IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Light-Based Skin Care, Guided by Clinical Assessment
IPL Skin Rejuvenation uses controlled light-based technology to support skin clarity, tone and overall appearance. At IOES, treatment begins with careful assessment so your skin type, concerns and suitability can be reviewed before a personalised plan is recommended.
Light-based treatment to support clearer, more even-looking skin
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a non-surgical skin treatment that uses carefully controlled pulses of light to target selected skin concerns. It may be considered for concerns such as redness, pigmentation, uneven tone or general skin rejuvenation, depending on skin type and assessment findings.
