IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

IPL is a comfortable, effective treatment ideal for treating a range of skin concerns.
During a SkinBase IPL treatment, a handset targets wavelengths of pulsed light onto the skin to treat a specific concern. The light reaches the second layer of skin without harming the top layer, so it is a quicker, more comfortable treatment with no downtime required.

The light-based therapy is highly beneficial in treating male skincare concerns. IPL advanced treatments are an excellent option for the face and the body. Acne and inflammation can be targeted and healed with a series of yellow, green and red-light pulses. The treatment works in a number of ways for male skin. The red lights target the sebaceous glands to minimise oil production in the future, while the yellow and green lights heal symptoms, destroy bacteria and boost collagen within the skin. As shown below, IPL achieves incredible results for those suffering with breakouts. You can also solve concerns of pigmentation, scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles with IPL advanced.

Beard shaping is the extent of IPL facial treatment recommended for men, and it is a great option for unruly facial hair. However, we recommend any other IPL Hair Reduction takes place on the body for men, as the reduction is permanent. If you treat your full face and one day want to grow a beard, you won’t be able to. Hair reduction treatments on the back and other body parts, are a great way to remove unwanted hair while minimising the risk of ingrown hair caused by shaving.

Limitations
Certain skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV, V and VI) are contraindicated to IPL because of the risk of PIH (Post – Inflamation Hyperpigmentation). Generally speaking; men with darker skin tones are advised against treatment with IPL.

As a method for hair removal; IPL will have little to no effect on those with red, light blonde or white hair, as lighter hairs will reject this type of light.
