Study Notes
Rejuvenation and Wrinkles: Understanding the Aging Process and IPL Treatment
- Aging causes a decrease in collagen production, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin.
- IPL treatment can improve skin texture and plumpness, with the rejuvenation setting using deeper wavelengths for collagen stimulation.
- 4-6 IPL treatments, 2-3 weeks apart, are recommended for optimal results.
- Combining IPL treatment with micro/peeling and LED light therapy can enhance the rejuvenation process.
- The aging of skin is a complex process, with chronological aging and photo-aging as the main causes.
- Collagen diminishes and the skin becomes less flexible as we grow older, resulting in drier and thinner skin.
- Harmful UVA and UVB rays from the sun further damage the skin's supportive structure and reduce collagen production.
- Fine wrinkles are caused by a combination of intrinsic aging and long-term exposure to UV radiation.
- Intrinsic aging leads to a reduction of collagen and hyaluronic acids in the dermis.
- Extrinsic aging is mainly caused by UV radiation, which breaks down collagen fibers and reduces skin elasticity.
- IPL treatment heats collagen fibers and stimulates dermal fibroblasts, leading to increased synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins and partial replacement of lost dermal volume.
- IPL treatments with wavelengths from 510-640 nm can thicken the epidermis, decrease horny plugs, form new rete ridges, reduce degenerated elastic fibers, and promote new dermal collagen formation.
