IPL and laser procedures

The photo-fractional laser rejuvenation so called Photofabulous procedure combines the effects of two effective lasers: IPL photo-rejuvenation, and ResurFX™ fractional laser resurfacing. This holistic skin rejuvenation procedure has the potential to deliver remarkable results with a single treatment to address a range of skin concerns, such as pigmentation spots, fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin texture and tone.

The IPL technology removes unwanted pigmentation and blood vessel lesions from the skin, while the ResurFX™ fractional laser stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibres in the deeper layers of the skin. The production of new collagen results in smoother, brighter and more youthful skin.
