Skin is the largest organ of the body, and it protects all the body organs within. Over time, the cells of our body are being repaired and replaced regularly. The topmost layer of the skin known as the epidermis is made up of dead cells, which are constantly shed from the body. It is the elastin and collagen present in the deeper dermal layer of the skin, which gives skin its strength and elasticity. Production of elastin & collagen cells in the dermis is slowed down as we age, which accounts for the loss of skin tone and the appearance of fine lines.

There are many methods of treating sun-damaged skin, depending on the skin type and the extent of the damage. IPL Photo Facials, combined with Microdermabrasion, produce effective results.

During the IPL treatment, light emitted from the handpiece produces heat, which is absorbed by the cells. This heat stimulates the sluggish fibroblast cells to produce more collagen & elastin fibrils. This increase in the collagen & elastin cell production plumps up the skin, reducing pore size and softening fine lines.

Constant exposure to the sun without proper sun protection causes a change in the skin, which manifests itself as age spots, freckles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. To protect any further skin damage, it is essential to wear sun protection cream with at least SPF 30.
