FAQsInnovative Skincare with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL), also called Intense Pulsed Light therapy, is the gold standard treatment for skin rejuvenation and treating broken capillaries, sun damage and pigmentation.
At Shire Aesthetics, we offer advanced IPL treatment in Sydney tailored to your unique needs and skin concerns, using a state-of-the-art IPL M22 System. From tattoo removal and reducing varicose veins to the treatment of vascular lesions and skin pigmentation, we’re here to assist you.
What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment?
IPL treatment harnesses the power of broad-spectrum light energy to target and treat various skin concerns. Unlike other skin laser treatments which use a single wavelength of light, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, allowing it to address a range of issues simultaneously.
At Shire Aesthetics, our sophisticated machine allows us to vary the parameters to target specific conditions. Some full facial treatments last just 10 minutes.
- Q-Switched Nd: YAG – Skin toning and tattoo removal
- Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser – Melasma, a hormonal induced pigment
- Universal IPL – Photo rejuvenation of the skin and pigmentation/rosacea
- Multispot Nd: YAG – Treatment of leg veins and vascular lesions
What Can Intense Pulsed Light Therapy Treat?
Sun Damage
Intense pulsed light therapy is used to reduce the appearance of sunspots, freckles, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure.
Acne
Intense pulsed light is used for clearing acne breakouts and reducing inflammation and redness associated with acne-prone skin. Microneedling and fractional laser skin resurfacing, however, are more effective for acne scarring.
Hair Removal
It is effective laser hair removal and is used for permanently reducing unwanted hair on various areas of the body, including the face, legs, bikini line, and underarms.
Tattoo removal
Intense pulsed light can effectively target and break down tattoo ink particles, gradually fading the appearance of tattoos over multiple treatment sessions.
Vascular Lesions
We can target and diminish the appearance of broken capillaries, spider veins, and redness caused by rosacea.

Lightening and evening out skin tone, including melasma, age spots, and hyperpigmentation

Process at Shire Aesthetics?
Consultation
Your first consultation with our cosmetic physician includes a skin assessment and discussing your medical history and expectations. Once satisfied, your individual treatment plan will be discussed in detail, and you will be given a date for the procedure.
Treatment
During your Intense Pulsed Laser therapy session, a handheld IPL device is gently applied to the skin, delivering pulses of light energy. You may experience a mild sensation of heat or snapping during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal.
Recovery and Results
Following your IPL treatment, you may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Over the coming weeks, patients notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of your skin as pigmentation fades, redness diminishes, and overall tone and texture improve. For optimal results, a series of IPL treatments may be recommended.
