Photorejuvenation (IPL)

Photorejuvenation describes the skin's response to light treatments. After the treatment, the skin builds collagen over the following two months to give an improved, healthier appearance.

We utilize Lumenis M22 IPL, Quantum IPL, Fraxel (Laser) and Omnilux (LED) to stimulate this skin response.
IPL technology is a revolutionary treatment with the ability to improve a variety of benign skin conditions. IPL is safe, non-invasive and can be tailored to each patient.  

Revolutionary treatment for: 
  • facial ageing
  • birthmarks
  • unwanted hair
  • unsightly small red veins
  • pigmentation
  • superior cosmetic results
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)  with our Brand New M22 Lumenis IPL

M22 is the gold standard multi application platform for the treatment of skin conditions and hair removal. Used by physicians around the world, M22 enables us to treat more conditions with better outcomes.

Lumenis M22 Nd:YAG module, can treat telangiectasias, hemangiomas and other vascular lesions.

As well as our M22 IPL we also have our new LightSheer DUET by Lumenis, which includes two optimal wavelength 800 nm diode hair removal systems on one versatile platform. 

The LightSheer's dual heads enables permanent hair reduction from all areas of the body. Its advanced technology reduces pain while increasing efficacy, enabling fast and comfortable treatments for patients and practitioners. Lasers remove hair through a process of selective photothermolysis in which energy in the form of optical wavelengths is delivered into the hair shaft and pigmented follicular epithelium.

Choose IPL at the Vein and Skin Clinic to improve skin imperfections, signs of facial aging, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small red veins and pigment problems. Consult an experienced cosmetic nurse at the Vein and Skin Clinic to see how IPL can work for you. 


Photorejuvenation FAQs

What conditions can Photorejuvenation treat?

  • Age spots
  • Sun spots
  • Sun damage
  • Mottled pigmentation
  • Ruddy/dull complexion
  • Freckles
  • Rosacea (redness of nose and/or cheeks)
  • Facial imperfections
 

How is the Photorejuvenation procedure performed?

A cold gel is applied to the area to be treated. Dark glasses are used to protect the eyes. The smooth glass surface of the IPL hand piece is gently applied to the skin and pulses of light are emitted. A slight sting like the snapping of a rubber band may be experienced. An anaesthetic cream may be used beforehand, but is seldom required. 

Treatment is generally administered in a series of procedures. Completion of a course of treatment provides excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. 

Each treatment takes from twenty minutes. A series of 2-6 treatment sessions may be necessary, depending on the individual.

What makes Photorejuvenation with Lumenis M22 and Quantum IPL special?

Lumenis 1One and Quantum IPL is a true fourth generation intense pulsed light (IPL) system. It utilises patented state of the art technology to optimise power, pulsing and light delivery. Lumenis One provides maximum results, comfort and safety. 

More physicians are using Lumenis and Quantum IPL systems. Lumenis and Quantum IPL is the Gold Standard and Lumenis 1One is the flagship system.

Advanced technology can be expensive. While other practices may promote similar treatments with cheaper, lower powered technology there are visible differences in results. The Vein and Skin Clinic believes in providing only the very best treatment, which is why we use Lumenis 1One and Quantum IPL.

How does Lumenis M22 work?

The IPL Intense Pulsed Light technology allows treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overal skin appearance. Lumenis IPL with Optimal Pulse Technology enables us to customize the treatment according to your skin type and desired results, with maximum safety. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin in a controlled manner.   

The light is absorbed either superficially by broken capillaries and dark pigment, or deeper by larger vessels and collagen. Dilated capillaries coagulate, pigmented lesions darken and then slough off, and new collagen fibres are laid down. This gives the skin a renewed and more youthful appearance.

What areas can be treated?

Photorejuvenation with Lumenis 1One and Quantum can used to treat any area of the body. The most common areas are the face, neck, chest and hands.

Why are multiple treatments necessary?

By dividing the full program into several treatments (4-6 treatments), Photorejuvenation provides gradual improvement with very low risk, preserving the convenience of a ‘no downtime’ procedure.

Return to work and regular activities can occur immediately post treatment.
