IPL treatment is a procedure that treats a combination of changes of premature ageing in the skin caused by sun damage (pigmentation and facial vessels) as well as rosacea and permanent hair reduction. It is also an effective acne treatment.
What is IPL – (Intense Pulsed Light) Treatment?
IPL is a non invasive medical technology that uses light therapy for permanent hair reduction, eliminating age spots, sun spots, freckles and other unsightly discolourations of the skin, superficial capillaries and other benign vascular lesions. It is also particularly effective for a high percentage of people with rosacea.
How does IPL work?
The treatment is applied by placing a hand-held treatment unit on your skin. This generates an intense pulse of light into the skin which is absorbed by elements with colour in the skin. The IPL also eliminates hair, employing a method known as selective photothermolysis. This involves disabling hair growth mechanisms by raising the temperature of the hair follicle high enough to damage the follicles germinative cells without damaging the skin and surrounding surface.
The chromophores include melanin- brown (in pigmented areas) and haemosiderin- red (in blood vessels). Once the photons from the light hit the chromophore it turns to heat energy, destroying these abnormal areas, but leaving the healthy skin unscathed.
What can be treated with IPL?
Clover Beauty offers a range of cost effective and professional treatments including:-
Clover Beauty offers permanent hair reduction. This means that in most cases the majority of hair will not return after a short series of treatment. This course of treatment varies from person to person, but will usually be about 6 – 8 regular sessions possibly about a month to three months apart.
The hair that is going to disappear for good will usually stop growing within this initial course, with any residual hair growth being finer, softer, lighter in colour and regrowing at a dramatically slower rate. This residual hair growth can be left alone, or you can have occasional maintenance treatments, which can vary from a few months apart to once a year.
The degree of hair loss and the time taken to get results will vary from person to person as there are many factors that can influence hair growth.
For maximum results you need to follow the initial course regularly as recommended by your therapist.

Most people may be treated with S-IPL. People with dark skin types, are more prone to risk of hypo and hyperpigmentation, and therefore may not be suitable candidates.
You may feel a slight pinch such as that of a snap of a rubber band, but no local anaesthesia or pain medication is required.
With hair removal, the level of pain reduces with each treatment as there is less hair to treat.
With pigmentation treatments, again the level of pain reduces with each treatment as the amount of pigment is reduced.
You may experience some short-term effects. This may include slight reddening of the skin or local swelling which goes away within a few hours.
You can return to work the same day and resume all regular activities. Treated areas must be kept protected from the sun for six weeks after treatment.
The number of treatments varies from person to person. After your initial consultation your therapist will be able to give an estimated quote for your treatments.
