IPL Permanent Hair Removal and Skin Photorejuvenation

0 Comments

What is IPL?
Intense pulsed light, commonly abbreviated as IPL, is a technology used by cosmetic and medical practitioners to perform various skin treatments for aesthetic and therapeutic uses including:

  • Permanent hair removal
  • Lightening and removing "sun spots", "age spots",  and brown blotches on the face, neck, chest, hands and other areas of the body
  • Lightening and reducing redness, rosacea, dilated blood vessels and "broken" blood vessels on the face, neck and chest
  • Helping to control flushing
  • It also improves the skins texture through collagen stimulation

IPL when done properly, almost always consists of a series of 3-5 treatments, usually one every three to six weeks. The benefits of IPL treatments are achieved with little discomfort and minimal risk.

IPL for Hair Removal

IPL can successfully remove unwanted hair from almost any part of the body, in both women and men. The most popular zones for ladies include underarms, bikini (including full Brazilian), legs, arms and face (chin, lip, cheeks, eyebrows) as well as ‘the garden path’,the areola and the area between the breasts. For men the most popular zones include beard, back, shoulders, chest, neck, ears and arms followed by cheeks, buttocks, tummy and legs.

How does the IPL hair removal work?

The idea behind permanent hair removal using IPL is to destroy the individual hair follicles. Controlled pulses of light are absorbed by the pigment in the hair, and the heat is then transferred to the hair follicle, which is destroyed. Because the treatment is only effective in specific stages of the hair growth process, you’ll need a series of visits at set intervals to ensure you get the maximum result.

How does the laser treatment improve the appearance of blood vessels, rosacea, and age spots/freckles?

The laser/IPL device emits a range of lightwaves that are then tuned and targeted at hemoglobin (the red blood cells in the blood vessels) or melanin (the brown pigment in freckles and age spots). The light beam passes through the skin and is absorbed by either hemoglobin or melanin resulting in damage to the vessel wall or fragmenting of melanin pigment. These tiny vessels and the melanin pigment are then absorbed by the body, rendering them less visible.

How does an IPL treatment increase collagen?

The light bypasses the outer layer of skin (the epidermis) and gently heats the cells in the deeper layer of skin (dermis). These cells, called fibroblasts, start to produce more collagen, which improves texture and fine wrinkles.

What can I expect of a hair removal treatment?

The actively growing hairs that were treated will slowly begin to fall out, between 1 to 3 weeks after each session (shedding) and you will have a hair free period. Any dormant hairs in the treatment area, will start to grow, but at a slower rate and the hairs will be much finer and easy to remove at subsequent sessions. As your treatment course progresses your hair free period will get longer and longer, until all or most of the follicles in the area are destroyed and you’re left with only hair free skin.

Who should not get these treatments?


Avoid laser treatments in pregnancy 
Anyone taking medication with photo sensitivity as a side effect
Anyone undergoing Chemo Therapy 

Are there any side effects?

The main side effects are mild, temporary swelling, redness, an accentuation of the brown spots, crusting, and an occasional bruise or small superficial blister (like a sunburn blister).

Environ Cool Peel Special Offer

2015 Special:
  • Book your first Cool Peel Treatment in June 2015.
  • Pay R450 per treatment and receive a luxurious Alginated Moisture Mask to the value of R60 every time, at no extra cost.
  • Complete 5 treatments by August 2015 and receive your 6th and final peel absolutely free. 


What is the Environ Cool Peel?
Environ peels are based on physiology of skin; it should be protected and treated very well. If the skin is aggressively peeled this disrupts the skins natural barrier and water will easily be lost. This would enable environmental toxins to enter the skin more easily. The Environ peel removes the excess horny layer of the skin and maintains the water-proofing barrier qualities of the skin. Environ Peels are ideal for hydrating and refining. These Peels will repair and encourage exfoliation, revealing fresh and youthful skin. 

How does the Environ Cool Peel Work?
Environ have a variety of peeling systems, using acidic creams and gels instead of using acid solutions. These peels preserve as much epidermis as possible while at the same time, getting the safest effective concentration of hydronium ions into the dermis. These peels are designed to preserve the architecture of the skin simultaneously stimulating the fibroblasts in the dermis to increase the quantity of collagen in the dermis.

For which skin issues is Environ’s Cool Peel Effective? 
Each client is treated according to his/her specific needs.
• Relieves problematic skin conditions (including acne-prone skin)
• Promotes collagen formation
• Improves the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Skin prone to redness
• Helps refine the texture of sun damaged skin

Who is the Peel client?
Ideal for both men and women. If your skin has a rough uneven texture, wrinkles and fine lines, solar keratosis (age spots), rosacea, uneven skin tone, and problematic skin issues (acne). The Cool Peel can also be used on the body.

How many Peels are needed?                 
A course of 6-8 treatments may be recommended. Preferably one week apart.

Time?
Environ peels on the face are approximately 60-90 minutes. However, this will vary if it’s combined with another treatment. 

How long after an Environ Cool Peel may I return to normal activities?
Make-up can be applied immediately. You may experience mild redness following your peel. One to three days following your procedure, you may notice mild to moderate peeling of the skin.

Advantages of the Environ Peel:
• Safe
• Versatile system
• Can be customised 
• No downtime
• Cool and painless

How is Environ Cool Peel Different?
Environ is different from other peels, because Environ pioneered the production of acidic creams and gels instead of using acid solutions. Strong acid solutions are usually colourless; one might end up doing a deeper peel than intended. When a strong acid is applied to the skin it burns a great deal. The cool peels are cool, no burning sensation.
