Here at K Govind, Medical Aesthetics, we invest a great deal in the equipment that we use, ensuring that we have the tools required to successfully deliver the broadest range of services possible.
Take Lynton’s LUMINA® IPL and Laser System, for example, which is a high-tech machine that can help to deliver more than 24 aesthetic treatments.
From resurfacing and skin rejuvenation to acne treatment and pigmentation removal, our LUMINA® IPL and Laser System allows us to meet a number of our clients’ beauty needs. But how does this machine work, and what precise treatments does it help to deliver?
How Does the Lynton LUMINA® IPL & Laser System Work?
IPL stands for ‘Intense Pulse Light’, while its laser releases short and intense pulses of filtered light that are easily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found in various parts of the skin (such as freckles, sun or liver spots).
The rapid absorption of light heats the melanin and causes minor, reversible thermal damage to the skin. In response, the dermis produces anti-inflammatory proteins like collagen and elastin in higher volumes, promoting natural healing while correcting a number of different flaws and conditions.
What Can we Treat with the Lynton LUMINA® IPL & Laser System?
As we’ve touched on, our LUMINA® machine enables us to carry out a range of treatments here at K Govind, Medical Aesthetics. Here are some of the most popular!
Acne Treatment
By increasing the production of collagen, our LUMINA® IPL & Laser System can dramatically reduce inflammation of the dermis. This is key to the treatment of acne, as it helps to reduce both the severity and frequency of active lesions by directly targeting the overactive sebaceous glands. Make no mistake; IPL treatments can help with effective skin resurfacing over time, reducing the impact that acne has on your everyday life in the process.
Vascular Treatment
Facial thread veins are susceptible to breakage, creating superficial red, blue or purple blemishes around the nose or cheeks. These can be hereditary or caused by factors such as sun exposure, but regardless, IPL treatment can help by applying light energy directly to the affected areas of skin. The light is then absorbed by blood vessels, which are heated to the point of destruction before they clear and the original lesion is removed.
Pigmentation Removal
From sun and liver spots to freckles, you may encounter many different types of pigmentation over the course of your life. Pigmentation is also associated with ageing, of course, as the skin becomes less able to regenerate in the wake of sun exposure over time. However, freckles and similar blemishes contain high levels of melanin, which naturally absorbs bursts of light from our IPL machine. Over the course of just a few treatment sessions, the melanin-rich cells are slowly eradicated, leaving your skin more even and youthful.
Ultimately, the LUMINA® IPL & Laser System uses light and heat to deliver a range of aesthetic benefits, from skin rejuvenation and restoration to the successful treatment of acne. To learn more about IPL and all of its potential treatments, click here and contact the clinic directly.
