Brighten your skin tone. Fade dark spots. Boost clarity.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to target pigmentation, redness, and other skin irregularities. It helps reduce sun damage, age spots, broken capillaries, and uneven tone.
What is IPL & what can it treat?
IPL therapy delivers broad-spectrum light into the deeper layers of the skin. The light targets excess melanin (brown spots) and hemoglobin (redness), breaking them down so your body can naturally eliminate them. Over time, skin tone becomes more balanced and radiant. It can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas commonly affected by sun damage. PL can effectively treat:
Sun spots and age spots
Freckles and hyperpigmentation
Redness and rosacea
Broken capillaries and spider veins
Uneven skin tone
Fine lines and texture irregularities
Why choose IPL therapy?
IPL is a popular choice for clients looking to improve skin tone and clarity without surgery or aggressive peels. It's gentle, effective, and suitable for a wide range of concerns related to pigment and vascular conditions.
Non-invasive skin tone correction
IPL treats pigmentation and redness without damaging surrounding skin.
Brightens and evens complexion
By removing discolouration, your skin appears clearer, more radiant, and youthful.
Minimal discomfort, short recovery
Most clients describe it as a warm snapping sensation. Redness or mild swelling may occur but typically fades within 1–2 days.
Gradual, long-lasting improvement
Improvements build over a series of treatments, with long-term results when paired with good skincare and sun protection.
What to expect during your IPL treatment?
Each IPL session is quick, targeted, and designed to enhance your skin’s natural clarity.
Consultation & skin assessment
Our doctor will evaluate your skin and concerns to determine if IPL is right for you and how many sessions you’ll need.
Light-based treatment
After cleansing your skin and applying a cooling gel, we deliver light pulses to the targeted areas. Most people describe the sensation as a warm flick or rubber band snap.
Post-treatment care
You may experience slight redness or darkening of pigment spots, which will gradually flake off in the days following treatment. We'll provide aftercare instructions to support healing and results.
Real, natural-looking results after IPL therapy
IPL is known for restoring a brighter, more even complexion by fading dark spots and reducing redness. Results develop gradually over several sessions.
