IPL Photorejuvenation

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photorejuvenation to treat pigmentation, redness, broken capillaries, sun spots, and rosacea on the face. Broad-spectrum filtered light targets melanin and oxyhemoglobin to reduce visible pigmentation and vascular redness. Full face 45 minutes from $300 AUD; half face 30 minutes from $175 AUD. Multiple sessions recommended for progressive improvement.

IPL Photorejuvenation at Fresh Clinics Melbourne uses an Intense Pulsed Light device that emits a broad-spectrum flash of filtered light across the skin surface, targeting two primary chromophores: melanin in pigmented lesions and oxyhemoglobin in blood vessels. Cut-off filters select the appropriate wavelength range for the patient's primary concern, allowing the same platform to treat both pigmented and vascular conditions in a single session or in sequential passes. For pigmented lesions — including solar lentigines (sunspots), freckles, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and diffuse uneven skin tone from photodamage — the light energy is absorbed by the melanin granules within the pigment cells, generating heat that damages the pigment-producing melanocytes and darkens the superficial lesion; the darkened pigment then exfoliates naturally over seven to fourteen days, revealing clearer skin beneath. For vascular concerns — including facial telangiectasia, broken capillaries, rosacea diffuse redness, and cherry angiomas — the light energy targets oxyhaemoglobin in the abnormal vessels, heating the vessel wall and causing controlled thermocoagulation and progressive vessel clearance. Melbourne patients commonly combine IPL with CO2 laser or RF microneedling in a layered programme for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Full-face sessions run approximately 45 minutes from $300 AUD; half-face coverage is available in 30 minutes from $175 AUD. Mild temporary redness and expected darkening of treated pigment spots are post-treatment findings that typically resolve within three to seven days. A course of three to five sessions spaced four weeks apart is associated with the best cumulative improvement at this St Kilda, Melbourne location.
