Intense Pulse Light (IPL)

IPL (Intense Pulse Light) Therapy is widely used for permanent hair reduction, reducing capillaries, rosacea, red necks, pigmentation, décolletage sun damage, collagen stimulation and pimples.

Pulsed-light systems work by emitting pulses of intense lamp-light into the hair follicles.The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles and converted to heat. The heat loosens the hair and disables the cell responsible for growing new hair. None of the heat generated transfers to the surrounding skin because it is a concentrated light that is attracted to the pigment in the hair. When treating the pigmented areas, rosacea, sun damage or stimulating collagen levels in the skin using IPL, a different filter, depth and setting is used each time directing the light to the different skin problems. Laser light often scatters the energy that is used to treat the hair follicles causing the surrounding areas to heat and feel uncomfortable. IPL is now the preferred method used by Doctors as it is regarded as the 'laser-upgrade' specifically for the above treatments.

Laser can be used successfully for total skin resurfacing. It literally burns off the top layers of skin removing deep wrinkles, scars and harsh sun damage. This procedure can only be preformed by Doctors and can take up to six months for the skin to fully recover.We don't do any laser treatments we only use IPL as our preferred choice to treat skin concerns.

There are thousands of IPL machines on the market and the results are totally reliant upon the operator as well as other factors like energy levels and the depth of treatments, so it is advised that you shop around.

IPL is available at Escape Day Spa Claremont or our anti aging clinic in Bunbury.

An IPL treatment firstly involves a skin consultation and your therapist will advise you on the results you can achieve, how many treatments will be needed and the cost. You can also select to have a test patch first.

Costs for IPL treatments are approximately from $165 per treatment for a basic bikini and from $350 per treatment for full face procedures.
