How does it work?
The Pulsar IPL treatment works on the basis of selective absorption of light by tissue (photo-thermolysis). The treatment is:
- Safe and effective
- Virtually pain free
- Proven clinical results
What will the treatment be like?
The procedure is as follows:
- A trained, clinically certified person will always carry out the treatment.
- The area to be treated is prepared.
- A clear, hypo-allergenic gel is applied to cool the skin.
- The Pulsar Applicator is then applied directly to the skin and the selected area is treated via a series of intense bursts of light. Each burst of light represents a 5cm squared treatment area.
