IPL Perth
Intense Pulsed Light
(IPL) is a revolutionary treatment for a variety of
conditions: sun spots, freckles, birthmarks, skin imperfections,
spider veins, Rosacea, acne and permanent hair reduction.
How does Intense Pulsed Light work?
Highly controlled flashes of intense filtered light
are directed onto the skin. This light is absorbed
by melanin
(in hair and pigment spots) and blood (in vascular lesions)
and converted to heat. The heat then destroys the follicle,
pigment or vascular lesion, without damaging the surrounding
tissue.
Is it the same as laser?
Intense Pulsed Light is similar to lasers and treat
hair and lesions in basically the same way. However
pulsed
light systems have a larger, smooth beam and a long pulse
for safe, faster, more comfortable treatments on a range
of conditions.
What are IPL treatments like?
Quick
and easy! After your initial consultation, our Doctor
or Registered Nurse
will move the IPL handpiece over
your skin. The handpiece emits a light that destroys
the hair follicles and breaks up the pigment in the
lesions. Each pulse feels like a slight sting, similar
to the
snap of a rubber band.
What Should I Expect After Treatment?
Intense Pulsed Light therapy has the benefit of “no
down-time”: most clients are able to return to
work straight away with only mild skin changes immediately
following treatment.
A mild sunburn-like sensation is
expected, usually lasting less than an hour. Mild swelling
and/or redness may accompany
this which should resolve in 2—3 days.
Following hair removal: the appearance of hair growth
or stubble will continue for 1—2 weeks while the
hair in the follicle is expelled. During this time, you
may shave or cut the hair to maintain a “hair-free” appearance.
Pigmented
lesion treatment: lesions will gradually turn darker
over the next 24 - 48 hours. It’s important
not to pick or scratch at these: they will fall off naturally
after 7—14 days.
Vascular Lesions: vessels may change
to a purple colour following treatment. The skin becomes
flushed and slightly
swollen. The vessel will then fully or partially fade
in about 10—14 days.
After Treatment Skin Care
Moisturisers may be used as necessary, particularly
if there is any peeling of the skin. Sunscreen
is most important.
We recommend the daily use of an SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Make up may be used for camouflage, but care must
be taken
- apply and remove gently.
