What to expect
Before any laser treatment at Advantage Skin Clinic your dermal clinician will have an in-depth consultation with you to discuss your treatment plan and goals, as well as relevant medical history that your clinician needs to be aware of. All patients will then sign a laser consent form before beginning the treatment. Your clinician will cleanse the treatment area before applying a pre-laser gel onto the skin. You will also be given protective glasses to wear.

FAQ’S
Can IPL be used on all skin types?
Those with darker skin types should avoid IPL treatment due to the risk of hypopigmentation (lightening) or hyperpigmentation (darkening) of the skin. There are other treatment options available to treat darker skin tones, please contact the clinic to find out more information.
Is IPL painful?
As with any laser treatment you may experience slight discomfort however this differs from patient to patient. IPL therapy can be likened to a rubber band snapping sensation on the skin.
