IPL Photorejuvenation (Anthelia)

Full-face light rejuvenation on the medical-grade IPL Anthelia platform (Eurofeedback, France — holder of 15 international patents) at AMEM Zlín. Calibrated pulses of intense light pass through the skin surface and are absorbed in the dermis, where the controlled thermal stimulus triggers fibroblasts to produce new collagen while simultaneously fading sun-induced pigment spots and diffuse redness. Over a course of sessions skin tone evens, pores and fine lines soften, and the skin regains density and glow — with no needles and essentially no downtime beyond transient warmth and mild redness. Available for face, neck and décolleté in combinations up to the full 4,100 Kč triple zone.

Photorejuvenation is the workhorse of non-invasive skin renewal: a single technology that addresses the three visible signatures of skin ageing — pigment unevenness, vascular redness and collagen loss — in one treatment. **The device:** AMEM uses the IPL Anthelia by Eurofeedback, a French medical-grade intense pulsed light platform protected by 15 world patents and used across the clinic's light-based menu. Medical IPL differs meaningfully from cosmetic-salon IPL in pulse energy, filtration precision and cooling — allowing effective dermal stimulation with epidermal safety. **How it works:** Broad-spectrum light pulses are filtered to wavelengths absorbed by three chromophores: melanin (pigment spots darken, lift to the surface and flake away over ~1–2 weeks), haemoglobin (fine vessels and diffuse redness coagulate and fade), and dermal water/collagen (gentle bulk heating of the dermis triggers a wound-healing response — fibroblast activation and neocollagenesis — that firms and thickens skin over the following 4–12 weeks). **What to expect:** Treatment feels like warm snaps against the skin; a session for the face takes around 20–30 minutes (longer with neck and décolleté). Skin may be flushed for a few hours; pigment spots typically darken before flaking off — this is the treatment working. Makeup is usually possible the next day. **The course:** 3–5 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart produce the cumulative collagen response; maintenance once or twice a year preserves it. The décolleté combination (face + neck + décolleté, 4,100 Kč) is popular for clients whose sun damage extends below the jawline — a giveaway zone conventional facials ignore. **Contraindications:** fresh tan or active self-tanner, photosensitising medication (including some antibiotics and retinoids), pregnancy, epilepsy triggered by light, active skin infection, and very dark phototypes require assessment. Strict SPF 50 is required for 4 weeks after each session.
