Youthful Skin With Photo Rejuvenation

Intense Pulse Light (IPL) is the latest advancement for younger and more beautiful looking skin at Results Laser hair removal Clinic. This FDA approved procedure not only minimises fine lines and wrinkles but eliminates capillaries, rosacea and even some birthmarks.

The aging process can be exacerbated by environmental factors including sun exposure, gravity and hormones. Collagen in the skin deteriorates and results in wrinkles and fine lines surrounding the eyes, lips, brow and décolletage. IPL works exceptionally to combat the effects of aging and regain that youthful, vibrant appearance.

Whilst skin products do work temporarily, the process can sometimes require more effective solution and in some cases is irreversible. The only truly effective treatment for facial, neck, chest and body erythema is IPL Photo Rejuvenation. Unsightly capillaries and small veins on the face and body are removed whilst body erythema, flushing and pigmentation are minimised on the face, neck and chest.

Photo Rejuvenation is clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging, reverse collagen damage and red discolouration. Improvements are visible in a few treatments with 70% of clinical patients noticing improvements after the first treatment. The treatment is safe to treat any part of the body and there is no social downtime associated with the procedure.

Additional advantages of IPL Photo Rejuvenation at Results Laser Hair removal Clinic include:

• Healthier and smoother looking skin
• Reduced pore sizes
• Even skin tone
• Reduced redness and flushing caused by rosacea
• Reduced fine lines
• Enhanced appearance and self-confidence

Sunlight and Wrinkles

Premature skin aging is caused by the effects of the ultraviolet light from sunlight. In fact, symptoms of skin aging can be attributed mostly to the damaging effects of UVA and UVB.

Ultraviolet Radiation

Depending on the wavelength off light, ultraviolet radiation can be divided into:

UVA-320 to 400nm

UVB-290 TO 320nm

UVC- 100 to 290nm

Radiation UVA

A major producer of skin damage, this type of ultra violet radiation is highly penetrative and efficient. It is not filtered by glass and travels more constantly that UVB. It’s harmful radiation effects are do not vary at particular times, days or seasons.

Radiation UVB 

The epidermis is affected by UVB and appears in the form of a sunburn. It’s intensity is subject to time and is most damaging between 10am to 2pm, as well as the warmer seasons. Unlike UVA however, it does not penetrate through glass.

Radiation UBC

This type of radiation does not affect the layers of skin as it is 100% percent absorbed by the ozone layer. Artificial sources that contain UVC include germicidal lamps and mercury arc lamps.

Dermal Breakdown

In contrast to chronologic aging, UV radiation causes faster collagen breakdown.

Free Radicals

Free radicals are caused by UV radiation. Instead of two electrons, they only have one and are unstable. As it must search for other molecules with two electrons, it can interfere with normal cell functions and consequently change genetic material. This damage causes wrinkles by activating metalloproteinases which destroy collagen.

Wrinkles and Ageing

Prior to outlining the causes of wrinkles, it is important to delineate the layers of skin which are affected by the aging process. The skin is made up of three layers; namely the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the top layer of skin which acts as the ultimate protection against external concerns such as UV, pollution and wind. The dermis is the second layer of skin, which contains the connective tissue. This connective tissue includes collagen which provides the skin with strength and elastin fibers to give the skin its spring or elasticity. Fat cells are contained in the subcutaneous tissue and enable the skin to look plump by providing insulation.

Wrinkles and Age

Epidermal cells deteoriate and become thinner with age. Skin appears noticeably thinner due to thinning cells and this allows moisture to be released instead of being retained in the skin. What does this mean? Dryness of course. What’s worse is that there approximately a twelve percent decrease in epidermal cells each decade, impairing the skin’s ability to heal itself. There is a high significance in the effects of aging on the dermal layer. As the elastin fibres exhaust, collagen is slowly reproduced, sagging in the skin is caused as well as modifications in the structure of the skin. Sebum is decreasingly produced by the sebaceous glands and as a result, there are less sweat glands. Once again, dryness in the skin becomes apparent. Fat cells get smaller in the subcutaneous layer. Wrinkles and sagging become more noticeable as the fat cells are unable to make up for the destruction in the outer layers.

Causes of Capillaries

Causes

Most facial veins and capillaries are caused by environmental factors such as sun and wind damage. However, there may also be a genetic predisposition to the problem. Men are often concerned that facial veins give the impression they drink excessive amounts of alcohol. Whilst alcohol does not cause the facial veins or capillaries to appear, it can contribute to a dilated appearance. Other triggers for facial flushing include coffee, tea, heat, exercise and emotion. Facial Veins and Capillaries can often be attributed to:

• Hereditary Factors
• Chronic sun exposure
• Exposure to wind damage
• Exposure to extreme temperatures

Risk Factors

Although the exact cause of facial veins and capillaries may remain a mystery to each individual, a number of factors can aggravate and cause them to appear more prominently. Some of these include:

• Sun exposure
• Excessive cold weather
• Aging process

Other causes can also be attributed to:

• Hereditary Factors
• Oral Contraception
• Hormone Therapyorem

Causes of Skin Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Signs and Symptoms of pigmentation and sun spots

Pigmentation can vary in size and colour however they are usually darker than the skin although they can be pink in colour. Fair skinned individuals are more likely to be affected by moles and freckles which can also be attributed to hereditary factors. Almost everyone has at least some kind of pigmentation whether it be freckles, sun spots, moles or birth marks. There are no real symptoms that cause pigmentation and they may even appear overnight, however in some cases what may appear like normal pigmentation may also be cancerous. Therefore it is imperative that excessive exposure to the sun is approached in a safe manner using a highly protective sunscreen with an SPF of 50+, whilst those with a history of cancer in the family can be put at greater risk.

Causes of Pigmentation and Sun Spots

Pigmentation is caused by an excessive amount of melanin found in certain skin cells. These skin cells generally carry higher levels of melanocytes which produce the melanin causing the skin to appear pigmented in certain areas.

Pigmentation can be attributed to environmental factors such as:

• Excessive exposure to the sun
• The contraceptive pill
• Hormones
• Pregnancy
• Ageing
• Hereditary factors
