What does IPL treat?
IPL, or intense pulsed light, is a versatile treatment that can improve a range of skin conditions including:
-
Brown Spots

Broken Capillaries

Bruises
-
Redness
-
Rosacea
-
Fine lines
-
Acne scars
IPL can address these skin conditions on face, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs.
What happens during an IPL treatment?
An IPL device delivers an arc of light energy that penetrates all levels of the skin, without harming the surface, so there’s little downtime.
When it’s time for your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and then an ultrasound gel applied. Both you and your aesthetician will wear protective eye wear. The IPL device will be held and moving against your skin while light pulses are emitted.
The length of treatment depends on the size of the area, but it typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. After the treatment, ultrasonic gel is removed and sunscreen is applied.
How many treatments do you need?
We recommend doing a series of 3 treatments 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results, although you will see results with 1 treatment.
Things to avoid before your treatment
Sun exposure or tanning.
