Rejuvenation

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photo Rejuvenation uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to target specific chromophores in the skin — melanin (pigmentation) and oxyhaemoglobin (blood vessels). The light energy is absorbed by the target and broken down, while leaving surrounding tissue unaffected.

At DermaMedica, we use the Venus Versa™ platform — one of the most advanced IPL systems available — which delivers precise, consistent energy for safe and effective treatment of sun damage, age spots, freckles, rosacea and visible facial capillaries.

Results develop over a course of 3–5 sessions as pigmentation gradually rises to the surface and disperses. Skin tone becomes progressively more even and radiant with each treatment.

The treatment
process.

Chromophore Targeting

Light energy is calibrated to target melanin (for pigmentation) or oxyhaemoglobin (for vascular concerns). The target absorbs the energy and is broken down.

Natural Clearance

Pigmented lesions darken briefly then naturally flake away over 7–14 days. Treated blood vessels collapse and are reabsorbed by the body over several weeks.

Progressive Improvement

With each session, skin tone becomes more even and radiant. Most patients require 3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results.

Your Treatment Journey

Before

Avoid sun exposure and fake tan for 2 weeks prior. Arrive with clean skin. Sunscreen must be used throughout your treatment course.

During

A cool gel is applied and the IPL handpiece delivers short pulses of light. You will feel a snapping sensation. 30–45 minutes.

After

Mild redness for a few hours. Pigmented lesions may appear darker for 7–14 days before dispersing naturally. Sunscreen essential.

Results

Pigmentation responds over 7–14 days. Vascular concerns improve progressively. Full results visible 4 weeks after final session.

Course

3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Annual maintenance is recommended.

Everything you
need to know.

Does IPL hurt?

The sensation is often described as a brief snap or flick — like a rubber band. It is well-tolerated by most patients. A cooling tip minimises discomfort.

Will my pigmentation get worse before it gets better?

Yes, temporarily. Treated pigmented lesions darken for 7–14 days before naturally flaking away — this is a completely normal and expected part of the process.

Is IPL suitable for dark skin tones?

IPL is not suitable for very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick V–VI) due to the risk of treating melanin in the skin rather than just in the lesion. Your clinician will assess your skin type at consultation.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically 3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for a full treatment course.

Can IPL treat rosacea?

Yes — IPL is one of the most effective treatments for rosacea and facial redness, targeting the visible blood vessels that cause chronic redness.
