How IPL Photofacial Works
Selective photothermolysis
Filtered light is absorbed by pigment (melanin) and haemoglobin, fragmenting sun spots and calming background redness. Settings are tailored to your skin type.
- Sessions typically 20–40 minutes
- Integrated cooling for comfort
What to expect
Sun spots often darken (“coffee-ground” look) then flake within a week. Tone looks more even as the course progresses. Daily SPF is essential to maintain results.

IPL Photofacial — FAQs
How many sessions will I need?
Most courses are 3–4 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart. Stubborn sun spots may need an extra session.
Is it painful?
Expect brief snaps with cooling; most clients find it tolerable. We tailor settings to comfort and efficacy.
Is IPL safe for darker skin tones?
Suitability depends on skin type and recent UV exposure. We confirm at consultation and patch test.
Can IPL treat melasma?
We’re cautious as melasma can rebound with heat/light. We’ll discuss peel/topical strategies if IPL isn’t ideal.
