Your Body Is Your Temple – Why IPL Rejuvenation Is Essential?

Emma Taker

I’ve always wondered how some celebrities look really, really great for their age. I know they owe their fit figures to their personal nutritionists and fitness trainers, but how do famous ladies in their 40s such as Jenifer Lopez for example, look like they are 25 and have such a perfect complexion, glowing skin and NO wrinkles? The world of cosmetic procedures is just amazing.

I’ve heard of some bizarre beauty treatments that celebrities and the “less known yet, more fortunate” (rich women) use to maintain their flawless appearance, but to be honest, I don’t think this is their secret. Lead by my curiosity, or should I say desire and determination to find the solution to my first under-eye wrinkles, I decided to do some research on the most popular cosmetic treatments. And guess what, tomorrow I have an appointment at a renowned Melbourne skin clinic for an IPL skin rejuvenation treatment.

I revealed the secret! Laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technologies are some of the most popular cosmetic treatments that are used for treating various skin issues. So, let’s take a closer look at IPL skin rejuvenation as one of the foolproof treatments you can use to improve the look of your skin.

Reasons for undergoing IPL treatment

Do not hesitate to search for a reputable Melbourne skin clinic to appoint an IPL skin treatment if you want and need to:

  • Treat broken and spider veins;
  • Eliminate broken capillaries;
  • Deal with age spots;
  • Treat skin damages caused by prolonged skin exposure;
  • Treat and reduce wrinkles;
  • Reduce facial redness (Rosacea) and uneven skin colour.

What is IPL

IPL or Intense Pulse Light is a cosmetic treatment that is performed with the use of high-intensity pulses of visible lights. It is a non-invasive treatment which means there are no needles and surgery procedures, thus there’s no disruption of the surface of the skin. IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are used for treating skin conditions on the face, neck, hands and chest.

How is an IPL skin treatment performed

This procedure is performed with the use of a special device that delivers pulses of light to the skin surface. Before targeting the broad spectrum of lights, special gel is applied to the affected skin area. The beam of lights which turns into heat energy, penetrates deeply under the skin. It’s main function is to stimulate the reaction of the epidermis cells to eliminate the dead skin cells and start the skin regeneration. This natural skin-regeneration process improves the look of the skin and is generally performed in a series of four to six treatments. The number of treatments is determined individually, depending on your specific skin problem, needs and requirements. However, no matter how many treatments you’ll need to undergo, the interval between every two treatments should be about three weeks.
