ACNE TREATMENT IPL FACIAL
Acne is caused by the skins pores becoming enlarged and allowing bacteria to enter the pores and obstruct the sebaceous glands.
The bacteria then multiplies deep in the follicle resulting in unsightly, inflamed raised lumps, which sometimes are filled with bacteria and pustules - which are often sore, red and raised.
IPL combined with radio frequency can help to kill off bacteria on the skin whilst restricting oil production and eliminating acne spots.
IPL will also stimulate collagen production preventing further scar formation leading to a smoother, clearer, more even skin tone.
During consultation a patch test is carried out so that the correct frequency for the individual is determined and test for negative reactions.
Once it has been determined that there are no negative reactions treatment can be commenced 24 hours after the consultation .
The area to be treated is thoroughly cleansed to remove all traces of make-up , oils and dirt.
A cleansing masque is then applied and left for 7-10 mins before being removed using a sterilised warm damp sponge .
A thick layer of ultrasound gel is applied to the area to be treated which will help to cool down the skins surface and aid in the smooth movement of the applicator head.
The applicator is pulsed at regular 2 second intervals over the area.
It can feel like a flicking sensation and the light is very bright therefore the client’s and operator’s eyes are covered with protective eyewear.
Once the area has been covered the gel is removed and a light moisturiser applied to the area.
The client is advised to drink plenty of water to help to flush out any toxins.
The skin immediately after treatment may appear slightly red though this will subside within a few hours.
The treatment will result in the skin purging all of the impurities contained within in 3-4 days.
It is not advisable for the client to wear make up immediately after treatment for the following 24 hours as a minimum.
For the best results for a clearer and smoother complexion, a course of treatments spaced at one every 2-3 weeks is required.
