Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Pigmentation Treatment

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses controlled bursts of light to target specific pigments (melanin) and vascular (haemaglobin) concerns within the skin.

It can be used to address visible signs of sun exposure and ageing, helping to improve the overall appearance and evenness of your skin tone.

IPL is particularly effective for concerns associated with pigmentation, sun exposure and facial redness.

Treatment can help improve the appearance of:

• Sun damage

• Freckles

• Age spots

• Brown spots

• Sunspots

• Facial redness

• Facial veins

Popular treatment areas include the face, neck, arms and décolletage.

IPL delivers controlled pulses of light to the skin. Different wavelengths of light are absorbed by targeted pigments or chromophores, either pigment or blood vessels, allowing the treatment to focus on specific areas of concern.

Over a series of treatments, this can help create a more even-looking complexion and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and redness.

During treatment, you may experience a mild pinching or snapping sensation as the light pulses are delivered.

Most clients tolerate the treatment well and local anaesthetic is not typically required. For more sensitive areas, a topical anaesthetic may be considered where appropriate.

Treatment time varies depending on the area being treated.

Most IPL treatments take less than 30 minutes, making it an easy treatment to incorporate into your routine.

IPL requires minimal downtime, although your skin may look different immediately following treatment.

Pigmented areas may temporarily appear darker as the targeted pigment responds to the treatment. Some clients may also experience mild swelling.

Most clients can return to their normal activities; however, your skin will require some additional care while it settles.

Many clients see visible improvement after three to four treatments.

The number of treatments required will depend on your skin, the area being treated and the level of pigmentation, sun damage or vascular concerns present.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual concerns and desired outcome.

Results develop progressively as the treated skin settles.

You may notice a clearer, more even-looking complexion following your treatment, with further improvement developing over subsequent sessions.

Your results will depend on your individual skin concerns, level of sun damage and response to treatment.

IPL is not suitable for everyone, and the appropriate treatment will depend on your individual skin type, concerns and medical history.

A consultation allows us to assess your skin, discuss your goals and determine whether IPL is the right treatment for you.

For the best possible outcome, appropriate preparation and aftercare are important.

We require you to be on a cosmeceutical grade Tyrosinase Inhibitor serum prior to any pigmentation treatment for at least two weeks prior.

Avoid sun exposure for the recommended period before treatment and follow your individual aftercare instructions carefully.

Following treatment, you may be advised to avoid:

• Direct sun exposure

• Exercise for 24–48 hours

• Hot tubs and excessive heat until the treated area has healed

Your Registered Nurse will provide personalised pre-and post-treatment guidance based on your skin and treatment plan.

Yes. For some clients, we may recommend combining IPL with Laser Genesis to address multiple skin concerns and optimise the overall result.
