IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
A non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to address a variety of skin issues. This treatment works by emitting pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s layers to target specific pigments, blood vessels, and other skin imperfections.
What to expect?
The treatment is usually quick and relatively painless, with a mild warming sensation. Usually about 20 mins to treat the face. The area will be covered in cool gel before the nurse will guide the IPL head across the area. You may be slightly pink and if the light hit any brown pigment spots they will look ashy and darker in color. The vessels will absorb into the body and the spots should slough off with in a week or so.
What are the benefits?
IPL is non-invasive with minimal downtime. The treatment improves skin tone and texture while also reducing hyperpigmentation, redness and broken capillaries. It improves acne and acne scarring, skin tightness and elasticity with minimal risk. IPL improves overall skin health.
