IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-surgical option that may be used to address certain skin changes. This approach uses light-based technology to focus on areas of concern that are discussed during your consultation. The most suitable method for each patient is decided after an assessment.

What Is IPL?

IPL uses pulses of light at different wavelengths to target changes in the skin. The settings can be adjusted to address individual needs and suit different skin types. This approach may be considered for the face, neck, or other areas depending on the concerns discussed in your consultation.

Concerns That May Be Addressed

IPL treatments may be considered for:

  • Changes in skin tone
  • Pigmentation such as freckles or sunspots
  • Visible surface vessels or redness
  • Mild texture changes

Whether IPL is suitable for your concerns will be discussed during your consultation.

Book a Consultation

If you are considering IPL treatments, you can book a consultation with Dr Scott Horsburgh. This appointment gives you the opportunity to discuss your concerns and the treatment options that may be suitable for you.

Treatment Approach

Dr Scott Horsburgh offers IPL treatments using settings tailored to the assessment. A cooling gel may be applied to help with comfort during the session. The device is then moved across the treatment area, delivering pulses of light in a controlled manner.

What to Expect Before the Treatment

Before your appointment, you may be advised to avoid certain things, such as direct sun exposure, tanning products, and some skincare ingredients. Any specific recommendations will be provided during your consultation.

What to Expect After the Treatment

Patients may notice redness or mild swelling in the treated area after the session. How long these effects last will vary from patient to patient. Care instructions will be provided, which may include avoiding heat and sun exposure for a set period.

Risks and Complications

Risks and complications associated with IPL may include:

  • Redness, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area
  • Temporary changes in skin colour
  • Dryness or flaking
  • Blistering or crusting
  • Infection

These will be discussed with you during your consultation.
