What Can IPL Treat?
Sun damage, pigmentation and redness can build up over time and leave skin looking uneven. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive treatment designed to target pigment and visible redness, for a clearer, brighter and more even complexion.
Pigmentation
For the appearance of sun damage, freckles and suitable superficial pigmentation.
Redness + Vascular
Targets suitable visible redness and superficial vascular concerns.
Skin Rejuvenation
Designed to improve overall tone and the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
*Treatment suitability is assessed during consultation.
Why Consultation Matters?
This is especially important with IPL because skin type, pigmentation type, medications, tanning and the nature of the lesion all affect suitability. Not every pigmentation or vascular concern should simply be treated with IPL.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of our most common questions.
Most people describe it as a quick warm snap, like a rubber band flicking against the skin. It’s over quickly, and we use cooling to keep you comfortable.

Most people need a course of sessions, spaced a few weeks apart [confirm Jaime’s protocol, e.g. 3 to 5 sessions, 3 to 4 weeks apart]. We’ll recommend what suits your skin in your treatment plan.
