IPL is suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I-IV and can be used to treat dermatological conditions such as:

Pigmentation-Solar Lentignes (sun spots), Ephiledes (freckles), Poikiloderma (mottled skin with hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, telangiectasia and atrophy). Melasma is treated using Q Switch laser not IPL. Skin types I-III can be treated with 2-4 sessions recommended at frequency of 4 weeks.

Vascular lesions- Angiomas-cherry and spider and telangiectasia (broken capillaries) and Rosacea. Skin Types I-IV can be treated. Number of treatments is dependant on condition and lesion type. Frequency is 2-4 weeks again depending on condition and lesion type.

Acne-IPL targets porphyrins produced by C. acnes bacteria, generating oxygen that destroys the bacteria and reduce inflammation. Triggers wound healing response. Skin types I-IV can be treated. Number of treatments is based on cause of acne but typically 6-8+. Frequency is 2-4 weeks depending on severity.

Signs of Ageing-IPL is the gold standard for photo rejuvenation. IPL stimulates collagen production by heating intradermal water, improving skin texture, fine lines and elasticity. Skin Types I-IV can be treated. Recommended number of treatments are 4-6 with ongoing maintenance at frequency of 4 weeks.

Test patches are recommended to monitor skins response to treatment and determine parameters for optimal treatment. 24-48 hours depending on skin tone.

IPL is non ablative-meaning it does not remove or break the outer layer of the skin. .
