Skin Rejuvenation

For skin rejuvenation we offer a range of treatments, one of which is the latest device from Alma which is the Harmony XL Pro Dye-SR, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). What makes Harmony XL Pro IPL Laser so special is that we can treat Fitzpatrick skin types 1-4 safely and pain free unlike old traditional IPL.

As we age we lose 2-5% collagen and elastin every year from the age of 25 years which creates fine lines and wrinkles. Once ladies go through the menopause they lose an additional 30% collagen due to the reduction of oestrogen in their body.

The loss of collagen also causes loose skin that begins to sag around the eyes and jawline. Our market leading Laser & IPL treatments are highly effective at creating a more youthful, flawless glowing appearance even without make-up. Skin is tightened whilst pore size and skin texture are also improved.

OUR TREATMENT FOR SKIN REJUVENATION

To stimulate new collagen and elastin production longer wavelengths are used which are similar to those that are used for IPL hair removal. These wavelengths provide complete skin rejuvenation by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, skin tightening as well as improving the texture of the skin.

For the most advanced IPL experience check out the Fiji Filter Facial This has an additional benefit as it starts with a peel to allow the IPL to penetrate deeper into the skin as it completely exfoliates the skin. All pigmentation and redness/red veins are also removed during the Fiji Filter Facial. Results are seen in just one treatment but a course of 3 – 6 is recommended.

All IPL treatments require a consultation and patch test to discuss client skin concerns and treatment suitability. The patch test is required to see how your skin responds and to determine the settings needed for a full IPL treatment. Patch Tests are required 7 days before treatment

What to expect from Skin Rejuvenation

Cool ultra sound gel is applied before the IPL crystal block is rested on the skin. The IPL feels flicky and warm on the skin as light is administered, no numbing cream is required. There is minimal discomfort and downtime after treatment.

Clients must not have been exposed to the sun or sunbeds in the last 4-6 weeks before treatment. It’s also essential that fake tan has not been applied to the skin for at least 10 days before treatment.

If you are on prescription skincare, please seek advice from your practitioner to advise how soon you are able to reapply after treatment.
