Photoréjuvenation is an aesthetic procedure aimed at improving skin quality, reducing pigmented spots, and minimizing redness. It uses technologies based on light or light energy to achieve these results. Here are some of the techniques commonly used for photorejuvenation:

  1. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) : IPL emits intense broad-spectrum light pulses to selectively target melanin pigments responsible for pigmented spots and dilated blood vessels responsible for skin redness. It is effective in improving the appearance of sunspots, freckles, rosacea, and other pigmentation issues.
  2. Fractional Laser : Fractional laser emits tiny fractional laser beams to target specific areas of the skin. It is effective in reducing fine lines, acne scars, pigmented spots, and improving overall skin texture.
  3. Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) : PDL laser specifically targets dilated blood vessels responsible for skin redness, such as angiomas and telangiectasias.
  4. Q-switched Laser (532 nm and others) : Q-switched lasers use specific wavelengths to break down melanin pigments responsible for pigmented spots. The 532 nm Q-switched laser is particularly effective in this regard.
  5. LED (LED Light Therapy) : LED light therapy uses light-emitting diodes to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

The selection of the photorejuvenation technique will depend on your specific skin concerns and the recommendation of your aesthetic medicine professional. Each of these methods can play a significant role in enhancing skin quality and overall appearance.

IPL Photorejuvenation in Basel – Saint-Louis : Discover how Nordlys treatment for radiant skin works

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment with the Nordlys system for photorejuvenation works by using intense broad-spectrum light pulses to stimulate skin regeneration and improvement. Here’s how it works in detail :

  1. Parameter Selection : Before the procedure, an aesthetic medicine professional adjusts the Nordlys system’s parameters based on the specific needs of the patient. This includes selecting the appropriate wavelength based on skin type, the skin condition to be treated, and photorejuvenation goals.
  2. Application of gel or conductor gel : A gel or conductor gel is typically applied to the treatment area to ensure optimal contact between the Nordlys system’s handpiece and the patient’s skin.
  3. Emission of Light Pulses : The Nordlys system’s handpiece is applied to the skin, and intense broad-spectrum light pulses are emitted. These light pulses penetrate the skin’s surface without significant damage.
  4. Selective Absorption : The emitted light is selectively absorbed by melanin pigments in the skin, including pigmented spots and irregularities. It can also target dilated blood vessels responsible for skin redness.
  5. Collagen Stimulation : The light energy absorbed by melanin or blood vessels causes a controlled elevation of temperature in the targeted area. This increase in heat stimulates collagen production, an essential protein that contributes to skin firmness, elasticity, and youthfulness.
  6. Improvement in Skin Texture and Appearance : Over time, Nordlys IPL treatment sessions promote cell regeneration, reduce pigmented spots, diminish redness, and improve overall skin texture. Fine lines and enlarged pores can also be reduced.
  7. Post-Treatment Care : After the treatment session, it is recommended to follow the aesthetic medicine professional’s post-treatment care advice, including the use of sunscreen products to protect the recently treated skin and the use of a cosmetic routine.

The number of Nordlys IPL treatment sessions required will depend on the patient’s skin condition and specific photorejuvenation goals. A series of sessions is typically recommended for optimal results.

Before/after photorejuvenation treatment

What precautions should I take before and after IPL NORDLYS treatment at the Basel – Saint-Louis Laser Center ?

Before and after IPL Nordlys treatment, it is essential to take certain precautions to maximize treatment effectiveness and minimize the risk of adverse effects. Here are some precautions to take :

Before treatment :

Consultation with a professional: Schedule a preliminary consultation with a qualified aesthetic medicine professional to discuss your concerns, expectations, and medical history. This will help determine if IPL treatment is suitable for you.
Avoid sun exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure and artificial tanning for at least four to six weeks before treatment. Tanned skin can be more sensitive to intense pulsed light, increasing the risk of side effects.
Discontinue photosensitizing products: Cease the use of any photosensitizing products or medications, such as retinoids, certain antibiotics, and glycolic acid-based products, as per your professional’s recommendations.

After treatment :

Sunscreen protection: Protect your skin from the sun by generously applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Avoid direct sun exposure, especially in the days following treatment.
Avoid irritating products: Steer clear of potentially irritating skincare products, such as chemical exfoliants, for a few days after treatment.
Cooling: Your professional may apply soothing gel or a cold compress to the treated skin to relieve temporary redness and warmth sensations.
Avoid heat: Refrain from activities that lead to an increase in body heat, such as hot baths, sauna, or intense exercise for a few days after treatment.
Makeup: You can typically resume using makeup products after treatment, but ensure they are gentle on the skin and do not cause irritation.
Follow instructions: Carefully follow the post-treatment instructions provided by your aesthetic medicine professional, as they may vary depending on the specifics of your treatment.

It is important to discuss these precautions in detail with your aesthetic medicine professional, as they can vary based on your skin type, the treated area, and the specific treatment protocol. Adhering to these precautions will help ensure optimal results and minimize potential risks.
