IPL
IPL is a light based procedure that is excellent for skin colour improvement, treating brown pigmentation caused by sun damage, red veins, rosacea and can be used to stimulate collagen.
Skin Institute’s expert team can use the treatment to rejuvenate skin anywhere on the body, though the areas that people most commonly need treated are on their face, neck, chest and hands.
Typically, 1-3 treatments are required, however, can vary up to 6 treatments depending on your skin condition and the desired results.

IPL for Sun Damage IPL is a powerful treatment for sun damage, including the reduction of brown pigment spots caused by sun exposure over the years, and fading broken veins and red blood vessels. Commonly treated areas are the face, neck, chest and hands. The result: your skin appears clearer and cleaner, reflecting light more easily. A pleasant bonus to IPL is a slight enhancement in collagen production with each treatment. After a course of IPL, you may also notice improved skin texture or reduced pore size. IPL for sun damage combines extremely well with Botox® for wrinkles and dermal fillers for facial contour. Studies show combining treatments may cause a synergistic effect, giving more improvement than expected. IPL for Rosacea IPL is an excellent treatment for rosacea, reducing facial veins for a reduction in flushing. We recommend that severe rosacea sufferers see one our expert dermatologists first, for a full treatment plan that may include medication and skin care. How does IPL work? IPL treatment uses concentrated light to heat brown pigment and red veins more than the surrounding skin, reducing these blemishes without breaking the surface if the skin. The more your skin has been protected from the sun, the stronger treatment we can give. We can’t treat tanned skin due to the risk of burns, so if you’re considering IPL, start using a zinc based sunscreen daily. Who shouldn't have IPL? IPL should not be used in Skin Type IV and over, as it risks causing burns and brown discolouration of the skin. You should also avoid IPL if:
Hormonal brown pigment, called melasma, should not be treated with IPL, as it may be exacerbated. Additional treatment information How long does treatment take? What do I look like afterwards? Does it hurt? Easy Ways to Pay There are now easy ways to pay for your treatments.
