IPL
We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with frustrating imperfections, especially as we age and sun damage accumulates.
The Palomar rejuvenation process offers comfortable and effective photofacials for the treatment of sun damage and visible veins.
Palomar photo rejuvenation can help to treat:
- Sun damage: Wide areas of pigmentation on the face, chest and arms.
- Sunspots: Pigmented lesions, also known as age spots.
- Rosacea: Red, inflamed areas on the cheeks and face.
- Spider veins: Small vessels on the face that can be red, blue, or purple.
- Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Palomar rejuvenation process is skin-safe, comfortable and effective without any downtime. Appointments are quick, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
The Palomar system use special handpieces that filter light from different parts of the spectrum. Each band of the spectrum has a wavelength that is ideal for different treatments, such as sunspot removal and vessel clearance.
The Palomar handpiece emits pulses of light into the skin. The light is absorbed by the pigment in sunspots, and in the blood in visible vessels, and converted to heat. The heat dissolves the cells that create pigment, and shrinks blood vessels.
IPL systems and lasers are very similar, but Palomar IPL uses a much larger lens than lasers. This spreads light over a wider area of skin, and allows faster coverage of the skin with quicker treatments as a result.
