IPL Skin Rejuvenation – FTT Skin Clinics.

We offer next generation IPL Skin Rejuvenation, hair removal, photo shower, cell toning and vascular lesion removal functionality. 

Our treatments use a high powered computer controlled flash gun to deliver an intense broad spectrum pulse of light.

IPL and Laser both use light and heat for targeted treatments. However IPL uses a broad light spectrum to treat several conditions whereas Lasers use a single wavelength of light which will only treat one condition.

The following IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatments are available:-

• Cell Toning: Short rapid pulses of light remove pigment lesions (such as melasma).
• IPL Photo Rejuvenation: A continuous stream of 300 light pulses/per minute killing bacteria.
• Thread Vein Removal: Thread veins are removed permanently because the light is absorbed by the haemoglobin causing damage to those blood vessels. Eventually the veins break down and are reabsorbed by the body.  
• IPL Hair reduction: Hair cells are killed because the pigment in the hair absorbs light which turns to heat.

We will also  carry out a complementary Skin Analysis to decide on the best course of action prior to treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect during my wrinkle reduction consultation?

Your initial consultation is to assess suitability. Also we would recommend a cooling off period to allow time to consider the procedure prior to your first treatment. Therefore your practitioner will provide information on the procedure and ensuring a full medical history is taken at the time of your consultation.

How do wrinkle reduction treatments work?

Botulinum Toxin Type A works by blocking the signals travelling from nerves to muscles. This reduces muscle movement which preserves skin and alters the delicate balance of facial expression which lies between the muscles.

How long does Botox® take to work and how long does it last?

It usually takes a few days for the muscles to respond, with full effect at 3 weeks at this time FTT Skin Clinics will arrange a review to ensure you are satisfied with your treatment.  The effects are temporary lasting usually about 3-5 months.  Botox® injections will be required to maintain its skin smoothing effects.

I’m worried that I’ll have a “frozen look” ?!?

We prescribe Botox ® specific to you by the vial and will discuss your predicted outcomes at your consultation.  At FTT Skin Clinics we prefer the whole face approach whereby we want results that help you look refreshed and rejuvenated, not frozen or obvious.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers for wrinkle reduction?

Dermal Fillers create volume and smooth out wrinkles. Whereas anti wrinkle injections relax the muscles that cause the wrinkles, fillers are injected directly into wrinkle to add volume and lessen their appearance.
