About this procedure
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) delivers broad-spectrum light to the skin to target redness, visible vessels and patchy pigmentation, while encouraging a more even tone.\n\nIPL differs from true laser because it uses a range of wavelengths rather than a single one, making it a flexible option for treating multiple concerns in one area.
Who it is suitable for
- ["Facial redness and visible vessels","Sun damage and patchy pigmentation","Uneven skin tone and textural dullness"]
How the procedure is done
A cooling gel is applied and the IPL handpiece is passed over the skin. Most people feel a warm sensation with each pulse. Treatment is gentle and no needles are involved.
Recovery & aftercare
The skin may look flushed for a few hours. Pigmented or red spots may darken and peel over the following days. A gentle skincare routine and strict sun protection support healing.
Important notes
- ["A course of sessions is usually needed for the best outcome","Avoid sun exposure and self-tanning products before treatment","The skin should be kept moisturised and protected with sunscreen"]
