Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Now Available at Ageless Clinics

IPL uses broad spectrum light to target pigment, redness and uneven tone in a single treatment, tailored to your skin during a consultation with Dr Maryam.

Some people want to reduce the appearance of sun damage, redness or uneven tone. At Ageless Clinics, this begins with a consultation with Dr Maryam.

Dr Maryam assesses your skin, reviews your medical history, and discusses whether IPL or another approach may be appropriate for your individual circumstances.

How your skin responds depends on factors including your skin type, tone and the concern being treated. Any change in appearance varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

What IPL can help with

One session, several concerns. Your treatment plan is set during your consultation, based on your skin.

Sun damage: Targets pigment built up from years of sun exposure.

Redness & rosacea: Addresses visible blood vessels and persistent facial redness.

Uneven tone: Works on patchy or inconsistent pigmentation across the face.

Broken capillaries: Treats small visible vessels close to the skin's surface.

Broad spectrum light, one session at a time.

IPL delivers pulses of light across multiple wavelengths. Pigment and blood vessels absorb this light and convert it to heat, which the treatment uses to target the concern.

Because IPL covers a broader range than a single-wavelength laser, one session can address more than one concern at a time, depending on what your skin needs.

Dr Maryam assesses your skin at consultation and builds a treatment plan around your concerns. A consultation is required before any treatment.
