Skin Rejuvenation, also known as Photorejuvenation, is a series of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or laser treatments that improve the appearance of rosacea, flushing, broken capillaries, spider veins, sun-damaged skin, age spots and skin texture. Treatment also improves mild acne scars, tightens pores and softens fine lines.
You will enjoy smoother skin with a more even tone. Treatments are especially effective for improving the appearance of the face, neck, chest, and hands. You can usually resume your normal life immediately!
IPL photorejuvenation may be effective at reducing the redness of your skin. A consultation will confirm if this is the right treatment for you.
A series of treatments and annual top-ups can be used to give your skin a smoother tone and develop a more even appearance.
Depending on your condition a series of treatments often leads to a smoother more pleasant feeling skin texture and can help reduce pore size.
An intense light is applied in a series of gentle pulses over the treatment area. Without damaging the skin, the light penetrates through the skin and is absorbed by the abnormally dilated vessels or pigmentation.
The heat causes damage to the vessel or brown patch, and the body begins its natural healing process. The brown patch will darken before it flakes off, or the body absorbs it. Treatments are ideally spaced every three or four weeks. You should find the treatment process is quick, safe and normally not too uncomfortable.
A cooling gel is first applied to the area to be treated and you’ll be asked to wear protective eyewear. A state-of-the-art IPL machine is used to deliver precise pulses of light to treat the pigment or imperfection without damaging surrounding tissue.
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Follow up treatments may be desired annually to maintain your results.
Your treatment may vary from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area. First, the area to be treated is cleansed and a cool gel applied. After your treatment, the gel is removed, the skin cleansed, and sunscreen applied. Immediately following your treatment, your skin may appear flushed, brown pigment spots may appear darker, and capillaries may be more visible. Occasionally, temporary swelling and or bruising can occur.
You should expect to see a gradual decrease in redness, broken capillaries, flushing, irregular pigmentation, pore size and fine lines. After each treatment, your skin will feel smoother and appear to have a more even tone.
Most patients find their treatment is relatively pain-free. To improve your comfort we may use a chilled air blower to remove heat from the treatment area. You may experience a slight tingling sensation and have some redness which normally dissipates after an hour or two.

Wearing our iS Clinical sunscreen all year round and to use our iS Clinical Superserum, which is an antioxidant skin serum with concentrated Vitamin A & C, which are fair skin savers.

Emma has been coming to Qutis clinics for about 10 years You will see from the photographs that she looks younger now than she did 10 years ago! She reasons that this has been down to sensible management of her complexion and skin as well as replacing loss of volume and reducing wrinkles. Emma has invested in intense pulse light (IPL) treatments to enhance collagen and erase her sun damage pigmentation. She’s also chosen laser resurfacing treatment in order to get rid of some scars and to refine her complexion. She has regular, moderate amounts of Botox and Dermal Fillers to her cheeks, jowls and lips; the results speak for themselves. In the after photo (above right) it is clear to see Emma has a much clearer complexion than ten years ago. Her skin appears so much healthier, as the texture is greatly improved due to it being plumper, well-hydrated and the skin elasticity has been restored. All of this has had an impact on Emma's fine lines and wrinkles also, as despite the second photo being taken ten years on from the first, all of the sagging, wrinkled skin under the eye and the deep nasolabial folds have almost disappeared.
