What is IPL skin rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is a light-based aesthetic treatment that actively targets and reduces skin irregularities to promote a clearer, younger and healthier complexion.
How does it work?
IPL works by applying rapid light pulses of variable wavelengths to the targeted area. The light is absorbed by the targeted chromophores (such as melanin in pigmentation or freckles). This light is then converted into heat energy which destroys the targeted area through controlled thermal damage, while ensuring surrounding healthy tissues remains untouched.
Is it painful?
No, you will feel a sensation throughout the treatment but it is not painful. We will take care to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.
How many treatments will I need?
This will vary depending on the severity of your skin concern. Some may require a single treatment, while others will require ongoing treatments to achieve the best possible results. Your clinician will discuss the expected number of treatments, along with expected results during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
No. Unlike other skin-corrective treatments, IPL skin rejuvenation requires no downtime so you are free to get on with your day as usual. Some temporary redness may occur, but this will pass soon enough. We will advise you on the necessary post-treatment care to follow during your session.
Are the results long lasting?
Most clients enjoy long-lasting results following their IPL skin rejuvenation program. To ensure optimal skin health and clarity for the long run, a maintenance treatment can be performed if necessary.
