls of the vein to collapse and form scar tissue.

Eventually, these veins will be reabsorbed by the body and fade away after several weeks. In general, IPL affects the lower layers of the skin, rather than the top. This allows it to reach deeper structures, like the spider veins, without burning the surface of the skin.

IPL skin rejuvenation Maidstone produces specific wavelengths of light which are absorbed into the problem patches of skin. High concentrations of melanin absorb this light energy, breaking them down and reducing or removing the age spots without damaging any of the surrounding skin cells.

Heat energy also stimulates cells that produce elastin and collagen. This elastin and collagen regeneration or growth reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and leaves the skin looking fresher, healthier, and revitalized. The overall effect is lightening or removal of age spots.

Freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin aging and over-exposure to the sun or sun-beds.  From the age of about 40, your skin is less able to regenerate from sun exposure and the sun damage becomes more visible on your skin.

Generally, age spots pose no health risk, however, they can be unsightly and create a patchy, less youthful appearance. IPL pigment removal is a relatively quick and easy procedure where the age spots and freckles can be lightened or removed in as little as 4-5 easy IPL skin rejuvenation Southend sessions.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation Maidstone directly targets overactive sebaceous glands, greatly reducing the total number and severity of active lesions, and lessening the inflammation and occurrence of break-outs.

The light stimulates the production of new collagen to improve skin texture, and can also reduce the appearance of red or brown areas of skin that are often associated with acne breakout.

Sufferers have traditionally been prescribed oral and topical antibiotics to reduce the effects of rosacea. However, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) has also been clinically proven to successfully reduce its effects.

Dr. Patrick Bitter pioneered the use of IPL to treat rosacea in the USA and it is now widely regarded as one of the best treatments for rosacea sufferers. It works by using light energy to target capillaries in the skin. The light is absorbed by the skin which damages problem capillaries and allows them to be absorbed by the body through its natural processes. Once absorbed, the redness from rosacea will be less pronounced and, with multiple treatments, can disappear altogether.
