What Can IPL Treat?

Versatile light-based rejuvenation tailored to pigmentation, redness, acne, and uneven tone

Pigmentation

Targets age spots, sun spots, freckles, and excess melanin for a clearer, more even complexion.

Rosacea & Redness

Helps minimise visible blood vessels and facial redness by targeting hemoglobin in the skin.

Acne Support

Supports clearer skin by helping reduce acne-causing bacteria and calming inflammation.

Fine Lines

Stimulates collagen production to soften early signs of ageing and refine skin texture.

Uneven Skin Tone

Improves tone irregularities and helps create smoother, more balanced-looking skin.

Sun Damage

Commonly used to address UV-related pigmentation and overall dullness caused by sun exposure.

Collagen Support

Encourages the skin’s natural healing response, supporting firmer, smoother skin over time.

Minimal Downtime

Non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time, making it easy to fit into a busy routine.

Consultation Led

Each plan begins with a professional consultation and patch test to assess suitability safely.

Multi-Concern Treatment

Because IPL uses broad-spectrum light, it can address multiple common concerns in one course of treatment.

How IPL Works

Targeted light energy with a refined, non-invasive approach

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses high-intensity pulses of broad-spectrum light to target specific chromophores in the skin — mainly melanin for pigmentation and hemoglobin for redness and visible vessels.

When the light energy is absorbed, it generates controlled heat that helps break down excess pigment, reduce visible vascular irregularities, and support the skin’s natural renewal process.

Treatment Experience

Your appointment begins with a consultation and patch test. A cooling gel is applied, the IPL handpiece is placed against the skin, and short pulses of light are delivered to the treatment area. Most clients describe the feeling as a mild snapping or warm pinching sensation, and numbing cream is usually not required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people are suitable candidates for IPL treatment, but a professional consultation and patch test are required before treatment. Recently tanned skin and some darker skin types may carry a higher risk of side effects, so suitability is assessed carefully before proceeding.

No numbing cream is usually required. Most clients describe IPL as a mild snapping or warm pinching sensation, and discomfort is generally minimal.

Short-term side effects may include mild redness, warmth, or temporary sensitivity. There is minimal downtime, and most clients return to normal activities immediately, but direct sun exposure should be avoided for at least 2 weeks and daily SPF is essential.

Treatment numbers depend on the concern being treated. Permanent hair reduction generally requires 6–8 treatments every 2–8 weeks; pigmentation and skin rejuvenation often need 4–6 treatments every 4 weeks; vascular treatments usually require 4–6 treatments every 2 weeks; acne may require ongoing weekly or fortnightly sessions.

Treatment Plan & Aftercare

IPL treatment plans vary depending on the concern being addressed. Your therapist will create a personalised schedule designed around your skin, treatment goals, and response over time.

Recommended Frequencies

Permanent Hair Reduction — 6–8 treatments, every 2–8 weeks
Sun Spot & Pigmentation Reduction — 4–6 treatments, every 4 weeks
Vascular Lesions — 4–6 treatments, every 2 weeks
Skin Rejuvenation — 4–6 treatments, every 4 weeks
Acne Treatment — may require ongoing weekly or fortnightly sessions

Aftercare Essentials

You can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks, use daily SPF protection, and follow your therapist’s aftercare advice to support the best possible results.

What Is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)?

IPL is a popular, non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to improve a variety of common skin concerns, including age spots, sun damage, acne scars, redness, and uneven skin tone.

Using advanced light technology, IPL targets pigmentation and vascular irregularities while stimulating collagen production — resulting in clearer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL delivers multiple wavelengths of light. This allows it to treat different skin concerns in one session. Because it is non-invasive, there is minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.

Skin Concerns

What Can IPL Treat?

01
Pigmentation

Reduces age spots, sun spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone by targeting excess melanin.

02
Rosacea & Redness

Minimises visible blood vessels and facial redness by targeting hemoglobin.

03
Acne

Helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation, supporting clearer skin.

04
Fine Lines & Early Ageing

Stimulates collagen production to soften fine lines and improve overall skin texture.

How It Works

What Happens During Treatment?

IPL works by targeting specific chromophores in the skin — melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) and hemoglobin (found in blood vessels and responsible for redness). The light energy is absorbed by these targets, generating controlled heat that breaks down excess pigment or reduces visible blood vessels.

An added benefit of IPL is collagen stimulation. As new collagen forms, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in tone.


Your therapist will begin with a consultation and patch test to ensure IPL is suitable for your skin type and concerns.

  • 1
    A cooling gel is applied to protect and comfort the skin.
  • 2
    A handheld IPL device is placed gently against the treatment area.
  • 3
    Short pulses of light are delivered — each lasting only a fraction of a second.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warm pinching feeling. The treatment is generally very well tolerated and does not require numbing cream.
