LASER SKIN REJUVENATION WITH THE ALPHA 2-IN-1 SYSTEM™
Genetics only determine about 20 percent of the aging process, giving you the power to fight premature skin aging. Alpha System™ laser treatments 
can help reverse the effects of sun and environmental skin damage to take years off your appearance. At London Laser we use gentle intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to reduce the appearance of dark spots, redness, enlarged pore size, blotchy skin color, wrinkles, Rosacea and uneven pigmentation without causing painful side effects. Some of those skin conditions are the result of sun damage, acne, or other ailments, or simply the result of aging. Good candidates for IPL photo facials are people with light skin that is still somewhat elastic.
How Does Laser Skin Rejuvenation Work?
Alpha™ serves us for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Technology, also referred to as Photofacial or Fotofacial. IPL improves the appearance of photo-aged skin, including age spots (sun induced freckles), most benign brown pigments, and erythema caused by broken capillaries, through a process called Photo Rejuvenation. IPL treatments are considered “non ablative” and typically require five to six treatments separated by three to four week intervals.
Intense pulsed light is light energy that will only be absorbed in the lower levels of your skin, so it will not affect surrounding tissues or muscles. As the energy is absorbed, the production of collagen is stimulated and begins to repair skin imperfections. The creation of new skin cells is also accelerated to replace old and damaged cells.
What to Expect During Laser Skin Revitalization
IPL/Photofacial treatments are relatively comfortable. Most people describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping. We do offer topical numbing cream if desired to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Following treatment you may feel some tenderness much like a sunburn which will dissipate with time. A typical treatment session takes about 15-20 minutes.
IPL photo facials can show results immediately, but the best results will be after a few treatments. We recommend 5 to 7 photo facial sessions spread out over about three weeks. The number of pulses depends on the attention that needs to be paid to specific problem areas; this also affects the time of each procedure. Usually, they can last 15 to 30 minutes. Recovering from the procedure is simple. All people treated need to remember to avoid the sun immediately after and to use sunblock for a couple weeks following a procedure.
Here are some of the benefits. IPL photo facial can help:
- repair visible blood vessels
- eradicate sun spots or other discoloration
- get rid of acne
- get rid of large pores
- treat rosacea
- stimulate collagen growth
- reduce wrinkling
- slow hair growth
IPL photo facials just might be the right choice for those looking to alter something on the face. It’s known as a safe procedure with few and rare side effects, and it’s also quick and simple.
