WHAT IS IPL?
ETHEREA IPL-Sq® uses light energy in the form of intense, ‘broad-spectrum’ light bursts that penetrate the skin. It employs various filters to refine the light energy, depending on the target. In this way, it is capable of treating a range of conditions.
ETHEREA IPL-Sq® Photo Rejuvenation can make a dramatic difference to the appearance of your skin. It can help restore a blotchy, ageing appearance to a more even, youthful and creamy complexion.
HOW ETHEREA IPL-SQ® WORKS
Etherea IPL-Sq® uses advanced technology that automatically determines the correct wavelength. The pulse of light passes through the surface of the skin (without damaging it) and is delivered precisely to the target, promoting a wound-healing process in which the skin rapidly produces new, undamaged skin cells.
THE ETHEREA IPL-SQ® DIFFERENCE
ETHEREA IPL-Sq® uses state of the art SQUARE-WAVE PULSE® technology, which, unlike other IPL systems, delivers completely even bursts of controlled, micro-processed energy. This minimises unwanted effects from variations in the energy impulse, and provides a more reliable outcome.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM ETHEREA IPL-SQ® PHOTO REJUVENATION?
If you have sun damaged akin, acne, pigmented or vascular lesions, it is likely that Etherea IPL-Sq® photo-rejuvenation will help you significantly. However, your practitioner will confirm the best treatment for you after a thorough examination of your skin.
IPL treatment should not be performed on skin that has been recently sun-tanned, or over-exposed to the sun.

REQUIRED NUMBER OF TREATMENTS
For best results, most people need a series of 3 – 5 treatments, each spaced about a month apart. The exact number of treatments will depend on the nature and extent of the problem being treated. You will be able to see some improvement after each treatment, until you achieve the desired result*.
*Results may vary from person to person
Unlike older IPL technology, the new advanced technology we offer includes a cryotherapy tip cooling system so that the head of the machine never heats up on the skin. You may leave with some slight redness on the treated areas and experience some tingling or minor sensitivity however the ultra safe settings and even distribution of the energy output prevents irritation and trauma to the skin.
SPF is required after the treatment course and exposure to the sun should be avoided to prevent the pigmentation returning.
Use of a melanin inhibiting serum or cream before and after treatment is recommended for best results which we prescribe for you.
The treatment targets the chromophore cell, heating and destroying the pigmented lesion with a pulsed light, allowing the body to get rid of the cells efficiently over the two week following the treatment. You can see results within days. It is not permanent, as UV radiation or hormonal factors can re trigger/stimulate your melanocytes and the pigmentation can return. Maintenance and home care are required to improve results.
Yearly sessions are recommended and always wear SPF to prevent the pigmentation from returning.
