Intense Puled Light (IPL)
Intense pulsed light (IPL) uses filtered broad band light technology to selectively heat specific targets (chromophores) in the skin. Depending on the wavelength selected, the target chromophores can be melanin or haemoglobin. In this way, superficial pigmented lesions, spider veins and hair follicles can be selectively destroyed without harming the surrounding normal skin.
The Anthélia IPL machine is a product of renowned French manufacturer Eurofeedback. This device is the culmination of 13 years of experience in the field of light technology. The company holds the International patent, for the treatment of blond and white hairs.
In addition, all the parameters of treatments have been optimized, tested and programmed in order to guarantee effectiveness and safety of the treatments: photoepilation, photorejuvenation, vascular and pigmentary abnormalities, plus collagen stimulation and reorganization.
5 Treatments suggested by Anthélia
- Photo-renovation: improvement of skin texture, reduction of wrinkles and fine lines.
- Vascular treatment: reduction of redness, spider veins, broken capillaries and the inflammation secondary to rosacea.
- Pigmentary treatment: heats the melanin in the skin to eliminate sun damage on the face, décolleté or hands. Effective removal of seborrheic keratoses, age spots, freckles and solar lentigines.
- Treatment of acne: following the absorption of the light by haemoglobin, Anthélia causes restriction of sebum production by the sebaceous glands. This is particularly effective for the treatment of the inflammatory acne.
- Permanent hair reduction: the hair follicle is most susceptible in the Anagen phase, its phase of active growth. Six to eights weeks after the 1st treatment, the affected hairs will have been destroyed, and the hairs which were initially in the Catagen and Telogen (resting) phases would now be in the Anagen phase of growth and thus amenable to treatment by IPL.
