The Science Behind Medical Aesthetics: IPL, CO2 Laser & Hydrafacial Explained

1. What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment?

IPL, commonly known as photofacial, uses broad-spectrum light (500-1200nm) to target:

• Pigmentation (melanin absorption improves dark spots & dullness)

• Redness (hemoglobin absorption reduces rosacea & acne scars)

• Collagen stimulation (reverses photoaging for firmer skin)

✅ Best for: Skin rejuvenation, acne/redness reduction, and brightening.

2. How Does CO2 Fractional Laser Work?

This 10,600nm infrared laser is absorbed by water in skin tissues, creating controlled micro-injuries to:

• Remove lesions (warts, keratosis, benign tumors)

• Treat precancerous growths (actinic keratosis, Bowen’s disease)

• Resurface skin (acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks)

Key benefit: Triggers collagen remodeling for tighter, smoother texture.

3. Hydrafacial (Mesotherapy): The Ultimate Skin Booster

By delivering hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and peptides into the dermis, it provides:

• Deep hydration (plumps dry skin instantly)

• Anti-aging effects (stimulates collagen & elastin)

• Brightening (fades pigmentation with added tranexamic acid/glutathione)

• Pore refinement (regulates sebum and exfoliation)

Note: Minimal downtime, but consult a dermatologist to customize formulations.
