What is an IPL Facial?

Picture this: an IPL facial is like a disco party for your skin. It's a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to zap away skin pigmentation and other cosmetic skin concerns by sending controlled bursts of light deep into your skin, working their magic on a variety of skin conditions. From acne and ageing signs to redness and damaged skin. These pulses of light are marvellous at repairing, renewing and rejuvenating everything below the skin's surface. Getting all your cells happy and hip-hopping to a brand new skin development beat. 

IPL for Acne

Having pimples is no party, and some pimples believe they can take up residence permanently on your face. IPL skincare treatments are the Sheriffs with acne eviction notices that swoop in to move on any acne that has overstayed its welcome. These intense light pulses penetrate your skin and obliterate the bacteria causing acne, leaving you with a clear and refreshed complexion. Not only that, but IPL facials also make sure no acne scars are left behind, ensuring your skin is left repaired, clean and clear once all your acne has been moved off the premises.  

IPL for Ageing

If time has been playing tricks on your face, fret not! IPL facials, also known as IPL Photo Rejuvenation, are here to rescue your skin from the clutches of ageing. Think of it as your personal light machine,  time machine. 

The light energy stimulates collagen production, plumping up your skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Never tell anyone your age again, but don’t think they won’t try to ask you, “How come you don’t age!” and you only have to share your secret if you want to.

IPL for Redness and Rosacea

For those dealing with redness and rosacea, IPL facials are like a soothing balm for your skin. The light pulses work their magic on the blood vessels causing redness, giving them a stern talking-to and coaxing them into retreat. Your skin will be left looking more even-toned and perfectly at peace. 

IPL for Damaged Skin

Sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation meet your match! IPL facials are here to reverse the damage and restore your skin's natural radiance. It's like hitting the reset button on your skin's history. The light energy breaks down excessive pigmentation, bidding farewell to those pesky dark spots while encouraging cell turnover so your new skin can sing a new happy tune, showcasing a smoother and more vibrant complexion.

How Long Does an IPL Facial Take?

Ready for some more good news? IPL facials are the kings and queens of convenience. A typical session can be as quick as binging your favourite TV show episode, clocking in at around 20 to 60 minutes. And the best part? Minimal downtime! You can return to your daily activities, strutting your stuff, in no time. 

IPL Facial Before and Afters

Seeing is believing. Feast your eyes on the jaw-dropping before and after pictures of IPL facial recipients. These visual testimonials give you the opportunity to gasp in awe at what you can also achieve. Witness the transformative power of IPL facials as they reveal brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. It's like witnessing a caterpillar transform into a magnificent butterfly.

What's the difference between IPL and laser?

IPL, which stands for intense pulsed light therapy, is the life of the party, with its broad spectrum of light waves dancing across your skin, addressing multiple concerns at once. Laser, on the other hand, is a solo operator, using a single wavelength to target and dance with only one specific issue at a time. Both have their strengths, but IPL takes the crown for versatility.

What is an IPL treatment like?

Close your eyes and imagine a gentle warming sensation on your skin, then a quick flick, similar to that of a rubber band, when the laser zaps. Fear not, it's a very tolerable experience with minimal discomfort.

How many treatments will I need?

Just like learning choreography, results take time. Most people see significant improvements after a series of three to six IPL treatments. IPL skin rejuvenation is a journey of transformation, and each session will bring you closer to your desired results.

What doesn't IPL treat?

Like all parties, IPL facials are not for everyone.
Unfortunately, those who can’t be invited to this type of party are skin areas with tattoos (because these types of light pluses potentially can remove tattoos) and melasma because IPL treatments can make it worse. But all is lost when it comes to melasma, we have winning treatments for this type of skin condition. 

When is the best time to have an IPL treatment on the Gold Coast?

It is best to have an IPL facial in Winter. These treatments can be performed year-round, however, as the Gold Coast climate is warm and sunny for most of the year, it's advisable to save this type of treatment for when the sun’s rays are not so striking - to protect your newly rejuvenated skin. It is a must, though, regardless of the season, to slather on the SPF straight after any IPL facial treatment.

I have dark skin – can I have IPL?

Absolutely! IPL treatments have come a long way, and advancements in technology have made them suitable for darker skin tones and types. Always make sure to ask to see before and afters and about the experience of the therapist with treating diverse skin types to ensure you get the best results.
