Looking for corrective skin treatment? Light treatment works by targeting colour in the skin — pigment, or the blood inside a vessel. That colour absorbs the light and turns it to heat, which breaks down the mark and prompts the skin to repair and rebuild. We use it two ways, depending on what your skin needs. At your consult we’ll discuss your skin concerns, and Kellie will decide the course of action that will achieve the best result for your skin.
IPL — for redness and pigmentation. IPL targets colour in the skin: facial redness, broken capillaries, age spots and pigmentation. The light is absorbed by the mark or the vessel and breaks it down, so your body can clear it away. It can treat a single area or the whole face, and feels like a quick flick of an elastic band. You’ll see a change straight away — pigmentation usually darkens and micro-crusts before it lifts, and red veins can darken or disappear. Several treatments may be needed to clear a mark completely.
BBR — Broadband Rejuvenation, for overall skin quality. Rather than targeting particular marks, BBR works on the quality of the skin as a whole, stimulating collagen and elastin production for clearer, smoother, more even skin with minimal downtime. It feels like a warm stone massage over the skin. Unlike IPL, BBR is progressive — like skin needling, collagen and elastin take time to build, so results come from a course rather than one session, with ongoing maintenance to keep them.
Kellie will consult with you on whether this treatment is right for your skin.
