Generally skin needling is best to treat this type of acne scar/ pigmentation or prescription treatments. The best thing would be to come in for a consultation at the outset. Once we assess the pigmentation type we will be able to give you advise as to what treatment approach is best. regards Dr Jo The Intense pulsed light is generally not the best treatment for post acne hyperpigmentation.

IPL cannot be used on lips and it is not safe to use on whilst tanning (from injections or otherwise). I did not know the Melotan was commercially available yet.. your best bet is to talk to the Doctors over seeing your treatment. Jo Hi Mel, unfortunately the answer is no to both questions.

The melasma does not respond to ipl, in fact it can make it worse, but there are some prescription treatments we can try that have a reasonable chance of clearing this. If is best to book in with one of our doctors, there is a charge with these consultations, but it is claimable on medicare, you should get all but $12 back on Medicare. Call us on 33505447 to book a consultation. regards Jo Hi Jacquelyn,

I have never had this "stained" look before and im finding it frustrating and embarassing. A year and half ago i was put on a very high estrogen pill to counteract painful menstration and having been to the beach a few times it has noticeably reacted. i have had ipl treatments only to find out after reading your sight that it was wrongly diagnosed-ipl has not helped in any way. I have sinced changed the pill, but desparate to get rid of the brown patches on my cheeks, forhead and lips. my doctor informed me that i might need laser treatment....im needing advice. thank you Jacquelyn Hi Doctor

We would need to assess your skin type to say if the IPL could be used to treat your sun spots. The initial consultation is free including the skin typing, so you should book in for a free consult and if there is a Medical treatment required Serina will get you booked in with one of our Doctors for prescription treatment. There is a charge with the medical consult, but this is claimable on Medicare. Call us on 33505447 if you want to book and initial consultation.

I would love to get rid of them, however, I heard IPL is only works for fair skin. Is it true? In that case, what can I do because I've got kind of olive skin.
