IPL Treatment
Intense pulsed light for brown spots, broken capillaries and diffuse facial redness.
IPL delivers filtered light that is absorbed by pigment and by the haemoglobin in small vessels. Sun spots darken and shed; redness and broken capillaries fade. Skin quality improves without breaking the surface.
What it treats
- —Sun spots and freckling
- —Diffuse redness and rosacea flushing
- —Broken capillaries
- —Uneven tone on face, neck, chest and hands
- —Enlarged-looking pores and background dullness
What to expect
- 01
A patch test and confirmation that you have had no recent sun exposure or self-tan.
- 02
Eye shields, cool gel, then a series of pulses that feel like a brief snap.
- 03
Pigment darkening to coffee-ground specks for five to seven days before it flakes away.
Aftercare
Sunscreen daily and no deliberate sun exposure for four weeks either side. A course of three to five sessions, four weeks apart, is typical, with maintenance once or twice a year.
Who it suits
Lighter skin types with sun damage or redness who want tone correction without downtime that keeps them home.
