Refresh your skin
IPL- Intense Pulse Light PhotoFacial
The IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology allows personalized treatment of pigmentation and vascular imperfections, while improving overall skin appearance. Light pulses penetrate the tissue and create heat, targeting the skin imperfection in a controlled manner. The body’s natural process then removes the treated tissue, while collagen and elastic fiber stimulation occurs, resulting in a visible improvement in skin tone, pigmentation, age/sun spots, broken capillaries and overall skin appearance.
A gentle treatment with no downtime that removes skin imperfections and stimulates collagen and elastic fiber production.
