In the medical beauty circle, photorejuvenation is a "star project" and is regarded by many as a panacea for skin problems. However, it seems familiar, but it actually hides many "mysteries". I believe that many sisters who love beauty have doubts in their hearts: How does photorejuvenation achieve skin rejuvenation? What do those professional terms IPL, BBL, AOPT, OPT, and DPL stand for? Don't worry, in the next few minutes, we will explore the secrets of photorejuvenation and unveil its mysterious veil.

What is Photorejuvenation?

● Photorejuvenation is also known as "intense pulsed light technology", that is, Intense Pulsed Light, also referred to as IPL. It is different from laser. Laser has only one wavelength, while IPL is a continuous multi-wavelength incoherent light with a wavelength range of 400-1200nm. Since it can emit multiple wavelengths of light at the same time, it can cover multiple absorption peaks of multiple target color bases such as melanin, oxidized hemoglobin, water, etc.

● Because of its wide band coverage, IPL can do the work of several lasers. It can penetrate deep into the skin, selectively act on subcutaneous pigments, blood vessels and hair follicles, decompose spots, close abnormal red blood filaments, coagulate hair follicle units, and repair various blemishes on the skin. At the same time, photons can also stimulate the proliferation of subcutaneous collagen and reorganize the original collagen tissue.

How to choose among BBL, AOPT, OPT and DPL?

BBL: full name ForeverYoungBroad Band Light, also known as BB light, precise photon energy directly hits spots, large pores, wrinkles, red blood, acne scars, facial sagging and other skin blemishes. BB light is superior to traditional photon rejuvenation in that the intelligent sub-pulse technology (increasing the number of pulses, extending the total pulse width, increasing energy output, etc.) makes the energy at the lowest effective value. The key point is that it is the least painful photon rejuvenation project at present, and it can be used as the first choice for treatment of people who are sensitive to pain, and the sliding method is particularly comfortable.

OPT: (Fifth Generation Photon) is the full name of optimal pulse technology, with a wavelength between 500-1200nm and 515/560/590/615/640/690 filters. It eliminates the energy peak of the treatment energy, which means that the treatment energy is safer and reduces side effects during treatment. The M22 ResurFX Crown of Kings adds the ResurFX non-ablative fractional module, which becomes AOPT after software upgrade. To put it bluntly: it is now AOPT.

AOPT: On the basis of OPT, two filters, ance/vascular, are added to treat inflammatory acne and remove redness more specifically. At the same time, in AOPT mode, the energy of each sub-pulse can be adjusted, making the treatment more accurate and effective. In the hands of highly skilled professionals, this device has more flexible adjustable parameters and more options. At the same time, it requires higher professionalism from the operator.

Many people are interested in the question: Doctor, can you change a few filters for me? Is it a full mode? In fact, there is no such saying from a professional perspective. These are all marketing rhetoric from some institutions. Because when we treat, we generally choose different filters according to the patient's skin type (such as white or black skin color), skin problems (stains, red blood, large pores, rough skin texture, whether hair removal is needed, etc.). So as to comprehensively improve various skin problems during treatment.

DPL: Delicate Pulse Light, also known as precise pulse light, narrow spectrum pulse light, wavelength compressed to 500-600nm (redness removal), 550-650nm (darkness removal). The new generation of black gold super photon now introduced perfectly combines sliding skin rejuvenation technology with DPL technology, which greatly improves the treatment comfort and can more efficiently solve vascular problems (red blood streaks, facial flushing, acne marks), pigmentary problems (spots, dark complexion, uneven skin color) and skin rejuvenation, pore improvement and other problems. A new balance is achieved in terms of effect, safety and comfort.

Fennbeauty reminds that the effect of photon therapy varies from person to person, and the effect of treatment also depends on the following factors:

① It is recommended that everyone try to choose professional, trusted, qualified and experienced doctors for treatment, and do not easily believe in some untrue or exaggerated advertisements;

② The photon instruments on the market vary greatly. Instruments produced by informal manufacturers not only have poor energy stability, but also have corresponding discounts in treatment effects, and the incidence of side effects may be slightly higher. It is recommended to choose well-known brands or imported machines for treatment.

③ If you have more skin problems, after treatment, the comparison before and after treatment is more obvious, and you may feel that the effect is better. But in fact, photon rejuvenation can be used as a basic, daily maintenance project for those with good skin foundation.
