What is photorejuvenation?
Answer: Photorejuvenation refers to the removal of various skin imperfections after effective treatment of skin-related lesions by Intense Pulse Light (IPL).
Photon is also known as colored light because it has a wavelength of 400-1200 nm. It can emit light waves of various wavelengths, such as red light, yellow light, and orchid light, which can be used to treat various skin lesions in response to the action of each wavelength on the skin. For example, the wavelength of about 500nm acts on blood vessels to treat capillary dilation, etc. The wavelength of about 600-700nm is easily absorbed by melanin and can treat pigmented lesions such as freckles and coffee spots, etc. The specific wavelength can also be used for hair removal. So its selective wavelength is set by the filtering technology. There are commonly used 560, 590, 615, 640, 695, 755 nm, etc. Using this advanced high-tech cosmetic program, a specific broad spectrum color light is used to irradiate directly on the skin surface, it can penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin, selectively acting on the subcutaneous pigments or blood vessels, decomposing pigmentation, closing abnormal red blood vessels, lifting various blemishes on your skin, while photon can also stimulate subcutaneous collagen growth, making your skin fresh, young, healthy and shiny.
