Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is the gold standard for treating hyperpigmentation, redness, and the visible signs of aging caused by the sun.
Schedule a ConsultationIPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is not a laser but a broad-spectrum light treatment. It works by sending wavelengths of light into the skin that are absorbed by specific "targets"—namely the brown pigment (melanin) in sunspots and the red pigment (hemoglobin) in broken capillaries.
When these targets absorb the light energy, they are heated and destroyed, allowing your body to naturally clear away the debris, resulting in a more even and youthful skin tone.
Commonly known as "liver spots" or freckles, these are clusters of melanin caused by UV exposure. IPL breaks these down effectively.
By targeting the blood vessels responsible for persistent redness and flushing, IPL calms the complexion and reduces visible veins.
During the treatment, you may feel a warm snap, often described as a rubber band flicking against the skin. We use cooling gels to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
Over the 3-5 days following treatment, brown spots will darken and rise to the surface, looking like tiny coffee grounds, before naturally flaking off to reveal clear skin.
While results are visible after one session, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for transformative results.
