Among many medical beauty projects, IPL -Intensive Pulsed Light () has high safety, wide application range, and no need to shut down.(commonly known as lunch beauty), and has become a popular choice for entry-level and long-term maintenance, and is often praised as an all-round player. But what can it do? What is the effect? Come and learn more today.
1. The principle of photon skin rejuvenation: selective photothermal effect
The core weapon of photonic skin rejuvenation is Strong pulsed light . It is not a single wavelength laser, but a composite light of A wide spectrum (usually 500-1200nm). The instrument filter can screen out light in specific bands and use the absorption characteristics of different target color bases in the skin (such as melanin, hemoglobin, water) to achieve selective photothermal effects.
-
Melanin: absorbs light energy, bursts and decomposes, and is discharged with metabolism, thereby diluting spots (freckles, sunspots, partial melasma), brightening skin tone, and improving dullness.
-
Hemoglobin: nbsp; Absorbing light energy, it solidifies and seals abnormally dilated capillaries, thereby improving facial flushing, red blood (telangiectasia), and red acne marks.
-
Stimulate collagen: & nbsp; The photothermal effect can also gently stimulate the regeneration and reorganization of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermal layer, thereby improving skin texture, refining pores, increasing skin elasticity, and achieving overall skin rejuvenation effect.
2. What problems can photon rejuvenation solve?
The all-power of photon rejuvenation is mainly reflected in its pleiotropic nature. One treatment can simultaneously improve multiple skin problems:
-
Remove pigment: desalinate superficial spots, freckles, and sunburn, equalize skin tone, and improve pigmentation.
-
Remove redness: & nbsp; Improve facial flushing (rosace-related), red blood stains, and red acne marks.
-
Skin rejuvenation: & nbsp; Improve rough skin, refine pores, and increase skin luster and elasticity.
-
Control oil and improve skin quality: & nbsp; It has a certain auxiliary improvement effect on mild to moderate acne.
-
Hair removal: & nbsp; Certain filters can be used for hair removal (but not as effective as professional hair removal lasers).
3. Treatment process and feeling
-
Face-to-face communication: The doctor evaluates the skin condition, problem type, expected effect, and formulates a personalized parameter plan.
-
Cleaning and gel application: nbsp; After cleaning the face, apply a special cold gel to the treatment area (for cooling protection and light guide).
-
Wear eye mask: & nbsp; Protect your eyes from strong light.
-
Start treatment: & nbsp; The doctor presses the treatment head vertically and gently against the skin to release pulsed light. During treatment, there will be a slight tingling or warm feeling similar to a rubber band bouncing against the skin, which most people can tolerate.
-
Cooling relief: & nbsp; After treatment, the nurse will immediately apply cold compress or cold spray to relieve the discomfort.
-
Post-operative care: nbsp; Apply medical repair mask, apply repair products, and explain in detail the postoperative precautions. The entire process usually takes 30-60 minutes.
4. Key points: Course design and effect
-
Treatment according to course: Photonic skin rejuvenation is usually requires multiple treatments to achieve the ideal results . Because it takes time to improve skin problems and regenerate collagen. A basic course of treatment is usually 3 -6 times with an interval of 3 -4 weeks .
-
Cumulative effect: & nbsp; The effect is gradually cumulative. There may be a feeling of brightening skin after the first treatment, and subsequent treatment will improve color spots and red blood stains more significantly. The skin rejuvenation effect usually continues to be reflected in the later stage and after the treatment.
-
Maintenance treatment: & nbsp; After completing the basic course of treatment, it is recommended to conduct maintenance treatment every 3-6 months to consolidate the effect and serve as long-term skin maintenance based on the individual’s skin condition and aging speed.
5. Post-operative care is crucial
Although photorejuvenation is safe, post-operative care directly affects the effect and recovery:
-
Strict sun protection! Sunburn! Sunburn!Post-operative care skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, so be sure to use high-factor (SPF50 + PA+++) sunscreen and combine it with physical sunscreen (hat, mask, sunglasses). This is the key to preventing anti-melanin (pigmentation)!
-
Enhance moisturizing: & nbsp; Skin may be temporarily dry after treatment, so mild moisturizing and repair products are needed.
-
Gentle cleaning:& nbsp; Avoid using irritating cleansing products for a few days after surgery, and the water temperature should not be too high.
-
Avoid irritation: & nbsp; Avoid using skin care products containing irritating ingredients such as fruit acid, salicylic acid, and retinool for a week. Avoid exfoliating, sauna, and strenuous exercise.
-
do not pick up scabs: & nbsp; Some spots may have microscabs after treatment, allowing them to fall off naturally.
Summary:Photonic rejuvenation is a safe, effective and broad-spectrum solution and maintenance method to skin problems. Only by selecting a formal institution and experienced doctor to operate, clarifying your own skin problems and treatment expectations, insisting on treating according to the course of treatment, and strictly abiding by postoperative care (especially sun protection) can the all-round effect be maximized and the skin be clear, even and bright.
