IPL Treatments

We recommend 3-6 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, for the best results. This will depend on your skin type and the concern being treated, and will be determined during consultation.

Most clients experience only a mild discomfort during treatment, described as a sensation like a rubber band snap. The treatment is generally very well-tolerated.

IPL is generally most effective on lighter skin types due to the way light is absorbed by melanin. It may not be suitable for darker skin tones, as the increased melanin can lead to a higher risk of pigmentation changes or burns. During your consultation, we will assess your skin type and determine the best treatment options for you.

While IPL provides long-lasting results, maintenance treatments may be required periodically to keep your skin looking its best, especially for conditions like rosacea or acne.

Many clients notice improvements after their first treatment, such as brighter skin or reduced redness. However, the best results develop gradually over a full course as the skin responds and renews. For rosacea , for example, results usually appear after 3-4 sessions (a course of 6 is recommended for best results)

Yes — IPL can be combined with treatments such as facials, LED phototherapy, or microneedling to enhance results. We’ll guide you on the safest and most effective combinations during your consultation.

Not quite. Both use light-based technology, but IPL uses broad-spectrum light while laser uses a single wavelength. This means IPL can treat multiple concerns at once, making it versatile for skin rejuvenation and pigmentation.

IPL can noticeably lighten sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone by targeting excess melanin in the skin. Most clients see a significant improvement, though results vary depending on the type and depth of pigmentation. While IPL often reduces pigmentation dramatically, it may not remove it completely, and some concerns (like melasma) are better treated with other methods. We’ll guide you at consultation on the best approach for your skin.

IPL can safely and effectively reduce the appearance of thread veins by targeting the blood vessels beneath the skin. Many clients see a noticeable improvement after just a few sessions, as the vessels gradually fade. However, results can vary depending on the size, depth, and number of veins, and new ones may develop over time. Regular maintenance or top-up treatments may be recommended to keep your skin clear.
