Chateau Ridge Salon & Spa offers Skin Rejuvenation and Photo-facial treatments with an IPL machine. If you're looking for even, youthful looking skin, this might just be the treatment for you!
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Photo-facial treatments are performed using a handheld device that delivers a broad spectrum of light used to target pigment issues such as brown spots, sun damage, redness & rosacea.
IPL Photo-facial treatments are typically conducted in a series of treatments at 3-5 week intervals. People often do a series of 4-6 treatments, the exact number of sessions required varies person to person. The skin begins to take on a more youthful and clear appearance after the first few sessions.
The IPL is a popular choice for skin rejuvenation. Not only is it indicated for collagen remodelling but also to alleviate both vascular and pigmented issues, restoring the skin to a more youthful appearance. It has proven to be particularly effective for treating age spots, freckles, acne, and rosacea. Most patients do not find these treatments to be painful due to the cooling system built into the machine.
How IPL Works
IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are performed using a handheld device that delivers a broad spectrum of light onto the skin’s surface. The wavelengths of light penetrate deep into the skin tissue to stimulate the cells beneath the skin’s surface and trigger the body’s ‘purging’ response so that it eliminates injured tissues and dead skin cells that may be stuck deep within the skin’s surface.
