IPL Photorejuvenation is a wonderful skin rejuvenation treatment that simultaneously erases many common nuisance skin blemishes such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, broken capillaries, facial redness, rosacea, and sun damage. Virtually all brown and red skin blemishes are reduced or eliminated by IPL.

- Who is IPL Photorejuvenation for?
Women and men of all ages who want to restore a healthy, youthful complexion. IPL reduces and removes a large variety of skin blemishes and imperfections. Brown spots and red blemishes respond particularly well. Freckles, age spots, sun spots, melasma, broken capillaries, facial redness, rosacea, and spider veins are all effectively treated with IPL Photorejuvenation.
Sun damaged areas of the neck, chest, and hands are popular treatment areas in addition to the face. Pore size and fine wrinkles have also been shown to improve by up to 30%.
Clients previously frustrated by rosacea, facial redness or a mottled complexion really appreciate the effectiveness of IPL Photorejuvenation.
IPL works best on lighter skin types and non-suntanned skin. Our doctors can easily assess your suitability for IPL and will create an optimum treatment plan specifically for your skin.
- How does it work?
Photorejuvenation utilizes a highly advanced technology called IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) that emits precise pulses of high energy light into the skin. Coloured blemishes and broken capillaries absorb more light energy than normal skin and are removed by the skin's normal repair mechanism.
- How many treatments will I need?
Optimum results are typically achieved with about 4 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
- Does it hurt?
The pulses of IPL are often likened to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. The treatments are easily tolerated and take just 20 minutes to do the entire face.
- How long does it take?
It takes just 20 minutes to treat the entire face. Most clients can return to normal activity immediately following their treatment.
- Is there any downtime?
IPL Photorejuvenation is considered a "no downtime" procedure and most clients return to normal activity immediately following their treatment.
A small number of clients may appear flushed following their treatment for up to an hour. It is common for brown spots and freckles to appear darker following treatment and these flake off within 10 days.
- How long does it last?
IPL Photorejuvenation results are longlasting, typically years.
The great results achieved with Photorejuvenation can be maintained with a single maintenance session once or twice a year.
