However, research shows that it is still not enough. Visit Medicadermis for a remedy. against old sun-induced skin damage and good tips for sun protection for future solar adventures. Such as, for example: "how do I work my Sun protection when I have makeup on? At Medicadermis, we combine IPL and fractional laser therapy as the most effective approach to sun-induced skin aging, 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 the main cause of wrinkles, pigment spots, and sagging skin. These signs of aging are most 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 caused by broken capillaries, pigmentation spots, and sagging skin. A single treatment cannot solve this. That is why we combine two powerful techniques: IPL and the fractional ResurFx laser.

• IPL addresses superficial problems, such as pigmentation spots and redness.
• ResurFx works on deeper layers to produce collagen and make the skin firmer.

The benefits of this combination treatment

1. Quick result
   Pigment spots often disappear within a week, and redness is usually significantly reduced after two weeks. That quickly gives you a fresher appearance.

2. 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 enjoy more even skin faster and build towards a long-lasting result.

3. Deeper action, more effect
   After an IPL treatment, there is more moisture present in your skin. The ResurFx laser absorbs this moisture, making the treatment more intensive and effective, without an increased risk of complications.

What can you expect after the treatment?

After the combination treatment, your skin may be somewhat red and swollen. This usually subsides within a few hours. Pigment spots rise to the surface and flake off within five days, while the redness fades within the same period.

No wounds are created and your skin remains intact. You can simply continue your daily activities and even wear makeup, such as medical camouflage products that allow the skin to breathe; think of products like Lycogel or Oxygenetix to camouflage your skin.

Supported 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 ultimate treatment to effectively tackle sun damage. You enjoy immediate results and work towards firmer, more even skin in the long term.
