The Fountain of Youth...Light

March 19, 2009 - PRLog -- PITTSBURGH- The Youth Light (available at ESSpa) is a revolutionary photo rejuvenation system that can be commonly referred to as IPL (Intense Pulse Light) therapy.  What exactly is IPL?  IPL is the most advanced and non-invasive skin resurfacing technique that improves the superficial layer of the skin and the production of collagen.  The photo rejuvenation system pulses visible therapeutic light over many wavelengths that deliver energy to all layers of the skin.

Photo rejuvenation treats and reduces conditions such as: redness, broken capillaries, uneven pigmentation, brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, large pores, inflammation, rough skin, and in some cases, unwanted facial hair.

It has been scientifically found that our skin cells are actually photoreceptive.  What does this mean?  IPL is a very safe, heated, and pulsed light therapy that is absorbed by uneven color pigments in the skin.  Pigmented problem areas will soon lighten and disappear, leaving a smooth and clear patch of skin.  After a single 20-30 minute treatment, each guest will see immediate results.  It is recommended that each guest receives 4 to 6 treatments spread out within 14 to 21 day intervals for optimal results. (This is the time when your cells regenerate)

The IPL system also has many other benefits.  It increases the production of collagen and elastin within skin cells.  As skin cells are heated by the pulsed light, collagen and elastin production starts to activate and come to the surface to fill fine lines and wrinkles.  IPL also increases blood circulation and oxygenation which aids in hydrated, clearer skin.  

The Benefits

You can have the treatment during your lunch and then go back to work.
No pain or recovery time.
Improvements are gradual and natural.
IPL is affordable.
The average person usually sees a 75 to 90% improvement after following the 4 to 6 treatment regimen.
IPL is conveniently offered at ESSpa Kozmetika.

The Youth Light is one of the few therapy systems that can work on people taking Retin A or Accutane.  It can compliment microdermabrasion, along with any other types of cosmetic treatments such as Botox, Collagen injections, laser therapy and previous plastic surgery.  The Youth Light 2010 can be used on the face, neck, ears, and even other parts of the body like the hands.  Light therapy on the hands may take a bit longer compared to other parts but that is because it is mostly made up of cartilage and bones.

Eva Sztupka Kerschbaumer, owner and Hungarian skincare expert of ESSpa had this to say about the YouthLight 2010.  “IPL therapy is helpful for about 90% of the population.  We all know that there isn’t just one single treatment, machine, or therapy that will work on everyone.  With that reality, it is still pretty impressive that IPL can accommodate that percentage of people.  It is great for those looking for a non-invasive, non-ablative, solution with no down time.  The Youth Light 2010 is an inexpensive solution to certain skin conditions as compared with invasive plastic surgery and lasers.  The Youth Light can be used on all types and textures of skin.  Come into ESSpa and try the newest form of skin improvements.”
