What makes Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) special?

IPL is a non-laser unit that emits light across a range of wavelengths regularly producing better results than the original laser units associated with cosmetic procedures.

For hair removal, the melanin in the hair absorbs this light and is heated to a temperature that affects the hairs ability to grow.

For skin rejuvenation, various structures absorb this light and repair the damage caused by ageing and the sun.

Who can be treated?

Most hair and skin types can be successfully treated, but a consultation with our fully trained and registered practitioners will provide you with more information and any relevant advice. The treatments have little or no side effects, so procedures can be performed quickly and without any changes to your daily routine.
