Transform your skin with light therapy - IPL treatments with the world-famous Lumenis device tailored to your skin
Despite numerous new technologies, IPL is still considered the gold standard of skin light therapy.
IPL is one of the first devices that have an energy effect on the skin and has been in use since 1995, and it is the company Lumenis that is the world number 1 in IPL technology.
The Lumenis IPL that we use at the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic is the most scientifically researched IPL device with over 100 written scientific papers that confirm its effectiveness.
IPL (eng. Intense Pulsed Light) is an intense, short-lived light that is diffuse and, unlike lasers, is broad-spectrum, which means that IPL can target different pigments and parts of the skin and thus act on a number of diseases and conditions.
What makes Lumenis’ IPL different from others is the ability to use the so-called “cut off” filters.
These are filters that narrow down the choice of light depending on the treatment being done, that is, with regard to the goal we want to achieve. In this way, we act more safely and accurately on diseases and conditions that we treat and treat with IPL therapy.
IPL technology is based on the principle of using a wide spectrum of light to target specific areas of the skin. This light is absorbed by the pigment in the skin, resulting in heat energy that destroys the target cells.
In the context of aesthetic care, this may include treating pigmentation, removing hair, or reducing the visibility of capillaries.
IPL is ideal for treating larger areas of the body such as the arms, neck, décolleté and back.
The Lumenis IPL device uses advanced technology that sets it apart from a multitude of other devices on the market.
A key feature of Lumenis IPL is its ability to precisely target specific structures in the skin, allowing for a highly effective and safe treatment.
Basically, IPL uses highly controlled light pulses to selectively target specific cells or pigments in the skin. This selectivity makes it possible to minimize damage to the surrounding tissues, resulting in a faster recovery of the patient.
High Precision
The Lumenis IPL device uses patented technology that allows for high aiming accuracy. This means that the light pulses are precisely directed to the desired area of the skin and thus achieve impressive results in aesthetic treatments
Controllable power
A unique feature of the Lumenis IPL device is the controlled power of the pulse. This system allows the intensity of the light pulses to be adjusted according to the individual needs of the patient, providing a flexible and safe treatment.
Advanced cooling system
Some patients are concerned about the possibility of pain or discomfort during IPL treatment. Lumenis IPL devices have an integrated advanced cooling system that reduces discomfort during treatment, making it a more comfortable experience for patients.
Multifunctional Applicators
Lumenis IPL devices come with a variety of multifunctional applicators that allow you to treat a variety of skin concerns. This is especially useful because it provides flexibility in accessing different patients with different needs.
The use of certain light filters allows us to treat :
The Lumenis IPL device is one of the most innovative solutions in the field of aesthetic skin care. With the advancement of technology, it is Lumenis IPL that has become synonymous with top quality and results.
Vascular lesions encompass various changes in the skin, including dilated capillaries, veins, hemangiomas and other irregularities associated with blood vessels.
Hemangiomas are one of the most common forms of vascular lesions. These are formations that consist of blood vessels. On the skin, they usually manifest themselves in the form of red or purple bumps.
During IPL treatment, light rays absorb pigment in the blood, generating thermal energy. When removing vascular lesions, especially hemangiomas, the goal is to destroy abnormal blood vessels without damaging the surrounding tissues.
This is possible due to the selective targeting of only certain pigments during IPL light therapy. The controlled delivery of light pulses reduces discomfort and allows patients to recover quickly.
Telangiectasia are small dilated blood vessels that often look like red or blue lines on the surface of the skin. These vascular changes often occur due to genetics, sun exposure, aging, or other factors.
Although they are usually harmless, many patients opt for IPL treatment to remove dilated capillaries for aesthetic reasons.
The results of telangiectasia removal are noticeable after just one treatment. Multiple treatments may be required to completely remove dilated capillaries, depending on the depth and size of the vascular changes.
IPL treatments are generally well tolerated, and most patients describe them as painless. The procedure for removing hemangiomas with an IPL device is relatively quick and easy.
After treatment, patients can usually resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness of the skin or swelling is possible, but these side effects usually pass quickly.
Hyperpigmentation refers to changes in skin color such as freckles, melasma, or age spots. Hyperpigmentation is caused by excessive production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin.
The reasons for the appearance of hyperpigmentation can include sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, skin injuries or inflammatory processes.
Sun exposure can cause a variety of skin problems, including hyperpigmentation, age spots, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and other signs of premature aging.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation plays a key role in the damage of collagen and elastin, leading to a loss of skin tone.
When it comes to the consequences of sun exposure, IPL therapy works to remove pigmentation, stimulate collagen renewal and improve overall skin tone.
IPL treatment promotes skin regeneration by stimulating the formation of new cells and improving collagen structure which helps to heal damage caused by the sun, making the skin smoother and more elastic.
Age spots, which are often the result of long-term exposure to the sun, can also be effectively treated with IPL therapy. Light pulses target pigmented lesions, promoting their reduction and achieving an even skin tone.
When treating with an IPL device, we use a wide range of light pulses of different wavelengths to selectively target melanin in the skin. Light pulses pass through the surface of the skin and absorb melanin, causing it to break down.
IPL treatment to remove hyperpigmentation or damage caused by sun exposure begins with a consultation with a dermatologist who will examine your skin and determine the extent and type of hyperpigmentation.
Based on the information obtained, our experienced dermatologists individually adjust the treatment with the selection of a suitable filter on the IPL device.
IPL treatment can be applied to remove hyperpigmentation on all parts of the body where it occurs – face, hands, back, legs, arms.
To achieve the desired results, 1 to 3 treatments are usually required, depending on the extent of hyperpigmentation, i.e. the condition of the skin.
An additional advantage is that IPL treatments can be combined with other non-invasive cosmetic treatments that provide better results.
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions. They occur due to overactive sebaceous glands, usually during puberty, and disappear when hormonal changes stabilize.
According to available research, acne is estimated to affect 9.4% of the world’s population, making it the eighth most prevalent disease in the world.
However, acne problems can last for years and cause unwanted consequences such as scarring.
IPL treatments have proven to be extremely effective in treating this problem because it stimulates natural regeneration processes by acting in the deep layers of the skin.
Light pulses from IPL devices also have an antibacterial effect, i.e. they help reduce the number of bacteria on the skin, which prevents the appearance of new acne.
IPL therapy has an anti-inflammatory effect, contributes to the reduction of redness and swelling associated with acne inflammation.
When treating acne with IPL treatments, we usually use one of three different filters, i.e. wavelengths – 420 nm blue light, 560 nm yellow light and 590 nm red light.
Blue light acts on the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes , which is a common cause of acne. By reducing the number of bacteria, inflammation is reduced, redness is relieved and acne heals faster.
Yellow light has an anti-inflammatory effect and helps reduce redness. It also stimulates circulation and leads to a general improvement in the condition of the skin. It is often combined with other colors to achieve an optimal effect.
Red light stimulates collagen production, skin regeneration and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It helps to improve skin texture so it is often used in anti-aging skin treatments.
One of the key benefits of IPL therapy in treating acne scars is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a key protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity, and its increased production helps reduce scarring.
Light pulses from the IPL device target pigmentation in the scars, gradually lightening them and making them less visible.
Increased collagen production contributes to achieving a more even skin tone and improving the appearance of scars.
To achieve the best results, we personalize treatments depending on the skin type and severity of acne problems. We often choose a combination of different filters or wavelengths to ensure optimal results.
The main goal of LF Polyclinic is to improve the quality of life and health of our clients by providing them with top-notch healthcare services.
