A popular technique for improving damaged and ageing skin is IPL together with RF treatment. A high intensity beam of light is generated by passing an electrical current through a chamber filled with (xenon) gas. Deeper elements in the skin absorb this specific light, causing them to heat up, while the outer skin surface is not disrupted. This allows all the photo-rejuvenation (light therapy) action to occur deep in the skin dermis.

Our Elis IPL with RF treatment is the first technology that combines light and radio frequency energies to effectively and gently rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. Sometimes, practitioners will use IPL rejuvenation in conjunction with a chemical that acts to sensitise the skin to the effects of IPL. This is termed photodynamic photo-rejuvenation, and can improve results because it increases the absorption of light energy into the target tissue.
