Photorejuvenation with Alma IPL
The Science of Light for Radiant, Even, and Youthful Skin
At Foreviva Medical, we bring science and artistry together through Photorejuvenation with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) by Alma, one of the most advanced light technologies in medical aesthetics.
This treatment uses the science of selective photothermolysis, which targets pigment and vascular irregularities with precision. Each pulse of light energy is absorbed by melanin and hemoglobin, converting into gentle heat that breaks down discoloration and visible vessels while sparing surrounding tissue.
Your body then clears these damaged cells naturally, leaving behind skin that looks clearer, smoother, and more radiant. At the same time, the controlled heat triggers fibroblasts to create new collagen and elastin, rebuilding the skin’s structure and restoring firmness.
How Alma IPL Technology Works
The Alma IPL platform represents the latest evolution in photorejuvenation science. It delivers multiple wavelengths of light in precise, uniform pulses that can treat several skin concerns at once.
Scientific advantages of Alma IPL include:
- Advanced wavelength control that selectively targets pigment and redness with maximum accuracy.
- Contact cooling that protects the skin’s surface while allowing deeper, more effective energy delivery.
- Consistent energy distribution that prevents uneven heating and ensures uniform results.
- Multiple pulse modes that gradually heat the tissue for greater collagen stimulation with minimal risk.
This technology allows our providers to safely and comfortably correct discoloration, redness, and textural concerns in one highly effective treatment.
Why Photorejuvenation Works So Well
Photorejuvenation is not a surface-level treatment. It works within the deeper layers of the skin to trigger real biological change. When light energy is absorbed, it creates a mild thermal response that accelerates cell turnover, improves oxygenation, and activates the production of new collagen fibers. This process rebuilds and strengthens the dermis over time, leading to visibly firmer, smoother, and more balanced skin. Clinical research has shown that a series of IPL sessions can significantly reduce melanin density, improve skin elasticity, and enhance microcirculation. At Foreviva you can expect brighter and more even tone, fewer sunspots and age spots, reduction in redness and so much more.
Scientific Benefits You Can See and Feel
Every aspect of IPL is supported by measurable science. The wavelengths of light used by Alma precisely target chromophores in the skin, reducing pigmentation while promoting regeneration at the cellular level.
The heat delivered during treatment activates genes responsible for collagen synthesis and tissue repair. As new collagen fibers form and reorganize, your skin gains firmness, resilience, and a natural glow that cannot be achieved with topical products alone.
What you will notice after your sessions:
- Immediate brightening and smoother texture
- Gradual fading of spots and redness
- A visible increase in radiance
- Ongoing improvement in tone and firmness
- A clearer, healthier complexion overall
Most patients see visible changes after the first treatment, with dramatic transformation after a full series.
The Treatment Process
During your session
Your treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment to determine the best wavelength settings for your complexion and goals.
During your session:
- A cooling gel is applied to the treatment area.
- Protective eyewear is provided for safety.
- The Alma handpiece delivers gentle pulses of light that feel like quick, warm flashes.
Most treatments take about thirty minutes. The procedure is comfortable, and no anesthesia is required. Afterward, you may experience a light pink flush that fades within a few hours. Pigmented areas may darken briefly before flaking away, revealing new, healthy skin.
You can return to normal activities immediately after your visit.
Aftercare and Longevity of Results
After your treatment, it is important to protect your new collagen and healthy skin with mindful care.
We recommend:
- Applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Avoiding direct sun exposure for several days.
- Using medical-grade skincare from Alastin or Epionce.
- Scheduling a maintenance IPL session every four to six months to preserve your glow.
With consistent care, your results will continue to improve and last for many months, keeping your skin radiant and youthful.
