How Does IPL Work

IPL Permanent Hair Reduction | Permanent Hair Reduction |Priced by individual area starting from £60

​

 Removal of hair using IPL works by targeting the melanin in the hair with quick pulses of light. This light energy converts to heat within the follicle. When sufficient heat has built up, the follicle will break down and be unable to produce a new hair. This process is most effective in the ‘anagen’ phase of hair growth. Approximately 30% of hairs are in this stage of growth at any one time, therefore, a course of treatments is required. Typically 6-10 treatments is needed at intervals of 4-6 weeks to see long lasting results. Any hair re-growth you do have will be softer and finer than before so it’s very effective if you suffer from ingrown hairs.

IPL Advanced Therapies

Acne IPL Facial 

Our most encompassing treatment that uses a combination of red, green and yellow light. The treatment stimulates a healing response in the body, killing bacteria and suppressing overactive sebaceous glands. In combination, these actions not only rid the skin of existing acne, but prevent future outbreaks. The body’s healing response also floods the area with collagen, further improving the appearance of any scarring.

In combination, these actions not only rid the skin of existing acne, but prevent future outbreaks. The body’s healing response also floods the area with collagen reducing the appearance of scarring.

Vascular Lesion Treatment | Prices start from £80

IPL treats thread veins by emitting wavelengths of light that are filtered to target the haemoglobin in the veins/broken capillaries. The treatment causes the vein to gradually break down over a number of days until it has disappeared. Only 1-3 treatments are required at 2-3 week intervals.

Photo-rejuvenation | Single treatment £135 per area-  Prices start from £330 - for a course of 3

Photorejuvenation is the broad term used to describe the treatment of photo-ageing which includes

wrinkles, pigmentation and age spots. IPL treatment encourages the skin to repair itself by producing new cells and increasing collagen production. It is a very effective and non invasive form of treatment and requires no down-time. A SkinBase IPL photorejuvenation treatment will not only remove pigmentation and sun damage but also improve skin tone and reduce wrinkles.  For a course of photorejuvenation for pigmentation, sun damage or fine lines and wrinkles we recommend a course of 3-6 treatments, 2-3 weeks apart.
