IPL for Pigmentation, Redness, Vascular Concerns & Skin Rejuvenation
If pigmentation, sun damage, facial redness or uneven skin tone is bothering you, IPL can be a useful option when the concern is suitable for treatment.
Ashby Beauty Bar provides professional IPL skin treatments from our peaceful clinic in Ashby, a short drive from Maclean and welcoming clients from Yamba, Iluka and across the Clarence Valley.
Lynton Excelight IPL
We use the Lynton Excelight IPL system for targeted skin treatments.
IPL uses carefully selected pulses of light to target specific concerns within the skin. Treatment settings are chosen according to your skin type, the concern being treated and your individual response.
Your skin is assessed before treatment to determine whether IPL is appropriate for you.
What Can IPL Help With?
Depending on your skin and suitability, IPL treatments may be used for:
Sun-induced pigmentation
Freckles and sun spots
Uneven skin tone
Facial redness
Visible superficial vessels and capillaries
Skin rejuvenation
Selected acne concerns
Different concerns require different IPL treatment approaches, so your treatment is selected according to what we can actually see in your skin.
IPL Pigmentation Treatment
IPL can be used to target suitable superficial pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
Pigmented areas absorb the selected light energy, allowing the targeted pigment to gradually darken and move through the skin's natural renewal process following treatment.
Not every form of pigmentation should be treated with IPL. Your pigmentation needs to be assessed first, particularly when melasma or other complex pigmentation is suspected.
IPL for Redness & Vascular Concerns
IPL may be used to target suitable facial redness, visible capillaries and superficial vascular concerns.
The treatment is adjusted according to the type, depth and location of the redness or vessel being treated.
Persistent facial redness can have different causes, so assessment is important before deciding whether IPL is the right approach.
IPL for Acne-Prone Skin
Selected IPL treatments may form part of a treatment plan for suitable acne-prone skin.
Acne is complex, and IPL isn't automatically appropriate for everybody experiencing breakouts. We assess the type of acne, inflammation and overall skin condition before recommending treatment.
Other treatments or home skincare may sometimes be more appropriate initially.
IPL Skin Rejuvenation
IPL photorejuvenation can be used when several visible signs of sun exposure and uneven skin tone are present together.
Rather than focusing on one isolated spot, treatment can be planned across a larger area to improve the appearance of suitable pigmentation, redness and overall skin clarity.
What Happens During an IPL Treatment?
Your skin is assessed before treatment and your treatment settings are selected according to your skin type and concern.
Protective eyewear is worn during IPL.
You may feel a brief warm or snapping sensation as each pulse is delivered. Treatment time depends on the area and concern being treated.
Afterwards, the skin may appear warm or slightly red. Pigmented areas can temporarily become darker before gradually clearing.
We will explain what to expect and provide appropriate aftercare.
How Many IPL Treatments Will I Need?
This depends on your skin, the concern being treated and how it responds.
Some concerns may respond noticeably following a treatment, while others require a planned series.
We assess your progress rather than automatically recommending the same number of treatments for everybody.
Is IPL Suitable for My Skin?
IPL isn't suitable for every skin type, pigmentation condition or medical history.
Your skin type, medications, sun exposure, tanning history and the nature of the concern being treated all need to be considered.
A consultation and appropriate skin assessment are completed before treatment.
