How Do Intense Pulsed Light Non-surgical Treatments work for wrinkles and fine lines?

Photofacial skin rejuvenation works by passing a flash of bright light through a filter that only allows a specific color of light in the flash to pass through the filter and hit the skin.

In the process of heating up your skin, IPL encourages the production of more collagen. … Once produced, the collagen goes to work on improving the effects of sun damage and the other factors that make your skin look more age. After IPL, you will notice a big improvement in the appearance of your fine lines

Photofacial or IPL anti-aging skin care treatments use a bright flash of visible light, like the light of a camera flash to remove pigmentations (Age spots, Sun spots, Brown spots and Freckles) blood vessels non-surgically from the skin. This pulsed or flashed light is very different from a laser as it is a broad-spectrum that can affect multiple skin conditions at once.

Microneedling

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is the most effective way to rejuvenate and repair the skin.
Microneedling is a method of mechanical stimulation of the skin, in which millions of microchannels are created in the skin using tiny needles. By stimulating collagen production, it also repairs the structure and function of damaged and altered skin. In Microneedling , the treatment is such that a number of very fine and sterile needles with the specified depth and speed which are determined by the type of skin and the intended target, enter the skin layer simultaneously.

How does Microneedling work and benefits ?

Microneedling is done using a device that contains tiny, fine needles to puncture the skin. By plucking with the tips of the needles, the device creates a controlled area of damage at the surface level of the skin

At this time, the immune system is activated increasing the release of growth factors ,the production of collagen and elastin fibers as well as increasing the thickness of the first layer of the skin( epidermis).

Collagen and elastin are actually protein fibres that are responsible for strengthening and maintaining the elasticity of the skin and are a major factor in skin rejuvenation.
Cases that can be improved through Microneedling:
1- Appearance of wrinkles
2- Acne scars
3-  Stretch marks

4- Skin texture

Post treatment recovery:

Microneeding  is a minimally invasive treatment that causes minor damage to the skin to help promote healing and rejuvenation. The treatment may cause some discomfort and redness, but these effects are temporary and will subside. Patients can leave our facility shortly after the treatment with a very short recovery period. Patients usually return to their normal daily activities within the next day.

Generally, the microneedling procedure takes about a few weeks time to show initial results. Full results can be seen within a few weeks after the procedure. This is due to the fact that the body requires some time to heal and produce a healthy amount of collagen. Patients can expect to see major improvements in their skin in the following weeks to come post-treatment.

TriPolar ( Radio Frequency)

Radio-Frequency (RF) is a technology that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to induce heat within a tissue. The first person to recognize the therapeutic effect of RF was Nikola Tesla in 1891. RF technology was embraced by the medical community during the 1920’s, and has been maturing and improving ever since. Today, the medical applications of RF technology include electrosurgery ablations, hyperthermy treatment of cancer, neurosurgery, MRI imaging, ophthalmology and more.     

TriPollar® is the only RF technology in the industry which allows multiple RF electrodes to work at the same time. The technology was named “TriPollar” because the first TriPollar applicator included 3 electrodes.

In the OxyGeneo system, the TriPollar® applicator includes 4 electrodes that work together to create 4 heat fields inside the skin simultaneously. For comparison, mono/bi-polar create only one heat field at any given time.
