Photorejuvenation
101
Photorejuvenation is a comprehensive approach to improving the appearance and health of the skin. The goal of photorejuvenation is to stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and create a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Wavelength Specificity is Crucial
Intense Pulsed Light (or IPL for short) is one of the most commonly used photorejuvenation technology today. Unlike monochromatic lasers which consist of a single wavelength, IPL is considered polychromatic because it consists of a range of wavelengths, including blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and near-infra red lights. Since every wavelength can target different lesions at different depths in your skin, it is essential to select the most appropriate wavelength for the treatment. The Alpha system utilizes a variety of IPL filters and applicators to allow practitioners specify the treatment outcome and optimize your results. Whether you are concerned about acne, pigmented spots, broken capillaries, laxity, or facial hair, the Alpha has the right solution for you that is both safe and effective.

Skin cooling is an essential safety feature during IPL treatments. Contact cooling helps to protect the skin from burns and reduces treatment discomfort. However, too much cooling can sometimes hinder treatment results, because overcooling causes vasoconstriction (i.e. narrowing of blood vessels), limiting blood flow to the area and reducing target chromophore levels. The Alpha is the only IPL system in the world equipped with 3D IPL Technology, allowing professionals to control not only the pulse power & duration, but also the cooling intensity. The operator can adjust skin cooling temperatures according to your personal tolerance and treatment goals, enhancing treatment efficacy without compromising safety and comfort. In other words, the Alpha’s 3D IPL technology adds a 3rd dimension of treatment customization that improves your results while keeping you comfy and safe.

Similar to laser hair removal, IPL treatments require careful examination of your melanin levels and skin tone to make sure the selected parameters are both safe and effective. If the parameters are too mild for your skin, the treatment won’t achieve the desired result. But if the parameters are too high, you may end up with unnecessary and preventable skin damage. With Milo, our digital melanin reader, we can objectively and precisely measure your melanin content in the area prior to treatment, allowing the Alpha to automatically adjust itself and ensuring the selected parameters are optimized for your specific skin tone. In other words, the Milo guarantees optimal results with minimal risk of unwanted side effects.

3D IPL Contact Cooling Control
Contact cooling is essential for protecting your skin during your 3D IPL treatment. However, overcooling (or too aggressive cooling), which is commonly used by other IPL devices, may hinder energy delivery to your skin and diminish the end result.
Alpha’s advanced contact cooling control allows your practitioner to achieve the perfect balance between protecting your skin and avoiding overcooling. This means your treatment will be more effective, safe, and comfortable! Plus, more effective interaction with the skin means more results in fewer sessions.
Overcooling could shrink blood vessels, reducing the amount of blood in the area and massively reducing treatment effectiveness. Alpha’s advanced contact cooling control avoids exactly that!
Alpha maintains normal blood flow during the treatment, resulting in higher treatment efficacy
Personalized Photorejuvenation
Before any treatment, your skin needs a precise evaluation to determine the best parameters and optimize the treatment protocol. Inadequate evaluation can lead to improper settings and subpar results. With Milo, the melanin reader, your Alpha practitioner can scientifically assess your skin’s needs, ensuring every treatment is safe and highly effective.
