| IPL (intense pulse light ) is becoming quite a popular treatment to address skin concerns such as sun damage, collagen depletion, freckles, redness, skin texture or even assist in clearing up acne. Skin Rejuvenation/Pigmentation treatments that use IPL is appealing to most clients due to the fact there is no down time needed compared to ablative skin resurfacing treatments which can leave you hiding for up to 2 weeks. The professional aestheticians at Ayurve Spa will assist you in the best possible treatment plan and will go above and beyond in assuring you reach your desired results. |

- How it works?
-
A beam of light is transmitted through a small, smooth, flat glass hand piece which is gently placed on the skin. During the treatment, the IPL wave length is absorbed into the melanin (pigment), It has a heating effect on the melanin causing it to shatter.
- How does it feel?
- You may feel a sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band each time the IPL is applied to the skin, although the IPL head does have built in cooling so this will take away from any discomfort you may experience in the skin and make the treatment more pleasant.
- What to expect?
- Immediately following the treatment, your skin may feel quite warm and may have a stinging sensation like sunburnt skin, which will calm down over a couple of hours, this is a desired reaction as we want to successfully heat the skin to the point of having a successful effect on the target area. When treating pigment you will notice the spots will darken in the first 24-48 hrs and will slowly crust allowing the spots to gently flake off over the next 1-2 weeks leaving you with lighter spots if any.
- What areas can I treat?
- Pigmentation treatments can be virtually anywhere on the body that has been pigmented by the sun.Please Note :the desired area for treatment needs to be out of the sun for 4-6 weeks prior treatment and then continually throughout the rest of treatment.
- How many treatments are recommended?
- We do packages of 2-4 treatments forPigmentation, there is a 1-2 week waiting period between each treatment, but you do often see improvements after each session.
