Reveal Radiant Skin With IPL Photofacial
IPL is the treatment for the damage that shows up as colour. Not lines, not laxity — the brown and the red. Sunspots, freckles, flushing, and the small vessel beside your nose you have been covering for years.
How it works
IPL fires broad-spectrum light that passes straight through skin with nothing to absorb it. When it meets pigment — brown in a spot, red in a capillary — the energy stops there and turns into heat. The target takes the damage and the skin around it does not. Brown spots darken first and flake away over the following days. Vessels shrink and clear.
- Sunspots and age spots
- Freckles and uneven pigment
- Redness and rosacea-like flushing
- Broken capillaries and visible vessels
- Dull, blotchy overall tone
What a session is like
A typical IPL session runs 30 to 45 minutes. Most people describe each pulse as a quick snap of a rubber band, cooled between passes. You go back to your day straight afterwards. The brown lifting to the surface over the next few days is the treatment working — leave it alone and let it go.
Who it suits
IPL needs contrast: pigment that is darker than the skin around it. That makes it excellent on sun damage and less suited to skin that is freshly tanned or deeply pigmented, where the light cannot tell the target from the background. It is a two-minute conversation at your consult and it saves booking the wrong thing.
