The technician will use the hand peace with the pulses of light, you may feel a slight stinging or warm sensation. Some people liken the feeling to being snapped with a rubber band and this sensation is usually very tolerable. Depending on which part of your body is being treated and how large the area is, the treatment should take 20 to 30 minutes. To get the results you want, you may need to have 3-6 treatments.

IPL can fix existing skin imperfections but cannot prevent their return. Patients who are prone to vascular disorders and hyperpigmentation will require touch up treatments every 1-4 years. Also, we recommend, using the professional skin care products after the treatment. It is important to use sunscreen with high protection, dietary and healthy lifestyle for long lasting results.What is an IPL PhotoRejuvenation?
An IPL Rejuvenation is a non-invasive, non-ablative treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of visible light to improve such skin conditions as fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, age spots, rosacea, port-wine stains, and facial veins. It also helps treat mild to moderate acne and stretch marks, and it spurs collagen production.What are the indications?
- Hyperpigmentation (sun spots, age spots, freckles)/ Lentigines, Melasma
- Keratosis
- Vascular Lesions (Rosacea, Telangiectasia/cherry, strawberry, spider hemangioma)
- Venous Lake
- Spider Veins (face/body)
- Mild to moderate inflammatory acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage/age spots on hands and arms
- Permanent Hair Reduction
- Stretch Marks etc.
The difference between IPL and Laser treatment.
IPL is similar to a laser treatment. However, a laser focuses just one wavelength of light at your skin, while IPL releases light of many different wavelengths, like a photo flash. The light from IPL is more scattered and less focused than a laser. IPL penetrates down to the second layer of your skin (dermis) without harming the top layer (epidermis), so it causes less damage to your skin.- More than one treatment may be required for optimal results

ResurFX
The Lumenis® M22™ ResurFX™ non-ablative laser tightens skin and treats skin damage. Unlike ablative lasers, which remove the top layer of skin and part of the sublayer, nonablative lasers keep the outer layer of skin intact, which promotes faster healing. ResurFX™ laser treatment uses CoolScan™ technology, which ensures that laser-energy delivery is precise and consistent. The ResurFX™ laser is a good option for patients who prefer a noninvasive treatment that has little downtime and creates minimal discomfort.After ResurFX™ laser treatment, the body’s natural healing process replaces damaged tissue with new, healthy tissue, resulting in smoother and healthier-looking skin. In addition to keeping skin intact, the ResurFX™ laser stimulates collagen growth, tightening underlying skin.
What to expect during the procedure?
Prior to treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to the skin. Due to the non-ablative nature of the laser, however, most patients experience minimal discomfort. The ResurFX™ laser handpiece is run over the treatment area, while the temperature-monitoring CoolScan system protects the skin. Treatments take, on average, 15-30 minutes. During the session, patients feel a slight tingling or burning sensation, in general, the procedure is comfortable.What can I expect after procedure?
After treatment, your skin will have mild transient erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) that can last up to 3-4 days. Discomfort is generally mild, similar to sunburn and easily relieved with immediate post cooling and application of a soothing gel/cream. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after ResurFX™ treatments.How long do results from procedure lasts?
After completing the course of procedure, the effect lasts up to 2 years and more. The course of procedure is selected individually depending on the area will be treated.What are the indications?

PhotoFractional Lumenis®
Looking for a Quick Rejuvenation without long-term rehabilitation?
This rejuvenation technology includes two solutions, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and ResurFX™ non-ablative skin resurfacing, so that both skin tone and texture can be treated at the same session.
The main advantage of the new PhotoFractional technique is the ability to solve a wide range of problems in one session and with one device. The IPL module works to remove epidermal pigmentation and correct vascular dyschromia (primarily rosacea and telangiectasias). The non-ablative fractional laser 1565 nm ResurFX™ provides remodeling of the dermal matrix – correction of wrinkles, scars and skin tightening. The IPL and ResurFX™ modules are able to provide maximum results in the correction of aesthetic problems in any patient in the cabinet of hardware cosmetology. In addition, the PhotoFractional technique is non-invasive and does not require long-term rehabilitation after it: patients can lead a normal lifestyle immediately after the procedure.
Moderate hyperemia, which develops during the procedure, usually lasts for 2-3 days.
