How it works
Using specific filters and settings, IPL can selectively heat visible vessels and pigmented spots so the body can gradually clear them away. Treatments are spaced out to allow the skin to recover fully between visits.
Benefits
- Softens the look of visible facial capillaries and general redness.
- Targets discrete sun spots and age spots in suitable areas.
- Can be combined with other skin treatments as part of an overall plan.
Good for / Not for
- Good for: small capillaries, diffuse redness and isolated sun spots on lighter, non-tanned skin tones.
- Not for: deep tans, certain medical conditions or a history of abnormal scarring or keloids.
What to expect
- Appointment time: Approx. 20–45 minutes depending on coverage required.
- Sensation: Short, warm snaps over the treated vessels or spots.
- Downtime: Redness and mild swelling are common for 24–48 hours; sun spots may darken before flaking.
Aftercare
- Keep the area cool and protected; avoid hot environments and vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
- Do not pick or scratch at darkening spots; allow them to shed naturally.
