What are the alterations of the aging skin?
Our skin changes with age and is affected by excess influence of ultraviolet rays of the sun spectrum. Fine lines and wrinkles emerge as well as pigmented spots and dilated capillaries, while the skin looses its tone and elasticity, hardens and becomes flabby. These alterations are caused by the thinning out of the epidermis and the deterioration of collagen and elastin. The result: problematic, tired and slackened skin.
Here is an exciting technology for treatment of a wide range of skin problems Luminence- Intense Pulsed IPL Photorejuvenation, which successfully treats fine lines and pores, small wrinkles, pigmented spots, freckles, Rosacea symptoms, broken capillaries and haemangioma.
The treatment is mild and non-invasive and adds radiance to the complexion and youth and elasticity to the skin. There is no recovery period as in the cosmetic surgery or in the different peels. The therapy is based on the ability of the tissue to absorb to the maximum certain wavelengths. The power can be very precisely dosed so that there is little or no recovery period at all.
A computer regulates the parameters of the light pulse and the wavelength of the shaft of light varies between 500 and 1200 nm. This wavelength can only affect problematic areas in depth without damaging the surrounding tissue. The depth of penetration and the power dose are adapted in accordance with individual needs, problems and skin type.
The light in the course of the therapy provokes accelerated deposition of collagen in the derma. This, on the one hand, removes problematic zones such as spots, broken capillaries and Rosacea and on the other rejuvenates the skin in one and the same procedure. The higher concentration of collagen in the skin is a natural prerequisite for younger and tighter skin. After the stimulating effect of the IPL-therapy the skin of the face and neck is revitalized "from the inside".

What is the most suitable time for the procedures?
Normally the procedures are done in autumn and in winter in order to avoid risk of skin pigmentation. The optimal interval is 3-4 weeks. All who wish to avoid invasive manipulations can achieve wonderful results combining the procedure (not in one and the same time) with IPL fillers, laser resurfacing, peeling and botulinum toxin.
Which are the main advantages of the method?
- The skin of the face, neck and neckline flattens – wrinkles and fine lines are less and the pigmentation and dilated capillaries disappear. The complexion becomes even and the skin looks younger and toned.
- The procedures are safe and there is no recovery period, which means that the patient can continue with her daily activities and social life without interruption.
- The results are durable – the clinical studies and the histological research have confirmed that the collagen synthesis once stimulated continues for more than 6 months after treatment end.

- Epilepsy, etc. neurological disorders.
- Concomitant administration of photosensitive substances that increase skin sensitivity towards sunlight.

Application of a hydrating cream between the procedures. Avoiding of cosmetic products with alphahydroxi acids, retinoids and exfoliating substances. Avoiding of sharp variations in the temperature, mechanic traumas and cosmetic manipulations up to one week after the laser therapy. The complete treatment course includes 4-6 procedures.

One or two procedures are recommended annually to maintain the achieved results.
