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, though results and the number of sessions needed vary. A series of 1–4 sessions may be recommended, depending on your skin type and the concern being treated. A consultation is required to confirm whether IPL is appropriate for your skin and goals.
