What are the benefits?
Pigmentation, vascular concerns and skin texture can be specifically targeted, while treating all of your face. Stimulating collagen and elastin, this treatment produces firmer, smoother, younger and healthier looking skin on the face and body.
The treatments target:
- Vascular (red flushing/rosacea, thread capillaries, cherry angiomas (red spots) and red leg capillaries) – the IPL or laser wavelength is absorbed by the haemoglobin in the blood, heating them to the point where they are destroyed. Following treatment, the vessels quickly clear as they are reabsorbed by the body, leaving little or no trace of the original lesion.
- Pigmentation – pigmented lesions such as sunspots, age spots and liver spots can be successfully removed creating a more flawless, youthful and glowing appearance. The IPL is absorbed by the melanin, causing it to coagulate. Your body’s natural healing process exfoliates it after a few days leaving brighter, more radiant looking skin.
- Rejuvenation – Using energy from the IPL or laser, your fibroblast cell is heated to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This is the key to younger, fresher, smoother skin. The skin uses its natural healing process to filter out pigmentation and redness to even out the skin tone, as well as treating enlarged pores and acne scarring.
What is the downtime?
The treatment has minimal to no downtime.
Are there any possible side effects?
After pigmentation or vascular treatment, the lesion may appear darker and general redness may appear on the face which should go over 24 hours.
How many treatments do I need for best results?
Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated – this will be explained during your consultation. Multiple treatments are required.
Treatment protocol
Pre-treatment protocol
Before any treatment, Aspire will undertake a full review of your medical health and medication.
Avoid sun exposure and sunbeds for 1 month, ensuring SPF 30 minimum is used every day on areas to be treated.
Avoid the use of fake tan or gradual tanning creams for 2 weeks.
Laser and IPL cannot be applied to an area that has undergone any type of electrical facial/body treatment, chemical peel or microneedling and injectables 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Male clients requiring face rejuvenation are required to shave the beard hair to skin level the night before or morning of treatment.
Post-treatment protocol
Avoid trauma to the treated area for 4-5 days afterwards, including strenuous activities, saunas, steam and excessively hot baths. Take cool showers to reduce irritation, keep areas moisturised and protected.
Avoid perfumed products, deodorant and skin/body care. 100% mineral make up may be applied (except with fractional laser).
Please do not use a sunbed or sunbathe at any time when receiving laser or IPL treatments as a tan on your skin may prevent you from receiving your next treatment. Skin should be protected using SPF 30 minimum to the area between treatments.
Skin may appear red and slightly sensitised after treatment. Keep the area cool and apply a soothing cream such as Lynton Light Soothe Serum.
