Photo-rejuvenation
Photo-rejuvenation is a universal solution to the three main problems: pigmentation, appearance of enlarged vessels, relaxation, wrinkles.
The procedure is performed with an IPL (Intensed Pulsed Light) device, emitting light in a different spectrum using special filters. Into the skin, the rays interact with it and provoke beneficial bioactive processes.
Photo-rejuvenation clears thin cappilaries, some hyperpigmentations and stimulates collagen formation. The effect is visible facial refreshment, wrinkle removal and skin coloring. The complex effect of therapy and minimal recovery period make it one of the most popular procedures for facial rejuvenation.
Apart from photo-rejuvenation, IPL therapy can be used in the treatment of cuperosis, acne, some vascular malformations and hair removal.
