Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment (SR)
What is Laser Skin Rejuvenation Treatment (SR)?
SR is a skin rejuvenation treatment using a combination of intense pulse light (IPL) and radio frequency (RF) energies. These two technologies enhance one other to combat unwanted pigmentation, 'spider veins', fine wrinkles and sun damage. Skin becomes lighter, firmer, and more radiant.
How does it work?
Energy from the IPL is absorbed by damaged skin cells or by red blood cells in the superficial dilated capillaries. Radio Frequency waves aid the absorption of the IPL energy by the target cells. These cells die under the influence of IPL-RF and get cleared away by skin cells called phagocytes.
Results and After Care
Immediate skin tightening is observed after the first treatment and results continue to improve over time as new collagen is stimulated. A high factor UVA/UVB SPF protection should be applied after treatment, but all other creams should be avoided for 1-2 hours immediately after the treatment. This will increase the efficacy of the therapy as the treatment aims to induce inflammatory reactions in skin and recovery creams can interfere with this. Creams can be applied once skin is no longer red and warm. Normal skin care routine is advised but high SPF factor should be used at least for 6 weeks following the IPL-RF therapy.
Sessions and Frequency
A course of 3 treatments is recommended, 1-1.5 months apart. After the course is complete a top up treatment every 6-12 months is recommended to enhance and prolong the result.
