Achieve clearer, more youthful skin with our advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, designed for both cosmetic enhancements and therapeutic skin solutions.
SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light is a very popular cosmetic skin treatment. IPL can be used for hair reduction and the advanced therapies can help with acne, vascular lesions and sun damaged skin.
IPL uses wavelengths of light to remove unwanted hair across the face and body. The advanced treatments use wavelengths of light to minimise signs of ageing, reduce the appearance of scars, and improve the appearance of acne.
Our professional-grade SkinBase IPL treatment is highly effective for improving the following conditions:
Skin Rejuvenation & Anti-Ageing: Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.
Acne & Acne Scarring: Targets bacteria and reduces inflammation.
Pigmentation Issues: Treats sun spots, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
Rosacea & Redness: Minimises visible blood vessels and facial redness.
Hair Removal: Long-term reduction of unwanted facial and body hair.
Our treatments are customised to your skin type and concerns, ensuring optimal results.
IPL works by emitting controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by target chromophores (like melanin for pigmentation and haemoglobin for redness). The absorbed light energy converts to heat, breaking down the target cells while stimulating collagen production for healthier skin renewal.
A typical IPL session involves the following steps:
Consultation: Your SkinBase therapist will assess your skin and determine the most effective settings for your concerns.
Preparation: A cryo-cooling handset will be used to cool the treatment area and maximise comfort and safety.
Treatment: The IPL device delivers pulses of light to the targeted area. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snapping or warming feeling.
Aftercare Guidance: You’ll receive personalised aftercare instructions to maximise results.
Each session typically lasts 20-30 minutes with no downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately.
