Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt)

IPL uses broad-spectrum light energy to target and eliminate skin concerns caused by sun damage, aging, vascular issues, and unwanted hair. Unlike laser (which uses a single wavelength), IPL delivers multiple wavelengths simultaneously, making it ideal for treating a wide range of skin and hair concerns with minimal downtime.

IPL light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by melanin (pigment in both skin blemishes and hair follicles) and hemoglobin (blood vessels). This energy heats and destroys problem cells and hair follicles while stimulating collagen production, revealing clearer, more radiant, hair-free skin beneath.

Skin Concerns:

• Sun spots and age spots
• Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
• Redness and rosacea
• Broken capillaries and spider veins
• Facial redness and flushing
• Freckles and sun damage
• Dull, tired-looking skin

Hair Removal:

• Unwanted facial hair
• Body hair (arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, back)
• Coarse or dark hair (most effective on darker hair, lighter skin)
• Permanent hair reduction (not permanent removal)

• Visible results after one session with progressive improvement after each treatment
• Minimal downtime — 1-3 days mild redness; makeup can be worn next day
• Safe for most skin types when properly calibrated
• Cumulative results — collagen stimulation continues for months after treatment
• Long-lasting — skin results persist 12-18 months; hair stays gone 6-12 months with maintenance
• No needles, no injections — comfortable, non-invasive treatment
• Dual benefit — address skin concerns and remove unwanted hair simultaneously

• Duration: 30-45 minutes (varies by treatment area size
• Recommended series:
  • Skin rejuvenation: 3-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart
  • Hair removal: 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results
• Sensation: Warm snapping sensation, like a rubber band; generally well-tolerated
• Recovery: Return to normal activities immediately; avoid direct sun and strenuous exercise for 48 hours

Skin: Brighter, more even-toned skin with faded pigmentation, reduced redness, and a renewed glow. Over time, skin texture improves and fine lines soften as collagen rebuilds.

Hair: Progressive hair thinning after each session, with finer, lighter regrowth. Most clients see 60-80% permanent hair reduction after completing a full treatment series, with maintenance sessions every 6-12 months to manage any remaining or new growth.
