Intense pulsed light (IPL) removes skin pigmentation and restores an even skin colour.
There are several treatments available to rid yourself of unwanted skin pigmentation, but the newest and safest is Intense Pulsed Light Treatments.
What is Intense Pulsed Light Treatment (IPL, S IPL)?
Intense pulsed light is a laser like procedure that treats a combination of changes in the skin caused by sun damage making it ideal for many people. The intense light is pulsed on the skin (hence the name) and is absorbed by the brown or black of the skin pigmentation.
What can be treated with intense pulsed light?
Pulsed light effectively treats freckles,age spots, sun spots, birthmarks, facial capillaries and other unwanted skin pigmentation. We need to assess the type of pigmentation before treatment to ensure the lesions are harmless and safe to treat.

Thank you for the information regarding IPL treatments. I am interested in knowing the success rate and cost of this procedure and any subsequent procedures required. I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

Hi Luke, The success of S IPL treatments depends on the type of pigmentation. We diagnose the pigmentation first and from our experience (we do a lot of pigmentation and facial capillary treatments) we will also be able to give you a more accurate idea of expected outcomes of treatment.Most skin pigmentation responds very well, requiring 2-6 treatments and progressively fades unwanted brown and black spots or generalised pigmentation. The cost depends on the area to be treated. That is why we give free assessments, so you can meet us, we can go through what to expect and give you an accurate quote. Call us on 33505447 for a free assessment.

does anyone know if they remove dark circles under your eyes?
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 04 Feb 2008 at 6:58 am #
Hi Jenna, S IPL does not remove dark circles under the eye, in fact these are very hard to treat. Sometimes correctly placed filler can lessen the darkening, however you would need to come in and let us look at this before we could advise on this. Our assessments are free, so you should call and come in. The IPL is generally used for skin pigmentation caused from sun damage (including freckles) and the cause of darkening under the eye is very different in nature and not safe to treat with IPL.

I have pigmentation on my face that I want removed how do I know if the pulsed light will work for me, how much will it cost and where in Brisbane are you located. This pigmentation is really affecting me, I will not go out without makeup as I think it looks ugly. Can you help me please?

Hi Kelly, we do a lot of treatments to removal facial pigmentation and it is very common for women to want to fade pigmentation so they can go out without makeup on. We are located in Chermside North Brisbane, the best thing is to call us on 33505447 to book an assessment and once we see it we can tell you what is the best way to approach treatment for your pigmentation.

Hi Lulu, no IPL is not safe to remove skin pigmentation on people with black skin. Because the light therapy is attracted to elements of colour in the skin, it will be attracted to you normal skin pigment as well as the abnormal pigmentation and it risks burning, hypo or hyper pigmentation after the treatment. It is considered safe for skin type up to !V. It is important to have your skin type correctly assessed before treatment as well as the type of pigmentatio being treated.
regards Jo

I saw a beauty clinic at Chermside offering pigmentation removal treatments for $600.00. Do you use different machines than the ones used in beauty clinics? I am keen to remove some freakles and light pigmenation (and a bit of a spruce up - I am 46 years old) but I want to make sure the person in control of these machines is using the best equipment and has the right training.
What is the cost for one treatment of the whole face? (ball park figure is fine)
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 16 Mar 2009 at 4:52 pm #
Hi Denise, we use a high end medical grade Palomar machine. I am a medical Doctor and I either perform the treatment or supervise it. For a whole face treatment we charge $350 and when you are looking at photorejuvenation which with treat freckles and sun damage pigmentation it is best to look at a series of 4- 6 treatments spaced monthly. We do free consultations so you can come in and talk with us and we will explain everything as well as test patch to get the right treatment settling. Call us on 33505447 if you are interested in a free consultaton. regards Jo

My 11 year old son has white pigmentation spots on both sides of his jaw and below his ears, can the IPL reduce this?? It is starting to really become noticable and he is starting to get picked on at school more, the kids say he has cancer. I want a quick fix. Please help…
Dr Joanne Turner responded on 12 Jan 2010 at 1:16 pm #
Hi Molly, IPL is used to treat dark pigmentation spots only. I would suggest taking your son to your doctor to get a diagnosis of the cause and they will be able to let you know of any available treatment. regards Jo
