Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is an effective treatment to correct many hard to treat skin conditions and concerns. This advanced light treatment can help to treat rosacea, acne, thread veins, spider veins, uneven pigmentation and sun spots.. IPL can provide an incredibly targeted treatment, focusing only on the areas of concern.

IPL uses a range of light wavelengths that penetrate deep into the skin’s tissue where the melanin absorbs the light. This means it can not be used on darker skin tones.

Facial Thread Veins, Rosacea and Facial Redness Therapy

IPL Red Light is the only treatment that is extremely effective on rosacea.

Laser light is pulsed through the skin’s surface, targeting the desired area in the underlying tissue, helping to reduce redness at a deeper level. Blood vessel walls are actually transparent! Therefor IPL treatments depend on the absorption by blood cells flowing through the vessel. Blood is heated by IPL and laser, as the heat flows outwards it coagulates vessel walls to seal and heal the vein resulting in no visible thread veins or redness. The skin may appear instantly more red after the treatment however this subsides over the next couple of hours. Thread Veins may appear darker for 2-3 days before they begin to lighten and disperse.

Pigmented Lesions Treatment – Freckles and Ages Spots

IPL is an effective way to treat freckles and pigmentation. Light energy is more efficiently absorbed by darker areas of pigmentation in the skin and breaks down the excess melanin that forms the basis of each freckle and it naturally taken away by the body’s immune system. Adjacent areas of skin that do not contain excess melanin remain unaffected. The areas of pigmentation may scab after the treatment as the pigment is lifted out of the skin revealing a smooth even skin complexion.

Active Acne Infection Therapy 

IPL technology utilises light flashes over the treatment area, the wavelength of blue light has an antimicrobial effect, triggering biochemical response and creating oxygen in the skin that will eventually kill the Propionibacterium within each pore. This treatment is great for active acne however not Acne scaring.

You will start to see some improvements in your skin a week after your IPL Treatment. Your results may vary after each treatment and usually each treatment you have will be a little stronger than the one before meaning the results will start to become more noticeable over time. 

The treatment takes from 30 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. 

We always recommend a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 2 weeks apart for complete correction then a maintenance treatment every 2- 6 months. 

Here at Brook Bottom Aesthetics all of our treatments are bespoke to you which means that our practitioners will never give you a result that doesn’t suit you and occasionally we may refuse treatment altogether. Our consultants will give you a full overview of what to expect from your treatment during your consultation.
