Intense pulsed light therapy is the latest progressive technology aimed at eliminating various skin photoaging defects.
How much is the intense pulsed light treatment?
Spectrum is a multifunctional photosystem that promotes skin cooling for phototherapy, photorejuvenation, involvement of vascular pathologies and spot infections, acne therapy.
Spectrum latest development in flashlight technology. The system is designed in compliance with the principles of simplicity, applicability and efficiency.
Patients get visible impressive results after individual use of cyclic sessions. Pulsed light stimulates the formation of new collagen, which improves skin tone, structure and radiance. Due to the high speed and high speed of operation, Spectrum requires skin tightening without trauma and surgical interventions.
Pigmentation, red spots on the face, redheads, large pores, age spots, inflamed veins: the Spectrum pulsed light device has a targeted effect on extensive skin defects.
Spectrum can be registered for all areas of the body, even in areas such as the face, neck and hands. The test results after 4-5 sessions improve in the following months.
Intense pulsed light therapy gives excellent results in eliminating various skin defects, normalizes moisture exchange processes, smoothes wrinkles, eliminates blood vessels and spots on the face, hands and in the presence of the decollete, and most importantly, shows the appearance of new ones.
PHOTOTHERAPY IPL - APPLICATION
Photorejuvenation is the rejuvenation of the face and body with the help of a light flux.
How it works? Old and stretched collagen molecules are sensitive to the light flux of this spectrum. They get hot and break down. Immediately, the body gives a command to restore collagen fibers. And they begin to synthesize at an accelerated pace. Thanks to this, tissue regeneration, lifting and rejuvenation occurs.
At the same time, another process is going on. Due to heating, cross-links in molecules are broken. As a result, the fibers reduce the volume by 1/3, while their length increases. Thanks to this, they produce new collagen, giving the skin radiance and elasticity.
What does it give? As a result, you will feel younger and more beautiful:
small wrinkles are smoothed out;
the elasticity, tone and turgor of the skin will increase;
the oval of the face will tighten;
the skin will become smoother, velvety and pleasant to the touch;
peeling and tightness will be eliminated;
cell renewal is activated, and due to this, self-healing and tissue regeneration will occur;
pores will shrink, your skin will improve and look fresh and rested.
Pigmentation occurs as a result of excessive melanin content. Light radiation burns melanin particles. The speed of their elimination depends on the depth at which the melanin has spread. The deeper it is, the more procedures will be required. So, if you have them, it is better to remove them as soon as possible, until the melanin has spread deeper.
At the moment, Ipl is considered one of the safest, and at the same time, an effective method of dealing with age spots.
What does it give? All possible types of pigmentation (freckles, melasma, chloasma, lentigo, keratoses, age-related, hormonal, solar age spots) become less intense, and soon disappear altogether.
Removal of age spots on the Spectrum device is effective and safe. For each patient, the parameters are selected individually using special replaceable light filters for a specific skin type.
Depending on the skin problem, the light is absorbed by one of the targets or several at once. So, for example, during pigmentation, light energy will be directly absorbed only by those skin cells that have melanin, i.e. pigment spots.
The method of photocoagulation of vessels with the Spectrum apparatus is based on the use of pulsed light of a certain length, as a result of which the dilated vessel is either coagulated or destroyed.
For each vessel size, there is a maximum light pulse duration at which a selective heating process is possible without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Oxygmoglobin is degraded from the spectrum between 400 and 680 nm – from blue, green and yellow IPL light. Blue – does not reach the vascular network, but green and yellow affect the vessels. A beam of light acts on the selected capillary, destroys oxidized hemoglobin, due to which the walls of the vessel stick together, and within 2 weeks its remains are destroyed by immune cells.

Safe, painless, fast removal of unwanted facial and body hair. The latest BTL technology ensures energy distribution to minimize skin damage.
How does this happen? Choromophores (melanin and oxyhemoglobin) are sensitive to high-frequency light waves Ipl. They get hot and break down. As a result, the hair follicle dies, and a new hair will no longer grow from it. The best results are obtained by those with fair skin and dark hair.
What does it give? Significant reduction in unwanted hair growth.
Contraindications for the IPL phototherapy procedure:
Trust your face and body only to professionals, for IPL photorejuvenation, the doctor must be fluent in the technique of the procedure. Specialists of the A.Maks Aesthetics Med Spa have extensive practice and are constantly trained in leading clinics in USA.
It is important for us not only to increase your beauty, but also to maintain your health. To do this, we recommend that you consult a specialist before the IPl procedure.
An experienced doctor will determine the possible risks or individual contraindications.
Specialist consultation
Cleansing of the epidermis. The better the skin is cleansed, the easier it is for light pulses to penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis.
Anesthetic cream. IPL therapy is considered one of the most painless procedures. But for your comfort and peace of mind, we will apply local anesthesia.
Protection. To protect your eyes, we will put on special black goggles.
IPL skin phototherapy. Patient reviews compare IPL skin phototherapy to mild tingling or slight burning.
Processing time: 20-30 minutes. Time may vary depending on individual characteristics or the selected area of selected area of skin.
A number of procedures: 3-6 sessions. The number of sessions can be increased depending on individual characteristics. For example, to remove unwanted light-colored hair, you need more procedures than to remove dark ones.
The rehabilitation period lasts 3-10 days, during this time it is recommended:
Drink more water.
Take antioxidants – ascorbic acid, etc.
Do not smoke.
2 weeks do not sunbathe, do not go to the bath and sauna.
Before walking, apply creams or sprays with SPF 30 or higher.
We know how important it is to be well-informed before any procedure. Therefore, we will honestly tell you what you can see in some cases.
Redness, sensitivity and swelling. This is a normal reaction of the body, which will pass without additional effort during the first day.
Bruising and discoloration of the skin. Quite a rare occurrence. Usually, it is associated with the low professionalism of the doctor and the illiterate setting of the radiation.
Infection. Very rare, but may occur if the doctor does not follow the rules for the procedure. We ask you not to trust specialists without education or who are in dubious institutions!
IPL phototreatment, performed by our competent cosmetologist on a high-class ipl device, does not cause risks and complications after the procedure.
Intense pulsed light is not a laser per se. This is an intense light source. What makes IPL different from a laser is that it fires a broad, high-intensity pulse of light at the skin, rather than a more invasive, finely calibrated laser beam set at a narrower, specific wavelength.
In other words, IPL operates over a wider range of wavelengths, and thus a single machine can handle more than one condition using the specific filters that are required for a particular problem. Therefore, if the clinic or spa has an IPL machine, then various skin conditions can be safely treated, as well as hair removal, while lasers operate in a narrow wavelength range.
The disadvantage of IPL is that while each individual treatment is claimed to be less expensive, safer, and gentler than laser, it is also less intense and results are not as pronounced. Therefore, more sessions may be required to obtain the desired results.
Another consideration that may or may not influence the decision to undergo photorejuvenation is the paucity of studies examining the long-term effects of IPL treatment. Please also note that a number of restrictions must be observed before undergoing the procedure, as well as after the session, in order to maximize results and minimize any potential side effects.
To minimize any potential side effects, a person about to undergo IPL treatment should:
• avoid sun exposure without sunscreen SPF 30 for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment;
• the treatment area must be free from sunburn, sunburn, herpes outbreaks, inflammatory acne, eczema, hypo or hyperpigmentation;
• avoid blood thinners for at least a week before your session;
• stop using any vitamin A acid for at least 60 days, including retinoic acid, glycolic acid, tretinoin (Retin-A) and alpha hydroxy acids;
• stop taking acne medications at least 6 months before;
• if you wear lenses, they will need to be removed before treatment;
• use sunscreen regularly.
