What is Skin Rejuvenation IPL Treatment?
Skin rejuvenation using IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive light-based treatment designed to improve skin tone and reduce visible imperfections such as sun damage, pigmentation, broken capillaries, and signs of ageing. The controlled light pulses target discolouration and vascular concerns while stimulating collagen to enhance overall skin clarity and smoothness.
The Treatment Process
✔ Consultation and skin assessment to determine suitability.
✔ The skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is applied.
✔ IPL light pulses are delivered using a handheld device.
✔ A cooling gel or technology may be used for comfort.
✔ Treatment typically lasts 20–45 minutes depending on area.
✔ Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results.

How the Treatment Works
IPL emits broad-spectrum light that is selectively absorbed by **melanin** in pigmentation and **haemoglobin** in broken blood vessels. The light energy converts into heat, which breaks down these irregularities. At the same time, the thermal effect stimulates collagen production within the dermis, gradually improving texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
