Overview

What is IPL?

Depending on the aim of the treatment, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) can stimulate the production of collagen to achieve clearer, smoother, tighter and rejuvenated skin. It is also excellent in the treatment of red veins, pigmentation.

Intense Pulsed Light by the Luminis Quantum is the treatment of choice for surface red veins. IPL releases precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the blood vessels, heating it to a point where it is destroyed. Following your treatments, the red veins will clear and are re-absorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original red vein.

The Treatment.

Broad spectrum pulsed light is transmitted through a continuously cooled applicator, gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in the hand piece change the range of wavelengths, optimizing it for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either the relevant chromophores and damages them (blood chromophores when treating vascular lesions and melanin chromophores when treating pigmented lesions).

The body’s natural processes then clear the lesion debris, giving the skin a more even and youthful appearance.
