IPL Skin Correction
What is IPL Skin Correction
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses multiple wavelengths to target different chromophores in the skin. By selecting specific wavelengths, IPL can address pigmentation, vascular changes, hair reduction, acne, and overall skin rejuvenation.
How it works
Pigmentation: Energy is absorbed by melanin to reduce sun damage, freckles, and age spots.
Vessels: Targeted haemoglobin absorption helps diminish redness and broken capillaries.
Hair reduction: Melanin in hair follicles absorbs energy to heat and damage the follicle, reducing regrowth.
Acne: Warms sebaceous glands and affects Propionibacterium acnes (Cutibacterium acnes), reducing bacterial load and inflammation.
Skin rejuvenation: Broad-spectrum light stimulates collagen remodeling and improves texture and tone.
For acne, IPL targets acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) by generating heat via porphyrins produced by the bacteria, which produces reactive oxygen species and helps reduce bacterial load and inflammatory mediators.
Brown spots commonly darken and micro‑crust before flaking off over 7–14 days, while redness diffuses gradually over a series of treatments.
For acne and skin rejuvenation, results vary with skin type, acne severity, and treatment parameters; your clinician will tailor settings to minimize risks like PIH.
Areas that can be treated
Face including forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and perioral areas.
Neck and décolletage.
Hands and forearms.
Selected body areas with sun damage or redness as assessed by your clinician.
IPL is not performed over tattoos or permanent makeup.
Who should delay treatment or seek medical clearance first
Recent tan or sunburn in the treatment area must fully resolve before treatment.
Active infection, cold sores, open wounds, dermatitis, or acne flares in the treatment area must resolve first.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding is commonly deferred for elective IPL.
Use of photosensitising medicines such as doxycycline or minocycline requires assessment and may require delaying treatment.
Oral isotretinoin within the last 6 months is commonly a reason to defer per clinic policy.
Fitzpatrick IV–VI or melasma‑prone skin requires cautious parameters and strict sun control to reduce PIH risk.
History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring requires caution.
Do not treat over tattoos, suspicious lesions, or diagnosed skin cancers; lesions of concern should be medically assessed first.
Recent dermal filler or anti‑wrinkle in the same treatment area should be timed appropriately as advised by your clinician.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines

For IPL hair reduction only, shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session and do not wax or pluck.
48–24 hours before
Mandatory spot test (test patch): a spot treatment must be performed in the intended treatment area 24–48 hours before the full session as per Queensland Radiation Health Guidelines and proceed to full treatment only if no adverse reaction is observed after the observation period.
Keep skin calm and well moisturised and avoid heat, vigorous exercise, or exfoliation.
Day of treatment
Arrive with clean, dry skin and no makeup, sunscreen, lotions, deodorant, perfume, or fake tan on the treatment area.

If instructed, you may gently rinse with cool or lukewarm water after several hours, then pat dry.
Use paracetamol if needed for discomfort and avoid NSAIDs or aspirin unless prescribed.
First 24–48 hours
Cleanse gently with a mild, fragrance‑free cleanser and lukewarm water, then pat dry.
Apply a bland moisturiser or simple hyaluronic acid serum as needed for dryness and tightness.
Avoid exercise, sweating, saunas, spas, hot yoga, hot showers, and swimming.
Sleep with your head elevated the first night and avoid alcohol and salty foods if swelling concerns you.
Days 2–5
Continue gentle cleansing and moisturiser.
Strict sun protection is essential with SPF 30+ daily plus hat and shade and prefer mineral sunscreen initially.
Do not use active ingredients on the treatment area including retinoids or Vitamin A, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, or strong Vitamin C and avoid scrubs, exfoliating devices, and fragranced or essential‑oil‑heavy products.
Avoid waxing, threading, or depilatory creams on the treatment area.
Days 5–7
If the skin is intact and fully calm and any flaking has resolved, gradually reintroduce gentle actives starting every 2–3 nights and increase as tolerated.
Delay professional peels, laser, or other aggressive treatments in the treatment area until cleared by your provider.
When to contact the clinic
Contact your provider promptly for signs of infection or unexpected reactions including worsening redness or heat after 48 hours, pus, fever, severe or asymmetric swelling, vision changes, severe pain, extensive bruising, or any reaction that concerns you.
Treatment course and expectations
Most clients need a series of sessions, commonly 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart depending on skin goals and settings, with maintenance as recommended by your clinic.
Results build gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen remodels and will vary based on your skin, treatment area, device parameters, and adherence to aftercare and sun protection.
HIFU (High‑Intensity Focused Ultrasound)
What is HIFU?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to create precise thermal coagulation points at controlled depths in the skin and superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS).
These micro‑injuries trigger collagen remodelling and gradual tightening and lifting without injuring the skin surface.
Results build progressively over 8–12 weeks and can continue to improve for up to 6 months, with longevity influenced by age, skin quality, lifestyle, and sun care.
Areas that can be treated
Brow and forehead for a subtle brow lift.
Periorbital area for mild eyelid hooding and crow’s feet (within safe parameters).
Cheeks, jawline, and lower face for contour and tightening.
Under‑chin and neck for laxity and definition.
Décolletage for fine lines and crepey skin.
Select body areas for mild laxity such as upper arms, abdomen, flanks, thighs, above knees, and buttock crease.
Who should delay treatment or seek medical clearance first
Pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally deferred.
Active skin infection, acne cysts, cold sore on or near the treatment area, open wounds, dermatitis, or sunburn must resolve first.
Severe or uncontrolled medical conditions including uncontrolled diabetes, connective tissue or autoimmune disease in flare, or significant neurologic disorders require assessment.
Active cancer or current chemotherapy or radiotherapy requires medical clearance.
Bleeding disorders or current anticoagulant therapy may increase bruising risk and require clinician assessment.
Recent dermal filler or anti‑wrinkle in the same treatment area should be timed appropriately; many clinics perform HIFU first or space treatments by at least 2–4 weeks depending on the product and area.
Metal dental work is common and generally acceptable; advise your clinician if you have implants or hardware in the treatment area.
Avoid direct treatment over the thyroid, carotid sinus, infected glands, or over known skin cancers or suspicious lesions.
History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring is a relative caution and requires clinician assessment.
Reduced skin sensation or neuropathy in the treatment area requires caution due to altered feedback.

Plasma Pen (Fibroblast Skin Tightening)
What is fibroblast skin tightening?
Plasma Pen creates a tiny plasma arc just above the skin to form controlled micro‑injuries at the surface.
These points contract and tighten superficial skin and stimulate fibroblasts for collagen and elastin remodelling over weeks to months.
Small carbon crusts form at each dot and naturally shed as the skin heals.
Areas that can be treated
Upper eyelids (kept a safe distance from the lash line, per Plasma Pen safety guidance).
Lower eyelids and under‑eye crepeyness.
Crow’s feet and lateral eye lines.
Glabella (frown lines) and horizontal forehead lines.
Upper lip and fine perioral lines.
Nasolabial and marionette lines.
Cheeks with fine crepeyness and mild laxity.
Jawline refinement for mild skin laxity.
Neck lines and mild neck laxity.
Abdomen for mild laxity and crepey skin, including around the navel.
Stretch marks and crepey skin on areas such as knees and elbows.
Not suitable over tattoos, moles, suspicious lesions, active acne, or broken skin.
Who should delay treatment or seek medical clearance first
Fitzpatrick IV–VI or anyone prone to hyperpigmentation requires cautious settings and strict sun management due to higher PIH risk.
Recent sunburn or a dark recent tan must fully resolve before treatment.
Active infection, dermatitis, rosacea flare, active acne, a cold sore on or near the area, or open wounds should be treated first.
Pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally deferred.
History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring requires caution.
Uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppression, connective tissue disease, or poor wound healing should be discussed with your clinician.
Current anticoagulant therapy or a bleeding tendency needs assessment.
Oral isotretinoin within the last 6–12 months is commonly a reason to defer per clinic policy.
Photosensitising medicines should be disclosed to your provider.
Recent dermal filler or anti‑wrinkle in the target area should be spaced as advised (often at least 2–4 weeks before or after).
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
Daily (ongoing)
Apply a broad‑spectrum SPF 30+ every morning and reapply if outdoors.
Use a gentle cleanser and bland moisturiser and avoid introducing new actives close to treatment.
4 weeks before
Avoid tanning beds, deliberate tanning, and self‑tanner on the area.
Minimise UV exposure and begin diligent sun protection to reduce pigment risk.
2 weeks before
Avoid professional peels, laser/IPL, microneedling, microdermabrasion, and other energy‑based treatments on the area.
If you are prone to cold sores near the area, speak with your GP or pharmacist about antiviral prophylaxis.
1 week before
Stop active skincare on the area including Vitamin A (retinoids/retinol/tretinoin), AHAs (glycolic/lactic), BHAs (salicylic), benzoyl peroxide, and strong Vitamin C (L‑ascorbic acid).
Avoid exfoliating scrubs, cleansing brushes, devices, waxing, threading, and depilatory creams on the area.
3–5 days before
If appropriate for you, avoid non‑prescription NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen and high‑bleeding‑risk supplements such as fish oil/omega‑3, high‑dose Vitamin E, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, and turmeric.
Do not stop prescribed medicines without medical advice.
24–48 hours before
Keep skin calm and well moisturised and avoid heat exposure, vigorous exercise, alcohol, and active products.
Arrive with clean, dry skin and no makeup, sunscreen, moisturiser, perfume, or fake tan on the area.
Day of treatment
A topical anaesthetic may be used per clinic protocol.
Photography and treatment mapping may be performed to guide safe dot placement and avoid restricted zones such as the eyelid margin.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
Expected reactions
Redness, warmth, tightness, and a grid of small brown carbon crusts at each treatment dot are expected.
Swelling is common, especially around the eyes, may increase over the first 24 hours, often peaks by Day 2, and typically begins settling by Day 3–4.
Carbon crusts generally shed between Days 5–7 on the face and may take up to 10–14 days on body areas.
Pinkness can persist after crusts fall for 2–8 weeks and gradually blends with your skin tone.
Results evolve over 8–12 weeks as collagen remodels and may continue to improve for several months.
First 24–48 hours
Keep the area clean and dry and follow the Plasma Pen aftercare balm or gel instructions provided by your clinic.
Do not pick, rub, or disturb the carbon crusts and allow them to fall off naturally.
Sleep with your head elevated to help reduce swelling and consider a non‑sedating antihistamine if advised by your clinician.
Use brief cool compresses for comfort (wrapped, not direct ice) and avoid heat exposure, saunas, spas, hot showers, and strenuous exercise.
Avoid alcohol and salty foods which can worsen swelling.
Use paracetamol for discomfort and avoid NSAIDs or aspirin unless prescribed.
Days 2–7
Cleanse very gently as instructed by your provider, usually with tepid water and a non‑foaming, fragrance‑free cleanser, then pat dry.
Reapply the recommended aftercare balm thinly to maintain a protective film without occluding the skin.
Avoid makeup until crusts have shed; if makeup is later used, choose mineral formulas with clean tools.
Do not use active skincare including retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, strong Vitamin C, scrubs, cleansing brushes, or acids.
Avoid exfoliation and do not cover the area with occlusive plasters or heavy ointments not recommended by your clinic.
Strict sun avoidance and SPF 50+ are essential whenever outdoors and continue for a minimum of 8–12 weeks to reduce pigment risk.
Weeks 2–4
After all crusts have fallen and the skin is intact and calm, you may transition from the aftercare balm to a bland moisturiser.
Gentle actives can be reintroduced cautiously after 2 weeks if the area is fully settled and only with your provider’s guidance.
Persistent pinkness may be camouflaged with mineral makeup and will fade over time with diligent sun protection.
Restrictions and safety
Do not pick, scratch, or peel crusts as this can cause scarring or pigmentation changes.
Do not treat over tattoos, moles, or suspicious lesions and avoid the eyelid margin and mucosal areas as directed by your clinician.
Avoid facials, peels, laser/IPL, microneedling, and waxing on the treated area until your provider clears you, often 4–6 weeks.
Avoid swimming pools, spas, and the ocean until all crusts have shed and the skin barrier is intact.
When to contact the clinic
Contact your provider promptly for increasing redness or heat after 48 hours, pus, spreading tenderness, fever, severe or asymmetric swelling, new blisters, or any unexpected reaction.
Report any signs of post‑inflammatory hyperpigmentation such as dark patches so your provider can advise on pigment‑calming skincare and sun measures.
Treatment course and expectations
Most clients need 1–3 sessions for an area depending on laxity and goals, spaced a minimum of 8–12 weeks apart to allow full collagen remodelling.
Outcomes vary by skin type, laxity, lifestyle, and sun care, and maintenance may be recommended.
