What it treats
Treatments using it
Skin tones
We check your skin at the consultation and confirm whether IPL is suitable. Melasma needs an assessment first, because IPL can make it worse.
How it feels
Each pulse feels like a quick, warm snap, a bit like an elastic band. It’s over in a second.
Downtime
No time off is needed; skin may look flushed for a day or two. Sun spots darken, then fade or flake off over one to two weeks.
Questions
Common questions
Is IPL a laser?
No. IPL uses filtered light across a range of wavelengths, while a laser uses one.
How many sessions will I need?
About four for redness, 2–4 weeks apart; sun spots take a series about a month apart. We’ll confirm at your consultation.
Can I have IPL with a tan?
We check your skin for a tan at the consultation and may suggest waiting until it fades.
