FAQ's About IPL PhotoFacials

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a treatment where intense beams of light are shined intermittently on the surface of the skin to help pull up pigment and reduce pigmentation. This treatment targets pigment and vascular irregularities, smoothing out the skin’s tone and texture. IPL treatments also helps improve the appearance of sun spots, rosacea and brown spots.

By pulling up the dark and red pigments from the skin, IPL treatments help even out skin tone and reduce the effects of aging, leaving clients with younger, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.

Makeup can be used starting right after the treatment, as long as it is applied and removed very gently. Rarely, there is bruising, which can take 1-2 weeks to heal.  For freckles and age spots, the spots will look darker for about 3-7 days. Crusting can occur, which may last up to ten days. The spots will then begin to clear and will generally resolve in about 2 weeks.

There are some periods of very mild discomfort during an IPL treatment similar to that of the feeling of receiving laser hair removal, but overall an IPL treatment is not painful. Most clients compare IPL treatments to a snap of an elastic band against the skin. Others experience it as a very short pinprick. No anesthetic is required.

If you are lighter skinned and not tanning, you can generally have a treatment every 3-4 weeks. It also is dependent on the skin condition we are treating as acne facials with IPL can be performed  fortnightly.

*Please note that before any clinical facial treatments, we require any clients who are new or haven’t been to the salon in 3 months to have a Comprehensive In-Clinic Digital Skin Analysis with their treatment. If you are a Just Magic devotee, a complimentary 10 minute skin review with your facial treatment is perfect.

This is to ensure we have the full history of your skin and time to discuss future planning. When booking, please advise which option you would like.
