What are the side effects of intense pulsed light

In life, many women pay more attention to their appearance and skin, especially in the aspect of beauty, many women will spend more time and energy on it. There are many beauty products and beauty methods now, and many beauty institutions have launched various beauty projects. Intense pulsed light is one of them. Using this technology can make women's skin whiter and has a better effect on removing spots.

The principle of intense pulsed light skin care

1. Intense pulsed light uses multiple spectra to work together in the deep layers of the skin. The melanin, hemoglobin, water, etc. in the skin selectively absorb lasers of different wavelengths, thereby achieving the effect of eliminating skin lesions.

2. Intense pulsed light photothermal and photochemical effects on the skin produce thermal stimulation to collagen and elastin, causing collagen and elastic fibers to regenerate, reorganize and repair, improving skin microcirculation and metabolic processes, and restoring the skin to a youthful state.

3. The photothermal and photochemical effects of a specific spectrum can kill Propionibacterium, achieving the effects of sterilization, acne removal and acne elimination.

4. The selective effect of light penetrates deep into the roots of hair follicles, selectively destroying the melanin and hair-growing cells in the hair follicles, thereby achieving the effect of hair removal.

5. While tightening the skin and shrinking pores, it can effectively regulate and inhibit sebaceous glands, remove "blackheads" and "whiteheads" and improve oily skin.

What are the side effects of intense pulsed light?

1. Pain, redness, swelling, peeling, blisters, scabs, skin pigmentation, and even permanent scars during treatment are all possible side effects of pulsed light therapy.

2. Although the output of pulsed light is relatively gentle, the skin is usually not damaged. There is only slight redness and swelling after the operation, and it is easy to care for. However, the combined energy of pulsed light and various light waves is six to eight times stronger than laser. Improper use can cause greater harm and can still cause skin burns, damage and leave scars.

3. In addition to paying attention to the precautions before and after the pulse light treatment, choosing a doctor is also an important step. Because pulse light is a wavelength of light, unlike laser which has a specific wavelength, it is more complicated to use and has many parameters. The doctor needs to have considerable experience to show the cosmetic effect of pulse light.
