Is It Enough To Do Intense Pulsed Light Skin Rejuvenation For Only Ten Minutes?

Intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation has always been a very popular facial treatment. Many people think that the more times and the longer the treatment, the better the effect would be. Some have been wondering if it is enough that the beauticians only give them a 10-minute treatment. As a matter of fact,longer treatment time does not necessarily mean better result,sometimes it may even cause irreversible damage to the skin.

Intense pulsed light is a composite light, and its wavelength range is wider than that of a single light. The wavelength range used in intense pulsed light photorejuvenation is between 400nm and 1200nm. Different wavelengths target different skin problems. Simply put, it is a selective photothermal effect, which can decompose epidermal melanin, restore skin elasticity, and stimulate subcutaneous collagen regeneration to solve various skin disorders, pigmentation, and capillary dilation problems.

In fact, the operation time of Intense pulsed light skin rejuvenation is not long, generally 8-20 minutes. The beautician will choose a single or multiple filters according to the situation. Of course, this is just the treatment time. In the preparation phase before the treatment, the customer's skin must be cleaned and the gel must be applied. After the treatment is completed, the facial gel must be cleaned and the skin must be cold-applied with a medical mask for about 20 minutes. Therefore, although the actual operation time is short, the entire process takes about 50 minutes.

Operation time ≠ effect

The treatment effect depends more on the machine quality and beautician’s operation skills. The number of times and duration cannot play a decisive role in the effect of photorejuvenation. On the contrary,if multiple filters are repeatedly applied to the skin, due to the photothermal effect, too much light will accumulate, causing excessive thermal damage, leading to adverse reactions.Too much or too long will also bring certain side effects.

A high quality Intense pulsed light machine and suitable parameter setting are the key to photorejuvenation. You can contact us for our detailed treatment video and user manual to get to know how to perform photorejuvenation effectively.
