One of the biggest advantages of IPL treatment is the amazing results that can be achieved with minimum downtime. Clients often come in for a session on their lunch hour before heading back to the office and nobody is ever any the wiser that they’ve had treatment. IPL is used to improve the appearance of the skin and is what is known as a non-ablative resurfacing technique because it treats the lower layers of skin in order to improve the appearance of new skin, but this means that the top layers are not injured in any way. This means that there won’t be any visible side effects to contend with, although you will have to take precautions, which will be discussed prior to your treatment.

IPL works by targeting specific skin cells with a wavelength of different light energies. This light energy is converted into heat energy which works to destroy the cell.

We can use this heat energy to target troublesome skin issues in a number of ways. We can, for instance, improve pigmentation issues by targeting the melanin in the surface of the skin around the discolouration in order to destroy it. This melanin will then simply flake away once it makes its way to the top layers of the skin. Likewise, we can also tackle thread veins or vascular lesions by targeting the red pigment on the lower layers of skin. We can also help with unwanted hair by targeting hair follicles and destroying them, causing the hair to fall out.

We always offer a free consultation to discuss with you how best to approach any issues that you have with the appearance of your skin. Book in today and take your first step to clear, beautiful skin.
