Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment in Sydney

About the treatment

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive treatment using multiple wavelengths of light to correct the visible signs of sun damage and ageing to the surface skin.

Common areas treated include the face, neck, décolleté, arms and hands. Improvements are seen for a variety of skin conditions:

Large pigmented lesions
Mottled complexions
Freckles
Small dilated capillaries (telangiectasia)
Redness and Rosacea
Skin tone and texture

How does IPL compare to other skin laser treatments?

IPL known as Intense Pulsed Light uses a broad spectrum of light, while lasers use a single wavelegnth of light. By selecting the appropriate wavelength of light, the IPL can be used to target specific skin concerns without damaging the surroungding skin.

IPL therapy has a shorter recovery time than other laser treatments. This is because IPL does not penetrate the skin as deeply as laster.

Benefits of treating the following areas include:

Face: IPL can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns on the face, including as spots, freckles, rosacea, and broken blood vessels.
Neck: IPL can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage.
Hands: IPL can be used to improve the appearance of the hands, reducing the appearance of age spots, sun damage, and veins
