Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) is a concentrated treatment, to target specific concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation and blood vessels. It uses light energy to target colour within the skin and enhance its appearance.  During an IPL consultation, your therapist will explain the depth of the treatment and tailor it to suit your needs. You will also receive a patch test, at least 24 hours prior to your booked session, to make sure this is the right treatment for you.

IPL is what we like to call, a hot treatment, meaning it is only for those who are avid sunscreen users, specifically 3 weeks either side of treating. Most clients will need 2-3 treatments, 4 weekly, for optimum results. At Skindeep Clinic we only treat with IPL from April until October, due to the unpredictable, harsh east coast sun. Afterwards, your skin may feel slightly sun burnt, and appear discoloured where pigment has been targeted. This will ease and the discolouration will flake off over 5-10 days, revealing your rejuvenated more even complexion.
