REMOVAL OF PIGMENTATION

REMOVAL OF PIGMENTATION ON THE FACE METHOD OF PHOTOTHERAPY (IPL)

Not so long ago, removal of pigmentation on the face is based on methods,efficiency, safety and painless which was imperfect. We're not talking about household methods of bleaching facial and treatment age spots – many salon services and even therapeutic techniques used in beauty clinics, has led to the fact that after a series of procedures pigmentation disappeared only partially.

A disadvantage of some methods were also scars remaining on the skin or completely depigmented, whitish areas as, for example, after the chemical polishing and cryosurgery.

Modern technology remove age spots almost devoid of these shortcomings, due to the drastic difference in principle of operation from the previously used skin bleaching techniques.

One of the most popular ways of dealing with pigmentation on the face – light therapy or IPL. The popularity of this technology is due to a painless and effective procedure, no complicated preparatory period, contraindications and side effects.

The principle of action of IPL in the removal of pigment spots

Phototherapy is a method of selective exposure of the skin to high-intensity light pulses. Removal of pigmentation on the face is produced by rays in the infrared part of the light spectrum located in a range 515-1200 nm. High intensity Pulse Light (IPL) only affects the chromophores. This special substances that are part of biological tissues and have the ability to absorb light. Reacting to the IPL, the chromophores are heated and die.

For skin tissues this substance is melanin. The degree of absorption of the light depends on the wavelengths. Thus, choosing the light pulse of the desired length, you can heat up the tissue to the desired temperature, "evaporating" melanin completely. While no effect on cells with normal content of chromophore is not happening, due to which tissues remain intact.

The advantage of phototherapy regarding previously used methods is the ability to choose the depth of penetration of light in skin tissue, adjust the intensity of the light flux, to vary the number of pulses in a single flash of light flash, to change the duration of one pulse and the intervals between them.

Unnecessary removal of pigmentation wavelengths when the machine is cut off optical filters. Because of this medical process is optimized and allows you to more effectively solve tasks.

Treatments advanced IPL systems non-invasive and completely safe.

PROCEDURE REMOVE PIGMENTATION IPL METHOD

Removal of pigmentation on the face method, light exposure is performed on the principle of the point of the destruction of skin cells with higher melanin content. The doctor gently presses the tip of the device to the skin of the patient and by successive light flashes with a certain number of impulses of specified wave point processes the tissue of the skin.

During the light flashes and a feeling of warmth, the skin begins to lightly pinch. But it's not dangerous – skin tissues under the influence of vysokointensivnykh light pulses absolutely are not damaged neither thermally nor mechanically. That is, to fear the appearance of burns or wounds on the skin no reason.

Minor, superficial pigmentation is removed almost completely in one session of phototherapy. Immediately after the procedure the pigmentation spots darker, but soon the old skin flakes off and stains without a trace remains.

Deep-seated pigmented areas are treated several times. The average phototherapy consists of 2-6 sessions held with an interval of 10-14 days. Pigmentation disappears gradually with each subsequent procedure, the skin becomes brighter. In the end, its color is completely cleared.

In few or rare cases, Immediately after the procedure, the observed skin erythema (redness) and reactive swelling, but after a couple hours it goes away. Slight peeling of the skin disappears in a few days. Pigmentation on face after skin treatment IPL method disappears completely in a week.
