Sun bummer
Now that the summer holidays are behind us, the sun is leaving its shadow behind more often than you think. Fortunately, there is more and more awareness and we now apply factor to our noses. However, research shows that it is not enough. Visit Medicadermis for a remedy against old skin damage caused by the sun and good tips for sun protection for future sun adventures. For example: "how do I update my sun protection when I am wearing makeup?" At Medicadermis, we combine IPL and fractional laser therapy as the most effective approach against skin aging caused by the sun, also known as photo-aging.
What is photo-aging?
Photo-aging, also known as sun damage, is caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation. It is the main cause of wrinkles, pigment spots, and sagging skin. These signs of aging are mainly visible on the face, neck, shoulders, and décolleté, the parts of your skin that are exposed to the most sunlight.
The solution for Photo-aging
Often there are multiple skin problems, such as redness due to blood vessels, pigment spots and sagging skin. You can't solve that with a single treatment. That's why we combine two powerful techniques: IPL and the fractional ResurFx laser.
- IPL tackles superficial problems such as pigment spots and redness.
- ResurFx works on deeper layers to produce collagen and firm the skin.
The benefits of this combination treatment
-
Fast results
Pigment spots often disappear within a week, and redness is usually significantly reduced after two weeks. This quickly gives you a fresher appearance. -
Long lasting effect
The ResurFx laser remains active in your skin for up to nine months after treatment. By combining IPL directly with the fractional laser, you will enjoy a smoother skin faster and build a long-lasting result. -
Deeper action, greater effect
After an IPL treatment, there is more moisture in your skin. The ResurFx laser absorbs this moisture, making the treatment more intensive and effective, without the additional risk of complications.
What can you expect after the treatment?
After the combination treatment, your skin may be a little red and swollen. This usually disappears within a few hours. Pigment spots will rise and flake off within five days, while the redness will fade within the same period.
No wounds will develop and your skin will remain closed. You can continue your daily activities and even wear make-up, such as medical camouflage products that allow the skin to breathe, such as products such as lycogel or Oxygenetix to camouflage your skin.
Backed by scientific research
Research shows that the combination of IPL and fractional laser in the same skin treatment is very effective. In a study, subjects received three treatments, with four weeks between each session. The results showed clearly improved skin texture and less pigmentation.
In short, the combination of IPL and fractional laser is the treatment to effectively tackle sun damage. You enjoy direct results and work on a firmer, smoother skin in the long term.
