IPL Treatments
IPL Hair Removal
IPL is clinically proven as a safe and effective permanent hair reduction treatment. It works by sending controlled pulses of light into the skin. This light hits the melanin within the hair and is converted into heat energy which destroys the hair follicle. This treatment works best on light skin and dark hairs which contain more melanin. Because every hair grows for a period of time, falls out, rests and starts to grow again, you will require a course of IPL hair removal sessions for optimum results. The results last for years and most people usually achieve their desired results within 6-8 sessions held at 4-8 week intervals. Clients often compare the sensation of IPL hair removal to a rubber band snapping on the skin.
Please note: Do not use any method of hair removal 30 days prior to your treatment. Avoid sunbathing or using self-tanning products for 30 days prior to treatment. Your skin will be particularly sensitive to UV light for up to a month after treatment.
Photo Skin Rejuvenation
IPL is an effective way to reduce the appearance of age spots, diffuse redness, and improve rosacea and uneven pigmentation on the face and body. The intense pulsed light is absorbed into the dark patches of skin, causing the melanocytes that cause the discolouration to break up and disperse over a period of time. Typically, each photo rejuvenation treatment reduces the skin age by 1-2 years making it look younger, brighter and clearer.
Treating Facial Thread Veins With IPL
Ellipse IPL uses short, safe bursts of light to quickly remove thread veins or spider veins from your face. The light is absorbed into the targeted blood vessels causing them to break down and disappear. There is little or no downtime with this treatment. Most clients require 3-4 treatments per area for optimum results. Please book a consultation so we can assess the areas to be treated and explain the results we expect to achieve.
