What is skin aging?What is skin aging?

• Collagen production slows (skin gets Collagen production slows (skin gets thinner)thinner)

• Elastin fibers break down (skin Elastin fibers break down (skin loses its ability to snap back after loses its ability to snap back after stretching)stretching)

• Subcutaneous fat decreases (skin Subcutaneous fat decreases (skin looks less plump and smooth)looks less plump and smooth)

• Turnover of skin cells slows downTurnover of skin cells slows down• Skin becomes dryerSkin becomes dryer

What causes skin to What causes skin to age?age?

• Sun (ultraviolet light)—damages elastin Sun (ultraviolet light)—damages elastin and collagen fibers, causing wrinkles, and collagen fibers, causing wrinkles, and producing mottling and brown spotsand producing mottling and brown spots

• Cigarette smoking—damages elastin and Cigarette smoking—damages elastin and decreases blood flow to skindecreases blood flow to skin

• Gravity—pulls on our bodies and with loss Gravity—pulls on our bodies and with loss of elastin and collagen, causes sagging of elastin and collagen, causes sagging

Intense Pulsed Intense Pulsed LightLight

Intense Pulsed Light uses Intense Pulsed Light uses different wavelengths of light different wavelengths of light to target “broken” blood to target “broken” blood vessels and superficial brown vessels and superficial brown spots. The light energy is spots. The light energy is changed to heat energy, which changed to heat energy, which gradually fades the targeted gradually fades the targeted pigment or vessels. pigment or vessels.
