The intense pulsed light treatment is a procedure lasting about 30 minutes in which pulses of intense light (IPL) are used to penetrate under the skin. Also called photorejuvenation, the intense pulsed light treatment causes narrowing of blood vessels and collagen, reducing wrinkles and redness. The procedure involves only a small annoyance, while redness and small bruises sometimes appear, they go away shortly after the session. The benefits of pulsed light  gradually become visible during the weeks of treatment.

The contraindications of the pulsed light is not a major impediment to exploiting its effect and to obtain satisfactory results. Contraindications are indeed mainly related to pregnancy, open wounds, skin cancer or very pronounced scars. If you are honest with your doctor about any health related issue you have or had in the past, there will be no complications.

Side effects of pulsed light are light and will resolve themselves within hours or days. The most common side effect is redness of the face. The small capillaries in fact may appear more conspicuously after treatment, but do not worry, it’s a common thing that goes away immediately. Small bruises rarely form, but these will also disappear in a few days. Permanent effects caused by pulsed light are also very rare. Blistering, bleeding, scarring or hypo / hyper pigmentation have also been reported in very few cases.

The benefits of pulsed light cover almost the entire spectrum of cosmetic dermatology and may be helpful for almost all cases of blemishes.

• Pulsed light  can repair blood vessels that have become visible
• It can help fighhting acne
• Facial intense pulsed light treatments are also excellent treatments for rosacea and redness of the skin
• The skin rejuvenation stimulates collagen production to repair minor skin problems and improve the tissues of the epidermis

Since the pulsed light treatment interacts with the deep layers of the skin, it can be used effectively with other treatments such as dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, peeling (chemical and not) and fractionated laser that acts instead on the first layer of the skin, the epidermis.

Put simply, natural skin care is caring for your skin in a natural and chemical-free way. Natural skin care advocates enabling the skin to take care of itself (without any assistance from synthetic materials/ chemicals). Natural skin care is about inculcation of good habits in the way you lead your day to day life. A lot of natural skin care measures are actually the same as those for body care in general. Natural care ensures that the skin is free from both wrinkles and other blemishes of the skin.

So lets see what these natural skin care measures are.

Drinking a lot of water is the basic stepping stone towards attaining an internal harmony of the body. Drinking water can easily revitalize your skin. Around eight glasses of water daily would mean that you are flushing out the impurities and revitalizing the skin pores.

General cleanliness is another inexpensive way of natural skin care. Daily shower, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on a clean mattress/pillow are all part of general cleanliness. After all, clean skin is the key to keeping the skin disorders at bay.

Exercise is the most essential element in the daily regime, it increases the flow of blood that helps in getting rid of body toxins and keeping you healthy. Exercise also helps in beating stress which is the worst enemy of good health and skin.

Healthy diet is also a pre requisite of a very good skin texture. A balanced diet chart is the most important prerequisite to stay fit. Eating habits also have its impact on the skin chewing the food properly and avoiding oily stuff is the basic prerequisite of healthy skin.

A very obvious measure to avoid wrinkles and dark circles is to have a very good sleep. A good sleep is also instrumental in maintaining good health and in beating stress.

Beating stress is another natural skin care therapy. Stress causes overall damage to body and health. Drinking a lot of water, getting a sound sleep and exercise has already been mentioned as stress busters. Indulging in a warm bubble bath, listening to music and playing your favourite sport are also good ways of beating stress. Yoga is yet another way of beating stress; it is fast gaining popularity amongst the masses.

Try to avoid over exposure to the sun, the UV rays are always detrimental for the health oof the skin. UV rays has a straight impact on the basic texture of the skin. Thus it is very important that one protect the body and skin from the sun rays especially when they are outdoors.

A lot of traditional and home made natural skin care products/ measures are also known to be very effective. Such measures are not only natural and easy-to-follow, but also relatively inexpensive.
