Now you can safely and quickly fade age spots, spider veins, rosacea, and blotchy skin due to sun damage with the revolutionary IPL technology. It combines radio frequency and light energies to gently and precisely target problem areas. The end result is clearer, more youthful-looking skin. To ensure the best possible results we follow a 5 -step tailored plan:

IPL Plan (for best results):

• IPL consult and test patch (this is not only crucial for safety but also to treat you at an optimal level for best results)
• One month later - 1st IPL treatment
• One month later - 2nd IPL treatment
• One month later - 3rd IPL treatment

IPL FAQ's

What to expect after an IPL treatment.?

Some of your age spots and pigmentation will darken. After around 7-10 days these darkened spots will flake off leaving a clearer, more youthful appearance. Skin will appear more luminous after 10 days and redness will reduce between 4-6 weeks.

How quickly does IPL work.?

You will often see significant change after just one treatment. Over the course of 2-5 treatment sessions, most people see a gradual and continual improvement of their skin tone. The total number of required sessions varies depending on the condition of your skin. During your initial light consultation, your nurse or Advanced Skin Therapist will recommend a schedule for maximum results.

Does IPL hurt.?

Individual experience varies. Some people describe the sensation as uncomfortable & like the flicking of a rubber band.

Is IPL safe.?

Treatment is safe and effective for light to olive colored skin types. (Type I II III IV)

How long does IPL take.?

Generally, after your consultation, each procedure takes around 30 – 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated.

Can your skin get burnt during IPL.?

Our Advanced Skin Therapists always do a test patch prior to any treatment to determine the best settings for your skin and reduce the risk of any side effects. Expect to have a patch test at your initial consultation, and return for treatment a week or so later. Winter is a great time to have IPL treatments, as you should be out of the sun a month prior to and after treatment. This is because sun exposure can increase the risk of side effects or pigment coming back. You should wear your recommended sun protection every day and keep out of direct sun.
