Discover IPL Skin Corrections

IPL Vascular treatment is a non ablative procedure that uses intense pulse light to target hemoglobin in the skin, heating and damaging unwanted vessels. Damaged vessels are removed via the lymphatic system, resulting in a more even skin tone. Typically this treatment is used to spot and treat vascular lesions of the face and upper body to achieve an effective result. 

Skin must be prepped and skin barrier healthy.

2 to 4 treatments once every 4 weeks for optimal results.

Maintenance: every 3 to 6 months as needed.

IPL Pigmentation treatment is a non ablative procedure that uses intense pulse light to target melanin in the skin, heating and shattering the brown pigment. Damaged melanin is then removed either via the lymphatic system or micro crusts on the surface of the skin and naturally sloughs off, resulting in a more even skin tone. Typically this treatment is used to spot treat areas of pigmentation.

Skin must be prepped and skin barrier healthy.

2 to 4 treatments once every 4 weeks for optimal results on the face or every 2 months for the body.

Maintenance: every 6 to 12 months.

IPL Photorejuvenation is a non ablative procedure that uses intense pulse light to target water in the skin, heating the water to trigger a wound healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production along with several of the skin's self rejuvenating mechanism to improve the signs of ageing and improve skin texture and tone.

Skin must be prepped and skin barrier healthy.

4 to 6 treatments every 4 weeks for optimal results.

Maintenance: every 3 to 6 months, as needed.

IPL Acne treatment is a non ablative procedure that uses intense pulse light to target C. acnesbacteriain in the skin. C. acnes bacteria live in oxygen free environment and produce endogenic porphyrins. When these porphyrins absorb blue light, free radical damage and oxygen is produced. This process destroys the bacteria and reduces associated inflammation, assisting with the resolution of acne lesions.

Skin must be prepped and skin barrier healthy.

2 treatments per week for 2 to 4 weeks for optimal results.

Maintenance: weekly to monthly as required.
