  The best guide to the summer beauty routine for the Skin Hair & Body The last few years have shown how much we invest in our beauty: our face beauty routine is in fact becoming more and more professional, with additional steps, innovative and increasingly advanced ingredients and, for most of us, it has become an essential ritual! But, despite the ever-growing interest in beauty, we do not always dedicate the time necessary to our body care - especially in summer - to ensure that we have toned, radiant, smooth and healthy skin on the body.

Sun Damaged treatment

 Sun Damaged treatment



IPL resurfaces photo-damaged skin through the gradual removal of the sun-damaged layers, allowing new healthy skin to grow in its place. The treatment uses a device which emits a range of lightwaves that are tuned and targeted to reduce melanin pigment present in age spots. Good results can be achieved over 3 to 5 treatments, carried out at regular fortnightly or three-week intervals. IPL poses minimal risk and little discomfort.
A cooling gel is administered to the skin prior to the procedure and the patient is given safety goggles to wear. A handpiece with a smooth glass surface is applied to the area, with the IPL device emitting rapid pulses of light. Some patients experience a tiny “zing” like a rubber band flicking against the skin with each flash.
High-powered IPL treatments offer the most effective results, but can be dangerous if not operated correctly. Therefore, be cautious of IPL offered by beauty salons as opposed to physician’s offices or clinics.
Advantages:
  • The skin will have a smoother and more even tone.
  • Age spots decrease in darkness with each treatment.
  • Results can be maintained with good skin care and protection from the sun.
  • IPL can be used on most parts of the boydy.
  • The treatment stimulates collagen production which subsequently improves the skin’s texture.
Disadvantages:
  • Although some improvement should be noticeable with each treatment, results will take the full series of treatments over 3-5 months to become apparent.
  • Severe or dark age spots may require further sessions.
  • Treatments can be time consuming, taking 30-90 minutes per session, depending on the size of the treatment area.
  • Crusting of sunspots can occur, which may last up to 10 days.

Ideal candidates:
  • Are not pregnant.
  • Are seeking sun spot treatment with no downtime.
  • Do not have a history of complicated scarring.
  • Do not have a history of hyper pigmentation.
  • Are not diabetic.
