IPL

('Intense Pulsed Light' Therapy)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) therapy can correct a variety of skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of photo-ageing, birthmarks, unwanted hair, unsightly small veins and other blemishes.

It offers a safe, non-invasive solution that can be tailored to your individual condition and skin type.

Photo-facial rejuvenation using IPL™ removes and repairs pigmented spots, freckles and sun damaged skin, unsightly small veins and capillaries on face and body, signs of ageing with collagen damage and fine wrinkles, acne scarring, chickenpox and other scars, refinement and reduction of open pore size on facial skin, rosacea and other facial and body discolouration.

Hair removal using IPL™ is relatively painless and offers a gentle, non-invasive, long-lasting solution to unwanted hair on the face, back, legs, bikini line or any other body area. IPL™ effectively treats unwanted hair on all skin types, including dark skin. Any hair with at least some pigment in it (black, brown, red and even blonde) can be treated effectively.

A cold gel is usually applied to the area to be treated, and you may be given dark glasses to protect your eyes from the bright light. The smooth glass surface of the IPL™ hand piece is gently applied to your skin and pulses of light are applied. You may feel a slight sting, like the snapping of a small rubber band. An anaesthetic cream may be used, but is seldom required.

Treatment is generally administered in a series of 4 to 6 sessions that provide excellent long-term results, minimal adverse effects and high satisfaction. Each treatment takes about twenty minutes.

IPL™ is a non-invasive procedure that treats a variety of skin conditions without disruption of the skin's surface, hence, no "down time".

Average Price Range: Photo-Rejuvenation $100-$400 per session
