The Science How Do IPL Treatments Work?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments use targeted bursts of high-intensity light energy aimed at improving the appearance of multiple skin conditions. IPL emits broad-spectrum light energy into the skin, carefully selecting wavelengths that are preferentially absorbed by pigmentation, redness, and damaged blood vessels beneath the skin surface. As targeted areas absorb this light energy, it gently heats and breaks down unwanted pigment and blood vessels, allowing your skin to naturally clear these concerns over time.

IPL treatments aim to stimulate natural collagen production and promote a smoother, clearer, and more even complexion. Common conditions treated include:

  • Sun damage
  • Age spots
  • Freckles
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Redness/broken capillaries/rosacea symptoms
  • Superficial pigmentation

At Contour Clinics, IPL procedures are delivered by experienced cosmetic practitioners in medically accredited facilities, ensuring treatments are tailored safely and effectively to your individual skin concerns.

IPL Skin Treatments Sydney with Contour Clinics

In Australia, ongoing sun exposure contributes to skin concerns including sunspots, fine lines, irregular pigmentation and broken capillaries. These common skin conditions can influence your skin’s overall appearance, potentially accelerating visible signs of ageing.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments aim to selectively target these specific skin concerns. By delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light energy at precise wavelengths, IPL treatments seek to gently heat and break down pigment and capillaries without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. This targeted process encourages your body to naturally clear treated areas, aiming to enhance overall skin clarity and evenness with minimal discomfort or downtime.

IPL treatments can be suitable for addressing conditions including redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, non-melasma pigmentation, uneven skin tone and unwanted hair. IPL treatments are generally safest for lighter skin types. At your complimentary consultation, your Contour Clinics clinician will carefully assess your skin to determine your suitability, which may include a complimentary patch test if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will I See the Best Results from IPL treatments?

Results from IPL treatments typically become noticeable within approximately two to four weeks following your procedure, as the skin gradually clears treated pigmentation and redness. Optimal outcomes often become more evident after multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, as recommended by your clinician based on your individual skin concerns. Maintenance treatments may be suggested to help sustain improvements long-term.

What Can I Expect After the IPL Treatments?

After your IPL treatment you may notice a mild redness and warmth. These are both normal. If you are having pigmentation treated, it is normal for your pigment to turn darker. This darkening pigment resolves after 3-4 days before it flakes off.
