IPL Photo Rejuvenation ★ Rockhampton

IPL Photo Rejuvenation treats pigment, freckles and wrinkles at Man Thing Rockhampton

Hi and welcome. My name is Andrew Thompson. I've been working on human bodies for 30 years. I will be your therapist during your IPL Photo Rejuvenation treatment.

We all want clear skin, but nature has a way of sabotaging us with imperfections - sun damage, freckles, broken capillaries, and wrinkles.

IPL Photo Rejuvenation, a.k.a. IPL Skin Rejuvenation, can help set things right again.

The end result is improved skin texture and complexion. Treatments are quick, painless, and require no special down time.

Call me on 4926 7778 or 0422 276 202 if you have any questions or to make a booking. You can also book online.

Have a brilliant day.

Andrew Thompson.

FAQ ★ IPL Photo Rejuvenation

This is my first skin treatment. I'm not sure this is what I need.

Sure, I totally get that. I've built a page listing all of the skin treatments that I offer, along with a concise description of what they are and what they do so you can make an informed decision.

Don't hesitate to call if you'd like to discuss your skin issues.

📖   💲   📆

Will I be red after my IPL Photo Rejuve session?

Immediately after the treatment, you may have significant pinkness in the treated area.

This can last a few minutes or a few days. You can fast-track recovery by putting a cold pack on the area or just rolling a can of soft drink on your face.

It usually doesn't take long to calm down.

📖   💲   📆

What can I anticipate from an IPL Photo Rejuvenation treatment?

Over the days that follow, your skin might feel a little dry. Remember to moisturise and drink plenty of water.

After a week or so, your skin should look clearer and feel firmer. This is an ongoing process for 2 to 3 weeks as new and clearer skin makes its way to the surface.

Pigmented areas e.g. freckles, may darken before flaking offt a week later. This is normal. Don't pick at any flaking skin. Simply moisturise.

📖   💲   📆

Should I take pain killers or use numbing cream beforehand?

No. The treatments don't hurt so there's no need for pain killers. Also, I rely on your feedback as to to whether your skin feels too warm during treatment, so please don't take anything.

📖   💲   📆

What type of Photo Rejuve should I get, and how many sessions?

All IPL Photo Rejuvenation treatments will impact pigment, capillaries, and collagen to some extent.

If you have specific skin imperfections you want to address, I can hone in on those issues.

Pigment

If you're specifically bothered by skin tone, freckles etc, or if you simply want a universal treatment, I suggest a pigment treatment.

One treatment will be beneficial, but four sessions, 2 to 4 weeks apart, with microdermabrasion before your first treatment, is the ideal plan of attack.

Capillaries

Spider Veins (Telangiectasis) and broken capillaries can be a bit tricky to eradicate. They are due to aging and constant unprotected skin exposure to the sun.

An IPL Capillary treatment will target haemoglobin in the epidermis, i.e. your superficial skin. That light converts to heat and seals off the broken capillary.

Treatments work best on people who no longer expose themselves to excessive UV light, eg the sun or solariums. Resumption of UV exposure may see the capillary problems return.

Collagen

If you're happy with your skin tone and your main concern is fine lines and wrinkles, I'll most likely suggest RF Skin Tightening instead of photo rejuve.

Collagen renewal is about heating the deeper dermal skin layer. RF heats the dermis more efficiently than IPL as it works on sound waves rather than light.

So, if sagging skin is your main issue, I'll suggest RF or alternating treatments of RF and IPL.

📖   💲   📆

Can I treat pigmented acne scars and acne outbreak at the same time?

No. Acne outbreaks put your skin under great stress which can cause extra pigment issues. The best treatment plan is to perform a course of IPL Acne Treatments first, then deal with the scarring or pigment issues later.

📖   💲   📆

Do I have to shave hair from the treatment area?

Yes. We don't want any hair in the way of the light, or it will impact the efficacy of the treatment.

📖   💲   📆

Can I use depilatory cream instead of shaving before IPL Photo Rejuvenation?

No. Depilatory creams attack keratin and therefore damage the skin's integrity, making it unsafe to treat.

If you've used depilatory creams, wait for two weeks before having Photo Rejuve.

📖   💲   📆

Can I wax instead of shaving before a Photo Rejuvenation session?

Yes, but wait for the skin to calm down as any waxing rash may impact the results. Usually a day is sufficient.

📖   💲   📆

Can I apply skin care products after IPL Photo Rejuvenation?

Once the heat has left your skin, yes.

📖   💲   📆

Do I need to buy any after-care products?

No. All you need is a good sunscreen when outdoors.

📖   💲   📆

Can I go to the gym/shopping etc after my Photo Rejuve treatment?

You can go about your normal activities but be sun smart throughout your course of treatments.

Newly treated skin is more susceptible to sunburn than usual.

This is due to the hyperstimulation of existing collagen and the production of new collagen as a result of the treatment.

📖   💲   📆

Can I treat my facial hair as well during my Photo Rejuve treatment?

Yes, but focus on the IPL Hair Removal treatments first instead of Photo Rejuve.

The reason I suggest this is because the hair removal frequency specifically targets melanin, and that will have a positive impact on your skin. You might end up saving some money.

📖   💲   📆

I've undertaken a course of Roaccutane. Will that affect my Photo Rejuve treatment?

Yes. Roaccutane can make your skin very photo-sensitive which in turn becomes a contraindication for treatment.

You can commence IPL Photo Rejuve three months after finishing your course of Roaccutane.

📖   💲   📆

What are the contraindications for treatment?

Several strong antibiotics, anti-depressants, and malaria medications that can make your skin sensitive to light.

If any of your meds contain minomycin, minocycline, doxycycline, tetracycline, or St John's Wort, you may have to wait until you have finished your course of meds to avoid possible injury.
