Photo rejuvenation Revealed: How It Works and How It Really Feels Experience
How It Works
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photorejuvenation is based on the principle of applying a broad spectrum of light waves (different wavelengths of light) to the skin, using the selective absorption of light to achieve the effect of improving skin conditions. Here's how it works:
1.Selective photothermal action: The light waves emitted by IPL devices are selectively absorbed by different tissues in the skin (such as melanin, hemoglobin, collagen, etc.). For different skin problems, such as pigmentation, redness, aging, etc., the different wavelengths of IPL light can precisely act on the target area.
2.Decomposition of pigmentation: IPL's light waves can be absorbed by the melanin in the skin, which breaks down the melanin into fine particles through the photothermal effect, which is finally metabolized and excreted by the body, thereby reducing problems such as pigmentation, freckles and sun spots.
3.Promote collagen production: IPL photorejuvenation light waves can also penetrate the surface of the skin and act on the collagen fibers in the dermis to stimulate their proliferation and reorganization, thereby improving skin elasticity, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and achieving the effect of tightening and improving skin texture.
4.Improve blood circulation and anti-inflammatory effect: IPL can also promote skin microcirculation, accelerate blood flow, enhance the skin's nutrient supply, and also has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, helping to alleviate inflammation caused by redness, acne, etc.
How It Feels
When IPL photorejuvenation is done, the sensation on the face is usually a slight warmth and a brief tingling sensation, but it is not particularly painful overall. Specifically, the feelings in the process vary from person to person, and there may be several feelings:
1.Warmth: IPL devices emit intense pulsed light on the skin, and a certain amount of heat is felt on the surface of the skin, similar to the warmth of sunlight hitting the skin. Some people may feel a little warm on their skin, but generally do not feel uncomfortable.
2.Slight tingling or patting: During photorejuvenation, each time a pulse of light is applied to the skin, it may feel like a slight pinprick or patting. This sensation is usually short-lived and doesn't last long.
3.Slightly sensitive skin: After the treatment, the skin may feel slightly sensitive, especially if the treatment is for problems such as pigmentation or redness. This redness usually goes away on its own within a few hours.
4.Slight persistent sensation of heat: Some people may experience a slight and persistent sensation of heat on their skin for a few hours after treatment, similar to skin after a sun, but this sensation usually subsides gradually.
