IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial
What is
IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive, light-based treatment that delivers controlled pulses of light at multiple wavelengths. It can help improve the appearance of pigmentation and vascular concerns—such as sun spots, freckles, redness, and uneven tone—by targeting specific colour in the skin. Many patients notice a brighter, more even-looking complexion over time, although results and the number of sessions needed vary.
For best results, a series of 1–4 sessions may be recommended, depending on your skin and the concern being treated. A consultation is required to confirm whether IPL is appropriate for your skin type and goals.

What to
consider
- IPL works best on lighter skin tones. Those with darker skin or certain ethnic backgrounds may be at a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or burns due to the way IPL targets pigment. A consultation is essential to assess your suitability.
- Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment, as tanned skin increases the risk of side effects like burns or discoloration. After the procedure, protecting your skin from UV rays is critical to maintaining results.
- Results typically require multiple sessions, 1-4 treatments are common, depending on the condition and severity.
- While downtime is minimal, some mild redness and swelling may occur. This typically subsides within a few days, but it's important to plan accordingly if you're preparing for a big event.
