What is IPL?
Beauty clinics use intense pulse light (IPL) machines to treat a range of cosmetic conditions such as the removal of unwanted hair, improve skin tone and texture, and reduce age spots.
The IPL machine emits very small amplitude wavelength light through a crystal sapphire head. The light penetrates deep into the skin reaching all the way to the inner layer (known as the subcutaneous layer or hypodermis).
This deep penetration provides a mechanism for reaching unwanted structures within the skin, such as hair follicles, clogged glands (causing acne), veins, and pigmentation.
The colour of the structures (such as the red in veins, or pigmentation in hair or freckles) attracts and absorbs light of different wavelengths depending on the colour.
Our machines are specially designed to have a variety of settings depending on what we are targeting, providing a safe and specific way of reaching only the structures that are considered problematic.
Furthermore, In professional hands, IPL technology is safe. Protective eye-ware must be worn and it is provided by our clinic. Some temporary reaction to treatments is possible. Short term side effects may include skin sensitivity and redness, acne-like breakouts and mild swelling.
