IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Does your skin suffer from sun damage or uneven skin tone? Do you have pigmentation that just won't go away? Do you suffer with broken vessels (capillaries) on the face or rosacea? Do you have acne?
Treatment & Results
- IPL is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that utilises Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to address various skin concerns. IPL emits multiple wavelengths of light that penetrates the skin and target pigmented cells, acne, collagen and/or blood vessels, depending on the concern being treated. The heats generated by the light damages the targeted cells which are naturally removed by the body while stimulating collagen production, leading to clearer, youthful and even toned skin.

FAQs
Q: What areas can be treated?
A: Almost all parts of the body are suitable for light based skin treatments. Most common areas we treat are the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
Q: What’s the difference between Laser and IPL?
A: Admittedly it’s a little confusing. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and these machines aren’t lasers. IPL machines are termed ‘broad spectrum’ because they deliver many wavelengths of light to the skin at once. Lasers, on the other hand, deliver just one specific wavelength, making IPL superior in its ability to treat a number of different skin concerns simultaneously.
Q: What happens during treatment?
A: Firstly, you'll be provided with safety protective eyewear. Whilst they may not lift your game style, they will protect your precious eyes from the light. Your therapist will then pass the IPL over the area to be treated.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Some slight discomfort can be felt during the procedure. It is very minimal and tolerable, but rest assured the sensation won't last long. Generally feels no more painful than a warm prickling on the skin. And of course, it will depend on your pain tolerance and your skin sensitivity at the time of treatment.
Q: How long does the treatment take?
A: Relatively quick, approximately 15 - 45 minutes depending on the size and number of areas to be treated on the day
