What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment?

What is IPL and how does it works ?

 


IPL is intense pulse light. A broad spectrum of light is transmitted through a smooth and transparent lamp which is gently placed over the skin. Filters in the hand piece change the wavelength range allowing it to be optimized for different applications and skin types. The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by targeted tissue and damage the targeted tissue. The light can also activates fibroblast to produce new collagen and elastic fibers, consequently smoothes skin and returns elasticity.

For hair removal: The light penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by the melanin in hair follicle, producing photothermal effect, conducting the energy from hair section to hair root, rising the temperature of follicle rapidly. The hair follicle is coagulated finally and the effect of hair reduction is reached.

For skin rejuvenation: Especial spectrum activates fibroblast to produce new collagen and elastic fibers, smoothing skin and returning elasticity to skin.

For acne treatment: The propionibacterium acnes (PAC) which causes the inflammatory reaction of skin, is a kind of anaerobic bacteria. Porphyrin consists in blood, which produces haemachrome after combing with Fe . It is a kind of photosensitive object . The special spectrum of PTF penetrates skin and absorbed by porphyrin, stimulates porphyrin to release monomorphism oxyanion which kills propionibacterium acnes effectively.

For sunburned pigmentation treatment: Pigment within focus group is denser than normal skin group's, so problem skin's heat energy after absorbing light energy is higher than normal skin's. especial spectrum selectively acts on focus group, lightening and eliminating pigment group while avoiding to cause harms to skin.

For superficial vascular treatment: Especial spectrum penetrates skin, and is absorbed by capillary vessels in tissues, which coagulates capillary vessels, decompose broken capillary.

 



PTF VS traditional IPL

1. The patented PTF technology, which is upgraded from IPL, supports more effective and safer skin treatments. Because their mode of light pulse is very different, sPTF&PTF have a long pulse width and output energy is accurate, while traditional IPL has sharp pulse and high energy which might burn skin.

2. Ultimate results are attained with optimum energy and long heat duration on skin.



Intensed Pulsed Light

 

What is Intense Pulsed Light?

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a technology aimed at producing light of high intensity during a very short period of 
time. It involves specific lamps together with capacitors whose rapid discharge provides the high energy required.

Special filters with different wavelengths are used to allow the various light intensities to target specific zones 
within the skin. At Clariancy Aesthetic Clinic, we are using Photochrom which is a 3rd generation IPL. The handpieces 
have contact cooling, making treatments effective and painless.

What does IPL do?

 Permanent hair reduction.

 Acne clearance. Pore reduction.

 Skin rejuvenation/Photo Facial. Skin looks brighter and more radiant.

 Removal of vascular lesions. (Telangiactasia, Rosacea, Spider Veins)

 Removal of pigmented lesions.

Are IPL treatments for everyone?

IPL treatments are most effective in light skinned individuals. Dark skinned or recently tanned individuals are not 
suitable due to the increased risk of side effects. A consultation with our doctor will help to determine your skin 
type. If necessary, our doctor may either prescribe you with a lightening cream prior to IPL treatments or discuss 
with you other suitable alternatives.

Are there any precautions you should take prior to IPL treatments?

Yes. Please refrain from tanning at least 4 weeks prior to IPL treatments.

How is the treatment done?

 The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove excess oils and impurities.

 For hair removal, hair is trimmed above the surface of the skin.

 A clear cold gel is applied to the treated areas to enhance light transmission.

 Protective goggles will be provided to prevent eye injuries.

 Pulses of light are delivered over the treatment areas.

What happens after IPL treatments?

 After IPL treatments, the skin is particularly sensitive. Our doctor will prescribe you with a post IPL cream to 
promote skin recuperation and sunblocks to prevent harmful UV rays.

 You should avoid using exfoliating scrubs on the treated area for the first week.

 Pigmented areas may become darker 3 days after treatment. This is a usual phenomenon and they may persist
 for 7-10 days before fading eventually. Make up can be applied to conceal these areas.

What is the downtime after IPL treatments?

There is no downtime. You can return to work immediately.

How many treatment sessions are required?

 Permanent hair reduction can usually be achieved within 4-6 sessions placed at monthly intervals.

 In certain individuals, hair may start to regrow after some time. It is usually less dense and lighter than previous. 
These individuals may require a yearly maintenance IPL treatment.

 For skin rejuvenation, IPL treatments can be performed on a monthly intervals.

 The amount of treatment sessions vary for acne clearance and removal of vascular and pigmented lesions. Our 
doctor will tailor a regime suitable for you.

What are the potential complications of IPL treatments?

 Most often, there are no complications with IPL treatments.

 Some may experience mild redness and swelling of the skin which will subside spontaneously in a few hours.

 Very rarely, IPL treatments may cause scarring, burning or areas of darkening or even lightening. In the event 
should this happen, it can be treated with exceptional results.
