The procedure
IPL At Work
What do I need to know?

Another term for IPL is “Flash-lamp therapy.” This is because it uses high-energy light pulses. The skin cells absorbed these broad wavelength light pulses when applied to the treatment area using a portable device that produces heat. IPL can work to break down melanin and pigment that cause problems like uneven pigmentation, age spots, and discolouration. In addition, it targets and contracts the walls of the spider veins, and destroys the hair follicles, preventing them from recurring, and as a result, leading to smoother skin.

Comprehensive Skin Renewal
What does IPL do?

is one of the popular treatments when it comes to skin rejuvenation. This is because IPL removes impurities like damaged veins and capillaries, evens out the complexion, stimulates collagen production for skin to look younger, and erases years from a worn-out face. Unlike laser treatment which emits only one wavelength of light, IPL treats a wider range of skin problems using multiple wavelengths.

Comfortable Light Therapy
What can I expect during the treatment?

Your doctor will clean the treatment area and apply a cooling gel to your face. You will be required to wear dark glasses for eye protection during treatment. After that, your doctor will apply the light pulse using a portable device that produces broad wavelength light. The heat will help the skin to be rejuvenated.

Quick, Efficient Treatment
How long does the process last?

The procedure will take only 20 to 30 minutes with little to no downtime. IPL is good for individuals who are busy with their lives or schedules.

Safety And Comfortability
Is it safe?

IPL skin rejuvenation therapy does not require operations or the use of needles because it is a non-invasive procedure. It is safe and comfortable in general. However, pregnant or lactating women and individuals with sunburned skin should not have an IPL treatment for safety purposes.

Customized For Sensitivity
Is it good for sensitive skin?

For light brown or pale skin. Your doctor may begin with a lower setting and increase slowly and may change treatment specifications based on the type of your skin and sensitivity.

Gradual, Lasting Results
How many IPL treatments do I need?

You can see a noticeable change in just a single IPL treatment, but it is advisable to have 3-5 sessions to get the full results. To maintain optimal results, you may have one treatment once every 6-12 months as maintenance.

Protect And Nourish Daily
How to maintain results after a series of IPL?

You should apply sunscreen every day. Apply serums with antioxidants or products containing vitamin C or E. Also, keep your skin moisturised. These will help you to have good skin for a longer period of time.

Makeup After 24 Hours
Can I wear Makeup?

It is actually safe to wear makeup after getting an IPL treatment to hide the redness and minor effects of the procedure. However, patience is essential. For you to avoid possible irritation or infection, do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours to give your skin time to recover.

Contact Your Doctor
When should I contact my doctor after an IPL?

You may need to contact your doctor if you get more blisters or scabs or if you’re in too much pain and swelling. You can also talk to them if you want to have another treatment.

The essentials
How do you prep your skin?

  • If you are planning to have an IPL treatment, you should follow some steps to protect your skin and enhance your results before your treatment.
  • Always use a moisturiser and protect your skin from sun exposure by using sunscreen.
  • Avoid smoking before your IPL treatment for at least 6 weeks.
  • Stop taking anti-coagulant medications and if you are taking antibiotics, ask your doctor for advice.
  • Stop using retinoids to avoid sensitivity.
  • Drink lots of water before and after your IPL.
  • Make sure that your skin is clean and make-up-free upon arriving at your chosen clinic. This ensures optimal product penetration.

How do I take care of the treated part?

After an aqua peel, avoid using retinoids on the treated area. You need to give it a few days after the session before you use them again. Exposure from the heat of the sun should be minimized as much as possible, particularly if you want to heal fast without leaving any blemishes or spots. Remember to use your SPF cream whenever you go outside.

What do I need to do after recovering?

To be able to make the results of IPL last longer, you should:

  • Use sunscreen on a regular basis.
  • Apply moisturiser every day.
  • Avoid tanning treatments.

Why have a Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Renewing Your Appearance
Combat Skin Ageing

IPL works effectively in treating fine lines and wrinkles. It also targets those maturing skins that are more noticeable as we get older. It also stimulates collagen and elastin production to help improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin and make it look younger.

Radiant, Clear Skin
How does an IPL address skin issues?
  • Removing the pigmented skin

    Smoother and brighter skin, an IPL skin rejuvenation treatment can help you achieve it.

  • Treating the damaged skin cells

    Removing the hair follicles and pigmented skin.

  • Making the skin clearer and smoother

    Give your face a dewy glow that reflects light.

Timeless Rejuvenation

IPL treats multiple skin concerns at once without doing surgery, as it is a non-invasive treatment. Your surgeon can treat different concerns you may have like, unwanted hair, uneven tone, photodamaged skin, rosacea, and vascular lesions, as well as any other skin problems, in a single session.

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles: It helps lessen wrinkles and fine lines by promoting the production of collagen

Am I suitable
Is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) good for me?

Factors to consider

  • An IPL skin rejuvenation therapy is suitable for any individual except for pregnant women and those with skin conditions. If you have sunburned skin or darker skin tones, thick scars or keloids, and if you are taking anticoagulant medicines, IPL is not for you.
  • Remember to consult your skincare professional to determine if IPL is the right treatment for you.
The risks
Can a risk be prevented?

Potential risks

  • IPL skin rejuvenation treatments are safe, but just like other cosmetic treatments, they also have some side effects like redness and swelling on the treated area within two to four days, and bruising for 2 weeks. Although it is rare to happen, blistering or crusting may be experienced. Some patients may also experience darkening or lightening of the treated part.
  • It is best to consult with your doctor so they can discuss with you all the possible risks and provide a pre- and post-treatment plan to help minimise the risks.
