IPL Photofacial
Broad-spectrum light for pigmentation and redness
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers multiple wavelengths of light simultaneously to the skin, targeting melanin in pigmented lesions and oxyhaemoglobin in blood vessels — treating sun damage, redness and uneven tone in a single modality.
IPL is not a laser — it delivers a broad spectrum of light filtered to target specific chromophores. It is highly versatile, addressing sun spots, freckles, diffuse redness and broken capillaries in a quick, well-tolerated session suitable for the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
