— IPL treatment —

When you visit our Mt Hawthorn clinic, our experienced technicians will work with you to design a treatment plan that suits your needs and your wallet. We offer high quality IPL treatments under the supervision of a qualified medical practitioner in our Perth clinic.

Before purchasing your hair removal package, our expert staff will advise you on how many sessions you will need. Most people require between 4-6 sessions to see a noticeable reduction in hair growth. Make sure you ask our staff about IPL hair removal in Perth deals on different packages that we offer.

Here’s what to expect from your IPL treatments in Perth:

Gel will be applied to the treatment area

You will be provided with eye protection during the procedure

The handpiece will slowly glide along the treatment area

You’ll experience a slight stinging sensation as the treatment commences, similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin

After your IPL in Perth treatment you can return to your regular activities

In most cases there are no visible effects; therefore treatment does not interfere with normal activities. The patient is required to shave and exfoliate the area a day or two before the treatment.

Slight redness may occur immediately after the treatment

For best results, the face should be treated every 4 weeks, and the body every 3 – 6 weeks.

Normally a minimum of 6 treatments are required. It is impossible to predict with certainty the amount of treatments that any particular patient will require, as at all times some of the hair follicles are dormant.

for fair hair it is important not to shave prior to the treatment as your skin will be waxed immediately before the IPL treatment is done.

After treatment the skin could swell and redden for a short time due to absorption of heat. Cooling after treatment can help this.

Mild Swelling and redness are common after any energy based treatment but generally settles quickly. Any discomfort can be treated with cooling towels.

There is a slight possibility of developing a crust or blister. This is superficial, rarely results in any scarring and can be treated like sunburn or any other blister. If any lesion concerns you contact Restoration Clinic as any requirement for an antibiotic cream will require a doctor’s prescription.

Brown spots and freckles could crust as a result of the treatment. It is important not to interfere with any flaking or crusting. Moisturiser can minimise the inconvenience from this side effect.

There is a slight possibility that some clients may experience hyperpigmentation (darker) or hypopigmentation (lighter) on the treated areas. These are generally temporary and will fade within 1-6 months.

Skincare Use – As this is a medical treatment, you must use products that are Laser/IPL friendly. Restoration Clinic has several choices of skincare and makeup available that are compatible with energy based treatments and damaged skin.

Once the blood vessel is closed the blood is unable to flow through it any longer. The vein walls eventually become reabsorbed by the body, generally becoming ultimately undetectable. Blood flow from the destroyed vein is normally redirected and picked up by healthier nearby veins.

Some vessels will have vanished by the time the bandages are removed.

 A few vessels will need a second treatment, and a few will not be accessible for injection at any given treatment session.

Depending on its size, a single
blood vessel may have to be injected more than once, but in any one treatment session a number of vessels may be injected.

 The solutions used vary somewhat with the size of the vessel to be injected, and your doctor will be able to decide which veins are to have which solution.

 Larger varicose veins often underlie spider veins. In such cases it is thought that it is best to treat these vessels first.

The type of treatment necessary is determined by the vascular ultrasound examination which gives a precise diagnosis of any major superficial vein abnormalities. If the varicose and reticular veins are treated first, often the spider veins that were connected to these will disappear over the following weeks without themselves being injected.

Because of this it may be advisable to space out the visits to allow maximal resolution of veins following each treatment, thereby minimising the number of treatments required.

 After several treatments, most patients can expect a significant improvement in treated vessels. However, the recovery process is gradual and perfection is seldom achieved.

Since Intense Pulsed Light targets pigment in multiple dermal layers, it can help even out skin tone and reduce pigment related conditions such as dark spots (hyperpigmentation) and vascular issues like rosacea and broken capillaries. The treatment may feel similar to a ‘laser hair removal’ session although the settings used will be customised for use in the treatment area.
