Photo ageing: During the course of our lives our skin is subject to photo ageing, which is caused by exposure to the sun. The aging of the skin becomes visible through different benign changes in the skin tissue. Such changes rarely occur singly, but rather in different combination: changes in pigmentation, enlargement of the skin pores, flabby skin, wrinkles and skin folds, enlargement of small veins, sun spots, age spots etc.. The IPL laser also treats other skin imperfections such as birth marks or unwanted hair.

IPL: Internsive Pulsed Light - also called Cool Touch Laser treatment: In contrast to specific focused laser treatments, the IPL procedure is based on the simultaneous effect of different light wave lengths, within the range of 500 to 1200 Nm, which are brought into the skin layers. The different light lengths have different effects on different impurities in the skin layers. At the same time the IPL stimulates the natural skin production of collagen. Thus, on one hand, within the same procedure it is possible to obtain the treatment of different skin problems, and, on the other hand, also to obtain the effect of skin rejuvenation. In the course of  1-5 treatments [ the number depend on the intensity of the single treatments. The treatment can be repeated after two weeks ] the collagen producing layer of the skin is increasingly stimulated. A higher concentration of natural collagen in the skin represents the most important factor for a more youthful, firm skin. After the stimulating effect of the IPL treatment, in the course of the coming months the facial skin is revitalized at a deep level. The final rejuvenating effect of the IPL treatment becomes visible 4-6 months after the treatment. The skin receives a smooth fresh color and is more flexible. The skin texture improves, and the pores and fine wrinkles refine or disappear completely. However, the IPL is not indicated for the treatment of deep folds.

The procedure: First, it is important to speak to a specialized doctor in laser dermatology, in order to be examined and advised by a qualified dermatologist. The dermatologist analyzes the condition of the individual’s skin structure, the degree of skin aging, and any existing skin irregularities. The dermatologist will take in consideration the findings, your age and the desired result, and will then recommend the most suitable method for you. If you decide to undergo the treatment, it can usually be done on the same day. During the IPL treatment the eyes are protected with dark sunglasses. Before the treatment a smooth gel is applied on the skin, which allows the laser hand piece to glide smoothly over the skin surface. A complete facial treatment lasts about 30 minutes and is painless. The IPL treatment can be applied on all areas of the face, neck, and decolleté, as well as on the back of the hands. Generally, the IPL treatment is performed as day surgery, without any hospital stay.

Why several treatments are necessary? The IPL procedure is a particularly gentle and careful form of dermatological treatment. Final results are determined from the sum of the individual treatments. After each treatment you can leave the hospital immediately. Thanks to the non-invasive procedure you are, regardless of your age, immediately ready to return to your social life and to your regular activities. The number of recommended treatments depends on the individual wishes and requirements. According to our in-house experience already with one single session can be achieved astonishing improvements with skin refinement and permanent correction of impurities. With repeated sessions can be achieved dramatic skin rejuvenation results leading to a youthful look. The risk of complications with the IPL treatment is extremely low.
