IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It improves your skin by removing red veins and brown pigment with concentrated light. Multiple IPL treatments also stimulate collagen and skin smoothness.
This treatment is used to rejuvenate skin anywhere on the body, though the areas that people most commonly need treated are on their face, neck, décolletage and hands.
Most people get 60-90% improvement after a course of treatment. Brown pigment and red veins take 1-3 treatments and rosacea takes about 3.
Unfortunately, a small number of people don’t respond to treatment which can’t be predicted beforehand.
Treatment can improve current veins and pigment but does not prevent new blemishes developing in future. We can recommend skincare products to help your treatment results last longer.
Treatment feels like a quick, hot sting. We use special cooling techniques to maximise your comfort during treatment.
Appointments take 15-45 minutes depending on the size of the area to be treated. Usually appointments are 3-6 weeks apart.
If it is the first time you are seeing us for our skin treatments, or it has been more than 12 months since your last visit, you are required to book a cosmetic consultation with one of our Advanced Skin Therapists. See more about cosmetic consultations here.
Our Advanced Skin Therapists will guide you through a comprehensive 30-minute cosmetic consultation, to understand your individual needs and desires.
Sometimes only one type of treatment may be recommended, or we may suggest a combination of treatments to achieve the skin improvement you are looking for. Either way, you will know that the advice we offer you is customised just for your needs.
* The consultation fee with an Advanced Skin Therapist is redeemable off your first treatment or used towards any product purchase in clinic.
