About the treatment:
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light is most commonly known as The Photo Facial.
Many different pigmented and vascular imperfections can appear on your face, neck, hands and chest preventing you from looking and feeling your best. ICON MAXG™ IPL treatment gives you one convenient solution to treat them all — quickly and with minimal discomfort and no downtime, whilst also boosting collagen production! It’s also the ONLY IPL clinically proven to be as effective as gold standard lasers.
How does the treatment work?
Pulses of light target and erase broken vessels and pigmented lesions at the surface of your skin without harming surrounding tissue. As a result, you enjoy clearer skin that looks younger and fresher. Many patients affected by broken capillaries, spotty pigmentation or brown spots tend to see results after just one IPL treatment session but a course of sessions is recommended for maximum results.
Take years off your face IPL vessel treatments that deliver:
- Fast, easy removal of vascular and pigmented imperfections
- Comfortable, convenient facial treatment sessions
- Rapid recovery with no downtime
Light-Based Rosacea Treatment
Light-based rosacea treatment can reduce rosacea redness and “flushing” to reveal clearer, more natural-looking skin in just a few easy treatments, practically pain-free — providing a more permanent result than topical creams.
Light-based rosacea treatment can effectively reduce:
- Redness, and flushing
- Acne-like papules, pustules, and patches
- Rosacea swelling, inflammation, and discomfort
IPL light therapies deliver pulses of light to destroy capillaries responsible for contributing to rosacea. During the month following treatment, the body continues to absorb blood vessels, causing facial redness to significantly diminish. IPL is the most effective solution for fading redness and rosacea. Rosacea treatment with IPL requires a series of 30 minutes light based treatments for optimal results.

FAQ's
While traditional lasers operate on a single-wave length, the Palomar ICON MAXG™ IPL employs a unique combination of Dynamic Spectrum Shifting sm and dual-band filters for extreme precision and efficiency. This allows for more thorough heating across the entirety of the blood vessel, providing treatment for the skin’s deepest facial vessels.

After a full consultation and patch test to assess your suitability for the treatment, you will be cleansed and given full black out goggles to wear during treatment. Your specialist will apply some lux lotion to enhance the comfort of your treatment and your session will begin. During your treatment you will experience a flashing light although your eyes will be fully protected with metal black out goggles, virtually pain free you will also experience a sensation similar to the snap of an elastic band with most patients describing the after sensation of the treatment as a mild sunburn sensation. Treatment times are generally 30mins.
Depending on the concern you are treating side effects of the treatment can vary. For pigment or pigmented lesions typical after effects of the treatment consist of, slight redness, immediate darkening of the pigment (this is what we want to see) followed by crusting or flaking of the pigment over the next 5-7 days. This is your body naturally removing the pigment and your pigment will be visibly lighter and or removed completely.
For vascular imperfections, blushing and rosacea treatments, you can expect redness, some mild swelling or puffiness and darkening of the blood vessels, over the next 2-4 weeks your body will naturally re-absorb these treated vessels and they will disappear.
Most patients enjoy healthier skin 2 weeks after their IPL treatment. At this point, the body naturally gets rid of damaged cells and clears broken capillaries away, revealing a healthier and smoother complexion. Facial rejuvenation with IPL is a non-surgical procedure that offers unparalleled results and faster healing times than traditional methods.
Individuals looking to reduce signs of ageing, rosacea, redness and hyper-pigmentation without undergoing surgery can benefit from light based laser therapy. Optimised light technology is beneficial for clearing vascular and pigment related lesions.
