Everyone loves a flawless skin texture, appearance and looks. However, it gets hard to maintain the beauty and escape the wrath of blemishes, wrinkles and fine lines with aging skin. The damage to the skin not only reduces the charm of a person but also end up hampering self-confidence.

The demand for beauty procedures, including invasive and non- invasive, has drastically increased in the last few years. For the same reason, several major technological advancements have taken place in the aesthetic industry and in the field of cosmetology to provide skin rejuvenation services to people.

One such latest technology in the field of cosmetology is intense pulsed technology (PPL). This technology uses different wavelengths of light to treat targeted skin conditions such as pigmentation, red and brown spots, blotches, wrinkles, and spider veins. PPL therapy is alternatively known as photorejuvenation, photo facial or facial rejuvenation.

Here’s the input by Dr. Geetika Goel, Consultant, Clinic Dermatech.

Power Photofacial (PPL)

Photo facial is a non-abrasive facial procedure using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology. Light energy is transmitted to the superficial and deep tissues, stimulating the production of collagen. As a result, it softens the appearance of ageing skin. Fine lines, wrinkles and redness associated with rosacea are also dramatically reduced with photo facials.
