How does the illumiFacial® treatment work?
The illumiFacial® is a 4-stage treatment Step 1: Cleanse Step 2: Tri-Fruit Acid Peel Step 3: Lynton IPL Step 4: Hydrate and Protect with a trio of serums
What does the treatment feel like?
illumiFacial® is a very quick, comfortable treatment which is designed to provide you with ‘optimum skin health’. Some people will feel a slight tingling sensation when the fruit peel is fi rst applied, but it very quickly subsides. The IPL aspect of this treatment can sometimes be mildly uncomfortable - most people describe the discomfort as feeling ‘warm’ and ‘like a quick pinprick’, which is very tolerable.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of treatments required varies. Results can be seen after just one session. However, a minimum of 3 and up to 6 treatments, at 4-6 week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Treatment is perfect for anyone whose skin exhibits congestion, discolouration and visible signs of ageing. This treatment will improve the appearance, texture and health of your skin.
What should I expect after illumiFacial®?
You may experience a superficial tingling feeling on the skin and you may see a darkening of pigmented spots before they flake away. This means the treatment has worked, providing you with a more even, flawless and brighter skin tone. Following your treatment, you will notice clearer, healthier skin and you will also experience an ongoing improvement to the fi rmness and plumpness of your skin. This is because new collagen is stimulated deep within the skin tissue in the months after treatment.
Pigmentation
Pigmented lesions, such as sun spots, age spots and freckles, that are caused by sun damage can be successfully removed, creating a more flawless appearance.
How does pigmentation removal work?
Short pulses of light are released and are readily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found within pigmented lesions. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and causes the destruction of the melanin-rich cells. This triggers the body’s natural healing process to stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin tissue.
What does a laser treatment feel like?
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and tolerable and no anaesthesia is required.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions will depend on the type and size of the pigmented lesion, but typically a minimum of 3 and up to 6 sessions are recommended. Treatments are carried out every 4 to 6 weeks. Following your course of treatments, top-up sessions are performed as required, usually once or twice a year.
Who is suitable for treatment?
Most people are suitable for treatment. We recommend a consultation with your clinician to ascertain if the treatment will be successful for you. Large, dark, mottled or raised pigmentation cannot be treated and may need to be checked by a dermatologist. Large, dark moles should not be treated, nor should lesions covering a large part of the body. The pigmented marks that respond the best are superfi cial lesions such as those caused by sun damage (sun spots, age spots) and freckles.
