Intense pulsed light is a non-invasive, non-ablative treatment that delivers high-intensity light into the deeper layers of the skin to improve fine lines and wrinkles, vascular lesions, redness, broken capillaries, and sunspots. The range and wavelength of the light emitted during the treatment can be adjusted to accommodate your specific skin needs and concerns. At Devoe Skincare we only offer the best technology currently available which is why we have chosen the SBMedical Strength device to deliver our IPL services. Also known as photo rejuvenation, intense pulsed light is a non-ablative treatment that emits intense, visible pulses of light onto a targeted area without damaging the surrounding skin. The light energy is absorbed by melanin (responsible for skin pigment) and haemoglobin(red blood cells in the blood vessels). As a result, these structures become damaged and are absorbed by the body or brought to the surface of the skin where they will slough off.
Intense pulsed light is successful in addressing fine lines and wrinkles, dark spots, visible capillaries, and redness While results may be visible after one session, a series of 3-5treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. Due to its non-ablative nature, intense pulsed light requires very little downtime and can be repeated once a month as advised by your clinical therapist or doctor. A patch test is required in every patient before commencing a course of IPL treatments. Patch tests must be carried out at least 72 hours prior to first treatment.

IPL for Age Spots and Pigmentation: IPL helps treat pigmentation by heating up the pigmented area but leaving the surrounding tissue alone and unharmed. This ‘damaged’ area on the surface of the skin is then removed by the body’s own natural exfoliation process.
IPL for Acne: If you have acne and you are looking for the best solution to get rid of it, then IPL is the solution you need. More and more doctors are recommending IPL for patients with severe acne. With just a few sessions and when used alongside your prescribed skincare products, IPL treatments can clear upeven the most extreme cases of facial acne and/or acne scarring. With alternatives like oral antibiotics that can be harmful to some patients, IPL therapy is a safe and easy option for acne removal.
When dealing with acne, IPL treatments generally utilize three filters or wavelengths: 420 nm or blue light, 560 nm of yellow light, and 590 nm of red light. These three filters provide their own properties: blue light destroys certain acne bacteria, yellow light tends to swollen acne lesions and the red light paralyzes overactive oil glands in the skin.
