IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment
Everybody loves the sunshine! Limited exposure is good for the soul and the immediate effects it has on the skin such as a tan and healthy glow are much desired. However, in the long term, sun exposure decreases the production of collagen, which in turn causes damage to the skin making it feel wrinkled and coarse and looking red and tired. Skin rejuvenation treatments will improve skin tone, texture, refine and refresh the skin by increasing the production of collagen in the skin
So a fresh start for your skin is our IPL skin rejuvenation services strategically address a number of the most common skin concerns with just a handful of treatments.
Skin Tone/Pigment Correction
Whether your born with them or acquired over the course of a lifetime, virtually everyone has one or more sun spots, freckles or skin discolouration they’d love to get rid of! IPL pigmentation correction effectively fades and removes age spots, sun spots and discolouration to greatly improve overall skin tone, texture and radiance.
How it works-
- Treatments areas such as backs of hands, forearms, décolletage and face will respond well.
- 1-4 treatments may be required, with one month between treatments.
- There are no major limitations on where can be treated.
- Some further lightening to skin tone will also occur over the following months via the lymphatic system
- If there are any suspicious sun spots, a medical certificate will be required to perform treatment on that particular region
Acne Management
IPL acne management targets acne-prone skin to reduce acne bacteria, breakouts and inflammation for a clearer, more balanced and healthier looking complexion.
How it works-
- Your Beauty Therapist will advise you of a skin care solution to get maximum benefit out of your treatment
- Treatments should be spaced approximately 1-2 weeks apart
Vascular Therapy
Spider veins, broken capillaries, red spots and rosacea can all be reduced and removed to offer clients an even, more uniform complexion.
How it works-
- Redness may return and will require further treatments - while the capillaries are still fragile (7-14 days)
- Rosacea will need maintenance and product support, depending on the severity and other factors. The beauty therapist will be able to discuss your concerns.
Photo Rejuvenation
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth out irregularities and enhance your skin's overall luminosity for a revitalised, youthful glow with IPL photo rejuvenation.
How it works-
- Photo rejuvenation treatments increase the production of collagen in the skin to improve skin tone, texture, refine and refresh the skin.

- Hormones- Treatment during life changes (i.e. puberty, menopause, andropause, etc) will effect the treatment outcome and results will be variable
