IPL Laser

The MediLight High Intensity Treatment

Low Risk. Photon Pulse Train™ Technology Makes The Difference.

The IPL Is The Tried And True Workhorse Of The Practice

The IPL gets rid of hair. Photofacials are excellent at reversing the effects of sun damage on the skin. Acne and skin issues fall under its treatment umbrella. It's effective on rosacea and telangictasias. It even boosts collagen production, to help with fine lines and wrinkles.

Power. Speed. Reliability. The MediLight IPL ticks the boxes.

Evolving IPL Treatment With Single-Pass Operation

Most IPL devices aren't able to bring their full power on a target area for long. Energy concentrated in a single spot for prolonged periods means heat. A lot of it. This leads to burned skin.

IPLs utilize pulses to gradually build the energy to lessen the risk. Between each pulse the IPL would rest, to let the skin cool.

The MediLight IPL goes even further, leveraging unique Photo Pulse Train™ technology to break these pulses into even shorter "sub-pulses." Each at fractions of a second. This allows more energy to be brought to bear on the skin, more quickly, without damaging the body.

Most similar devices require multiple passes with a handpiece to complete treatment. The MediLight needs just one.

What can I expect during the Medlite Laser Treatment?

Your skin will be cleansed prior to treatment if you have make-up or sunscreen on. You will have protective eye-goggles placed over your eyes. The laser will be adjusted to your skin-tone. The laser is often described as a snapping or tingling sensation when the energy is being delivered. This sensation is brief only during the laser delivery. Afterwards, post treatment sunscreen will be applied.

Is there any downtime?

Most regular daily activities can be resumed after your treatment. You can put sunblock and makeup on directly after your visit. During your treatment course we advise you avoid extended sun exposure and when you are outside- wear sunscreen protection. The day of your treatment we advise no working out, hot showers, steam or sauna rooms and avoidance of sun exposure afterwards.

Are there any skin types who cannot receive IPL treatments?

IPL lasers are indicated for skin types I-III and some type IVs. We will assess your skin type during our consultation before any treatments are started.

How can I make the Medlite Laser results last?

The best way to make the Medlite Laser results last is to avoid sun exposure. This means that you need to wear a hat in direct sunlight and wear sunscreen everyday even if you are not planning on spending time outside. Even when it is not sunny you are still getting UVA exposure which is the type of sunlight that penetrates clouds and glass. You also need to continue the appropriate skin care regimen that may include retinol, hydroquinone, kojic acid, lactic acid or other ingredients.
