Sun Damage IPL PhotoRejuvenation Treatment
Everyone loves enjoying the sunshine, but prolonged sun exposure can have long-term effects on the skin. UV rays gradually reduce collagen production, leading to loss of firmness, uneven skin tone, and visible signs of aging. Combined with natural ageing, genetics, and environmental factors, sun damage can leave the skin looking dull, tired, and less youthful.
Ellipse IPL PhotoRejuvenation
Ellipse IPL is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by addressing common signs of sun damage and aging. Using advanced light technology, it targets pigmentation, redness, and fine lines, resulting in a clearer, more youthful complexion.
Common signs of sun-damaged skin include:
- Pigmentation & Age Spots: Uneven colour, sun spots, and freckles
- Redness: Diffuse redness and flushing
- Visible Blood Vessels: Thread veins or broken capillaries
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Accelerated signs of ageing
- Dull, Tired Skin: Loss of radiance and firmness
How the treatment works
Safe bursts of intense pulsed light (called Selective Waveband Technology by Ellipse, but often referred to as a laser) are directed at the skin. The system filters the light to ensure the wavelengths used are absorbed by haemoglobin in the fine blood vessels and melanin in the age spots. When cells containing a lot of melanin or haemoglobin are treated, the target heats up and is destroyed within a few thousandths of one second. Your skin texture is also improved, and many women report that it becomes easier to apply makeup. Facial treatments are most popular, but all parts of the body can be treated, helping you maintain a youthful and fresh appearance.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces Pigmentation: Minimizes age spots and uneven skin tone.
- Diminishes Redness: Soothes flushing and visible blood vessels.
- Improves Skin Texture: Enhances smoothness and firmness.
- Softens Fine Lines: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
- Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with effective results.
