Intense pulsed light (IPL)

Intense pulsed light (IPL)

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy uses high intensity light technology to safely treat brown spots and discolouration, usually caused by exposure to the sun. It is also commonly used to treat rosacea, a skin condition that causes red blushing and sometimes visible blood vessels in the face.

The treatment is most commonly administered on the face, neck, chest, hands and arms.

IPL can treat a range of issues associated with ageing and exposure to the sun, including liver or age spots, freckles, rosacea (a condition that causes redness of the face) and brown sunspots.

IPL can also be used to reduce the appearance of birthmarks, active acne, spider veins, and certain types of scars including acne scars and red atrophic scars.

What are your cosmetic concerns?

  • Skin concerns

    Whether your concerns are around benign moles, pre-cancerous spots, or sun damaged skin, our doctors have years of expertise in effectively diagnosing and treating skin cancer and other skin conditions.

  • Wrinkles and fine lines

    These are some of the most common cosmetic concerns. Typical areas our doctors treat include the forehead and around the mouth (frown and smile lines), but there are other areas that can also be effectively treated.

  • Sagging skin and volume loss

    Both are common concerns as we age, caused by the loss of structural support below the skin. Sagging is worsened by a loss of collagen and elastin.

  • Medical conditions

    Other concerns that our doctors treat include teeth clenching (bruxism) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Bruxism can result in jaw or ear pain, while hyperhidrosis is often an embarrassing condition for patients.
