Statement of principle

The instrument adopts international advanced photonic cosmetic IPL photonic technology, which directly irradiates the skin with strong pulsed light to produce photobiochemical effect. On one hand, it can make the collagen fiber and elastic fiber of skin regenerate, restore skin elasticity, and improve facial microcirculation and eliminate or lighten wrinkles. On the other hand, strong pulsed light can penetrate into the skin and be selectively absorbed by pigmented mass and capillaries in the tissue under the premise of not destroying normal skin tissue, thermal energy makes blood coagulation and pigmented mass destroyed by thermal decomposition, serve to treat capillary dilatation, remove color spots, and remove excess hair.
