IPL is a cosmetic skin treatment with a variety of uses. Remove unwanted hair from your body. Reduce signs of ageing and the appearance of scars. Minimise darker patches of skin and improve the appearance of acne and spider veins.
The treatment uses specific, filtered wavelengths of light to provide a range of effective treatments. IPL is different to laser hair removal based therapies that only produce a single wavelength of light and can therefore only treat a specific condition. Find out more below.

How Does Intense Pulsed Light Work?
The SkinBase IPL uses cut off filters to provide a range of wavelengths. These cut off filters selectively filter out the unwanted wavelengths of light. The remaining light is then used to treat a specific structure.
What Are The Benefits of Intense Pulsed Light?
IPL is a light based therapy that works by targeting structures within the skin such as melanin, blood, and water in collagen with wavelengths of light to breakdown the structure and improve the appearance of the skin.
What Can IPL Successfully Treat?
The SkinBase IPL can be used to treat a wide range of conditions successfully. Our therapists have had fantastic results from permanent hair reduction, acne treatments, thread vein removal, pigmentation, age spots, ageing skin.
What Is IPL Hair Removal?
IPL wavelengths reach the second layer of your skin, the dermis, without harming the top layer – the epidermis. Using a handheld device, your therapist is able to target multiple wavelengths of light into your skin. When it’s used as a hair removal treatment, IPL uses light to heat your hair follicles in the desired area and prevents the hair from regrowing. Gentle pulses of light are absorbed by the hair root to destroy the follicle. The hair then falls out and you will experience hair reduction in that area.
Shaving can be time consuming and does not last long. On the other hand, with six – eight sessions of IPL, 75%- 90% of hair growth can be prevented permanently.
SkinBase IPL
All treatments have potential side effects. By insisting on the highest standards of training and experience our IPL therapists ensure your treatments go without a hitch.
The SkinBase IPL device uses a unique cooling cryo-handset. The cryo-handset creates an anaesthetic effect on the skin surface to provide the most comfortable treatment experience.
One of the main contra-indications to treatment is an “active” sun tan on the area to be treated. Therefore sun exposure to the treatment area should be avoided one month pre and post treatment.

IPL for acne
Many people are left feeling lost after unsuccessfully trying an array of creams and lotions to treat acne. IPL is a reliable option for people with acne and works in three different ways.
The first is that it destroys bacteria on the skin. Whilst the underlying causes of acne vary from person to person, the cysts and blemishes themselves cannot happen without an influx of acne-causing bacteria. By destroying these bacteria, IPL removes one of the main culprits of acne.
The second way that IPL targets acne is that it prevents the over-production of sebum. The acne-causing bacteria feed on the sebum, and the sebum itself is what gets trapped in the pores to cause spots, so by reducing the amount of sebum being produced, it becomes more difficult for spots to form.
Finally, IPL dramatically reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production, which means that red, angry spots are minimised and scarring is reduced, for a greatly improved skin texture.

IPL for Vascular Lesions
Treat thread veins, rosacea and cherry angiomas with IPL using SkinBase Advanced therapies. Small blood vessels trapped near the surface of the skin are the cause of these skin issues and can have a really negative effect on body confidence. SkinBase IPL is a medically CE certified system which targets these issues by causing controlled damage to the blood vessels, which stimulates the body’s healing responses. When the body identifies the damaged vessels, it will naturally remove them, revealing healthy, flawless skin.

IPL for Pigmentation
Pigmentation from sun damage can take up to 20 years to appear, which means even if we start protecting skin now, we still have to deal with the damage done years ago. IPL is a great way of removing unwanted pigmentation; it breaks down the excess pigment in the skin, which stimulates the body’s healing response. This healing response removes the damaged pigment, leaving behind even-toned skin.
