About

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a revolutionary non-invasive skin treatment method that harnesses the power of high-intensity pulses of visible light to address a multitude of common skin concerns. This advanced technology is adept at targeting an array of pigmentation irregularities, including but not limited to sun spots, age spots, and freckles, effectively restoring a more even and radiant complexion.

IPL therapy is highly effective in combating vascular issues such as broken capillaries and rosacea, providing relief and noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. By precisely targeting the affected areas with controlled pulses of light energy, IPL prompts the body’s natural healing response, gradually diminishing the appearance of these imperfections for a clearer and more uniform skin tone.

In addition to its pigment-correcting abilities, IPL therapy also boasts collagen-boosting properties. By stimulating collagen production, IPL helps to rejuvenate and firm the skin, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of ageing. This dual-action approach not only enhances the skin’s overall appearance but also promotes long-term skin health and vitality.

What is the downtime for an IPL treatment?

The downtime for an IPL treatment is typically minimal. Most individuals experience temporary redness and mild swelling immediately following the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually subside within a few hours to a day. Some individuals may also notice darkening or crusting of pigmented spots, which will gradually flake off over the following week or so. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects.

Essential aftercare advice

After undergoing an IPL treatment, it is crucial to follow proper aftercare instructions to promote healing and maximise results. Some essential aftercare advice includes:

  • Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen with a high SPF and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
  • Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants or retinoids, for a few days following the procedure.
  • Keep the treated area moisturised to help soothe any temporary irritation and promote healing.

Contact your skincare professional if you experience any unusual or prolonged side effects, such as severe redness, blistering, or excessive pain.

Following these aftercare tips will help ensure that you achieve the best possible results from your IPL treatment while minimising any potential risks or complications.
