Meet the cutting-edge Photofacial.
"Curated from scratch to do what its name suggests, there's indeed nothing quite like the "IPL radiance and glow"!"
The Radiance Plus facial has all the elements of a facial (double cleansing, facial massage and mask); with the added benefit of the IPL technology. Such "photo-facials" have been a perennial favourite for years, bridging the gap between your regular spa facials and aesthetics laser therapy to keep your complexion pigment and wrinkle-free.
About the IPL technology: With the help of different filters, light of varying wavelengths is converted into heat energy when absorbed by chromophores in the skin. A chromophore is an atom or group whose presence is responsible for the colour of a compound, such as brown pigment in sun spots/age spots, redness of broken capillaries and even bacteria which cause acne. When this happens, the target tissues “suffer” thermal injury and are eventually eliminated from the skin. As the healing process begins in response to the “controlled injury” caused, healthy collagen and elastin are produced and the skin is restored to its healthy and natural condition.
The ALMA difference: As technology gets more developed and refined with time, this gave birth to the newer generation of IPL machines such as the ALMA system, pre-selecting 3 specific interchangeable filters that set new standards for treating skin conditions associated with ageing and pigmentation irregularities, with little to no downtime and exceptional long term benefits. While previously one of the most dreaded side effects of IPL was the risk of burns, especially in darker-skinned individuals, the ALMA system has been shown to work equally well on all skin types.
