Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
The fully trained laser technicians at Jade Cosmetic and Wellness Clinic use the
Alma Harmony AFT Pulsed Light to successfully treat;
- sun damage
- redness
- pigmentation
- acne
- facial capillaries
- skin rejuvenation
- permanent hair reduction
The treatment is non-invasive and the unique technology is based on stimulating skin rejuvenation and hair removal without damaging the skin.
The Jade Cosmetic Clinic’s priority is for safe and realistic outcomes. On the first consultation at the clinic your skin type is assessed and detailed information is discussed.
A test patch will be performed on the area to ensure the safest and best treatment settings, the recommended number of treatments to get optimum results will also be advised. Sun protection is imperative.
What is IPL Treatment?
The Harmony works by emitting a short burst of light, or “Intense Pulsed Light” that is selectively absorbed by the target in the skin or hair. With skin rejuvenation the target is either pigment,
redness or bacteria on the skin. Collagen production is stimulated, restoring the skin to a more youthful appearance. With permanent hair reduction the target is the pigment in the hair.
FAST AND VERSATILE SKIN REJUVENATION
Stimulate healthy collagen production and refine skin tone
Anyone who wants to rejuvenate their skin by improving the signs of sun and environmental damage and ageing, such as brown spots,
capillary damage, redness, uneven or rough skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, would find the Harmony IPL technology effective.
The targeted areas precisely absorb pulsed light energy without damaging healthy skin.
Pigmented lesions - the light energy heats the melanin in the lesion and causes it to fragment. The melanin fragments are then absorbed by the body or form a light “scab” and then fall off.
Vascular irregularities (e.g. fine veins, broken capillaries or generalised redness)- the pulsed light energy will selectively heat and close off small blood vessels, reducing the red lesion while sparing nearby tissue from injury.
Skin rejuvenation can also be performed on other parts of the body including the neck, chest, back and hands.
Treatments are best scheduled at 4 weekly intervals.
ACNE TREATMENT.
Clear inflammatory acne lesions comfortably without undesirable side effects
The “Intense Blue Light Therapy” is the most effective way of treating active acne on the skin.
This IPL modality targets the bacteria (porphyrins) on the skin which are produced as part of normal acne metabolism. The Intense Blue Light rapidly destroys the bacteria without damaging the surrounding tissue. The treatment is painless with no adverse effects or downtime.
Treatments can be performed twice a week for a month for best results.
THE ULTIMATE CONVENIENCE IN PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION.
Messy, painful and ineffective hair removal methods are now a thing of the past.
The Harmony AFT Pulsed Light treats unwanted hair with quick bursts of light with no down-time. It effectively removes hairs without causing irritation and minimises the chances or scarring and pigmentation changes. This non-invasive and effective approach yields permanent hair reduction anywhere on the body.
During photo-epilation, the pigment (melanin) within the hair absorbs the light and converts it into heat. The hair transmits this heat into the hair follicle, which it destroys without damaging surrounding tissue. Thus the follicle cannot produce a new hair.
The result is a quick, safe and effective hair removal that lasts. Due to the growth cycle of a hair follicle a number of treatments are required depending on the area to be treated , the colour and thickness of the hair as well as the skin type. Treatments are best scheduled at 4 – 6 weekly intervals for best results.
