IPL - Intense Pulsed Light

​

IPL is a fast and extremely effective way to reduce unwanted hair growth and treat a range of skin concerns such as acne, discoloured acne scarring, redness, pigmentation and sun-damage, and other signs of skin ageing.

​

By using specific wavelengths (colours) of light, we can target different areas of the skin that create these unwanted imperfections. The light is absorbed by the coloured target (red blood vessels, brown pigment spots), and is converted to heat inside it. This heat denatures the proteins and destroys the target tissue, while leaving the rest of the skin largely unaffected. As a positive side effect, the residual heat actively benefits the skin by stimulating the skin to produce new collagen – thereby “rejuvenating” the appearance of the skin.
