IPL Laser (Photofacial) Treatment in Mumbai

IPL photo facial treatment offers many benefits such as

• Scarring absent time
• Rapid recovery time
• Minimal discomfort
• Minimal risk
• Many skin problems can be addressed at once by replacing the filter

• The IPL machine consists of various selective ‘filters’ attached inside the handheld probe.
• When the device is powered on the light coming from the probe is ‘filtered’ according to the end use i.e. the treatment which is required.
• In other words if you want pigmentation removal then the light coming from the probe when passing through your skin gets absorbed by the melanin cells.
• These cells when absorbed the light get destroyed due to the light energy converting into heat energy.
• This results in ‘selective photothermolysis’ where only the targeted cells are destroyed and the cells nearby are saved thus not resulting in uncontrolled and widespread injury.

Different wavelengths are used according to the nature of the treatment such as 420nm (kills some acne bacteria), 530nm (hyperpigmentation), 550nm (healing swollen acne lesions), 590nm (stopping activity of overactive oil gland), 750nm (hair removal) which are present as individual filters attached inside the handheld probe

The procedure for performing IPL Photofacial treatment is very much straightforward and simple

• Your cosmetic dermatologist first cleans the area where treatment is needed
• A gel that provides a cooling effect is applied to your skin
• Protective dark-colored glasses are given to shield your eyes
• The smooth glass surface of the probe is kept against the gel, the gel acts as a medium which allows the probe to be placed smoothly on your skin.
• The treatment lasts for approximately 30 minutes

IPL also when penetrates deeper into the skin layers cause increase in the synthesis of collagen thus making your skin firmer and also constricts your blood vessels. Your skin thus becomes softer and smooth as a result you look younger.
