Pulsed light treatment, more commonly called IPL, has made many people happy in recent years and I am one of them.
Having pigment spots and rosacea, I went to Dermapure Beauport in order to test this treatment which promises a peachy complexion.
First of all, know that IPL treatment is effective for all of the skin characteristics below.
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots
- Rosacea/redness
- Irregular texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Acne
IPL technology acts on colored targets and the results are visible from the first session.
For pigment spots, 2 to 3 treatments are considered. As for rosacea, it takes around 4 sessions to see a difference.
My opinion
From my first appointment, my texture became more refined and my skin more luminous, much less red and less stained by the harmful effects of the sun. Pulsed light actually works and immediately gives us a complexion flawless.
My beautician at Dermapure, Éricka, explained to me that with the following treatments, I could also see clear improvements in the firmness of my skin, because IPL treatments stimulate collagen. Fine lines will visibly diminish.
My complexion will become more even and radiant with health.
How it works
Dermapure pulsed light platforms correct complexion imperfections such as pigment spots, in addition to reducing certain vascular disorders such as rosacea and rosacea. All this during the same session.
Pulsed light has the advantage of reaching several depths under the epidermis and can therefore be used for different purposes, depending on the conditions you wish to treat. A filter influences the wavelength by which the light reaches the different layers of skin, in order to deliver the therapeutic effect.
Thus, in photorejuvenation, the pulsed light must reach between 515 and 560 nanometers in depth. Sent by impulses, it seeks color contrasts under the skin in order to eliminate small blood vessels and brown or red spots.
Post-processing
My skin became slightly swollen and red for 48 hours and my spots and redness became more pronounced. Obviously, these post-treatment reactions disappear within a few hours to give way to unified, younger-looking skin.
It takes about an hour for the complete treatment.
Maintenance care
It is a good idea to plan 3 to 5 sessions at least one month apart to obtain optimal results, thus combining the therapeutic effects of pulsed light to benefit from a nice lightening of the complexion.
Subsequently, light annual maintenance ensures that your dream complexion is maintained!
Conclusion
Noticing beautiful changes in my skin, both in terms of the uniformity of complexion, radiance and the disappearance of rosacea and spots, I am already looking forward to my next appointment.
