[accordion_son title=”How does IPL work?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
A fully trained clinician will apply a specially designed hand piece to your skin and generate an intense pulse of light which will be absorbed by the hair follicle, disrupting the hair and preventing it from growing back. The light from the hand piece is delivered at high intensity during a very short period of time. It is this rapid discharge of light that provides the high energy levels required for an effective IPL treatment.

IPL Skin Treatment
[accordion_father titlemargin=”5″][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”What is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is light based IPL treatment that actively targets and reduces skin irregularities to promote a clearer, younger and healthier complexion.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”How does it work?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
IPL works by applying rapid light pulses of variable wavelengths to the treatment area. The light is absorbed by the targeted chromophores (such as melanin in pigmentation or freckles). This light is then converted into heat energy which destroys the targeted area through controlled thermal damage, while ensuring surrounding healthy tissue remains untouched.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”Is it painful?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
No, you will feel a sensation throughout the treatment but it is not painful.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”How many treatments will I need?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
This will vary depending on the severity of your skin concern. Some may require a single treatment, while others will require ongoing treatments to achieve the best possible results. Your clinician will discuss the expected number of treatments, along with expected results during your consultation.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”Is there any downtime after treatment?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
No. Unlike other skin-corrective treatments, IPL skin rejuvenation requires no downtime so you are free to get on with your day as usual. Some temporary redness may occur, but this will pass soon enough. We will advise you on the necessary post-treatment care to follow during your session.

[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”How many sessions will I need?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
This all depends on the size, age, quality and color of your unwanted tattoo. Some may need as little as six sessions to achieve a satisfying result, while others may require 1 2 or more to remove the tattoo completely.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”How long do I need to wait between sessions?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
Sessions are generally spaced at six-week intervals, or more. This is because the tattoo removal process keeps working long after your session has finished. It takes time for your body to fully complete the natural process of clearing the treated tattoo inks, which is why after each session the skin is allowed time to heal and renew before moving onto the next stage of treatment.
[/accordion_son][accordion_son gradientbg=”” title=”Does it hurt?” bgclr=”#a56abe” clr=”#ffffff”]
The sensation felt during tattoo removal treatment will vary from person to person. Factors to consider include the pain threshold of the individual being treated, as well as the size, quality, color and location of the tattoo (for example, removing a foot or neck tattoo will generally be more uncomfortable than a back tattoo).
Your clinician may engage various pain reduction methods such as topical anesthetic, ice packs or a skin cooling system to help minimize the discomfort experienced when undergoing treatment.
