IPL Foto Facials and 3D Skin Rejuvenation



Every person ages at a different rate and in different ways. Some develop redness, age or sun spots. Others have large pores, fine lines, wrinkles or lax skin. You may have one, two or all of these conditions. Blue Spa's 3D Skin Rejuvenation takes a three-tiered approach to rejuvenating your skin for all of these conditions using our the most advanced aesthetics available today.

Common Questions About 3D Skin Rejuvenation

Who can be treated?

Men and women of any age who wish to improve their skin can be treated. Skin which is lax, has surface wrinkles, redness, brown spots, or enlarged pores are the most common conditions to treat.

What areas can be treated?

The most popular areas for treatment are the face and neck, but other body parts such as the arms and abdomen, are also frequently treated.

What do the treatments feel like?

The IPL FotoFacial delivers a series of pulses of light. When each pulse of light is delivered, you may feel a mild, brief pinching sensation. Laser Genesis treatments are gentle and soothing. During the session you will feel a series of warm pulses along your skin. With each Titan pulse, you will first feel cool, then a brief heating sensation followed by a cool feeling. Most patients are comfortable without taking any medication; a few prefer taking a mild pain reliever beforehand.

How many treatments will I need?

Each treatment regimen is different and customized to an individual patient’s needs. Most patients can expect between 3 and 5 treatments.

Are there any side effects?

The most common side effect is a slight redness or mild swelling in the treated area that disappears within a few hours.

When will I see results?

Immediate results are observed by some patients. More typically, you will see results in two to four weeks and improvements will continue for several months with the Titan and Genesis and you will typically see results immediately after treatment with the Foto facial

How does 3D Skin Rejuvenation compare with other laser treatments?

Most lasers treat only one or two aging conditions. They may diminish red or brown spots; they may just reduce lax skin. Only 3D Skin Rejuvenation addresses all of the most common conditions of aging – age spots, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles and lax skin.

IPL FotoFacials for aging skin, pigmentation and acne scars worked wonders.

Since I was in my 20s I have had horrible Skin Discoloration due to my Irish heritage and years spent in sun. As I hit 30 a couple of hours in the sun would produce such bad discoloration I felt like I wanted to hide, couple that with some hormonal melasma, acne damage and aging my face began to look like a relief map. I hid it with stacks of make up, and it effected very much how I felt about myself, especially in Photo's etc you can really see the discoloration. Made me look OLD.

I started a course of 4 IPLs last year in September every 6 weeks or so and I cannot believe the difference in my skin.

It was amazing the first time around because so much pigmentation came off and I realized the impact the discoloration was having on how people saw me. The results have been incredible. My skin tone is so vastly improved I can now just where a little mineral veil and sunscreen and look great. My fine lines are diminished and my skin health and the quality of my skin has improved.

I am now moved on to having Laser Genesis for my pores and texture this is another Collagen building laser treatment and plumps your skin up and brings back a youthful quality. I'm adding in a couple of Laser TITAN treatments which literally tighten your skin. The combined treatments are called 3D Skin Rejuvenation its the ULTIMATE SKIN TUNE UP! I look 10 years younger than I did a 9 months ago.

I work in a Medi Skin Spa so I get to benefit from the experts around me. But I would recommend this course of treatment to anyone with signs of aging, sun damage, brown spots, acne scars, age spots, discoloration, fine lines or even dark circles under the eyes. Find a practitioner who can design a proper course of treatment or combination of treatments not just tell you that one IPL FotoFacial will fix your pigmentation forever. Always ask about the experience of your provider and make sure they are knowledgeable and clear.

I have learned the hard way the most important thing for your skin is a good SUNSCREEN SPF 30 or above never leave home without it!

I love Blue Medi Spa, and recommend them highly, they have been around for 9 years, highly trained expert practitioners, easy hours, easy access, even the receptionists are Aestheticians. They are not a foofoo spa they are clinical skincare experts.

Blue Spa is the Best of the best!

What happens during IPL FotoFacial treatment?

During the IPL FotoFacial treatment, the patient is provided with safety goggles and a cooling gel is administered to treatment areas. The provider then directs the hand piece against the area being treated. With each light pulse the patient may feel a quick and gentle squeezing feeling. IPL FotoFacial treatment takes approximately 20 minutes. Patients may experience some redness to the treated area immediately after treatment but within a few hours the redness will decrease. Patients may resume regular activity right after the procedure. Practitioners generally recommend a series of four to six IPL FotoFacial treatments set at intervals of three to four weeks.

What is IPL FotoFacial?

Recent trends in beauty have been favoring the use of medical innovations in addressing common skin problems such as acne, redness and uneven tone. Editorials have been singing the praises of one such treatment in particular, IPL FotoFacial. IPL FotoFacial, also known as a photo facial, is a ground-breaking facial treatment that enhances your skin’s tone, color and texture. A non-invasive process of photo-rejuvenation, IPL FotoFacial diminishes brown spots, age spots, redness associated with rosacea and damaged capillaries, as well as treating sun-damaged, aged skin. IPL FotoFacial fosters healthier looking, clearer skin, bringing back a younger looking appearance without the hassle of downtime. IPL FotoFacial is a non-laser based mechanism that directs a sequence of gentle pulses of visible light onto the skin’s surface to abolish sun damage, redness, brown spots, fine lines, broken capillaries, prominent pores and pigment conditions such as rosacea and melasma. During a consultation a provider will evaluate the extent of damage to the skin and customize the treatment for optimum effect. Many patients choose to augment their IPL FotoFacial procedure with microdermabrasion treatments and peels for maximum results. IPL FotoFacial treats practically any area of the body with diffuse redness, excessive freckling, discoloration, uneven skin tone, age spots and sun spots. Parts of the body most impacted by an excess of sun exposure, such as the chest, arms, face and shoulders are popular choices for the IPL FotoFacial procedure.
