Uses intense Pulse Light with Radiofrequency (IPL with RF) is a light source treatment for skin rejuvenation. It targets uneven skin tones, pigment irregularities, spider veins, redness, age spots, freckles and rough appearance of the skin. Expectations are lightening of the skin tone, reducing the aged look from sun damage and clearing of red pigmentation issues. Fading of freckles, age spots, spider veins and generalized redness associated with rosacea. There is also some improvement in skin texture. IPL with RF is approached in a 5 treatment series. Maintenance treatments are advised and available for patients completing their series. Using ELOS (electrical optical synergy) technology, the machine's applicator emits a filtered spectrum of light targeted at skin color. The pigment absorbs this energy and transforms it to heat. Lightening of the pigment usually occurs after 2-3 weeks after treatment. The RF component works on the skin texture as this energy is absorbed in the dermis and stimulates collagen production. The LaserFacial™ is a treatment for the face using a Yag laser in a "paintbrush" fashion to address photo aging. Over long periods of time, sun exposure can lead to changes in the facial skin of dilated capillaries, pigment irregularities and a rough texture to the skin. The 1064-wavelength laser is attracted to the red color of blood and produces a heat reaction causing a decrease in caliber of the vessels and shrinking of the oil glands openings into the skin. This will improve the texture and color of the skin to a more youthful appearance. The treatment is done at Skin Spa by an aesthetician and requires no preparation or aftercare. Most patients are pink for several hours and can apply make-up as soon as the treatment is finished. A series of treatments is recommended to get the most benefit.
