What Is IPL Treatment?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to target multiple chromophores. A chromophore is part of a molecule that absorbs certain colours of light and reflects others, which is what gives things their colour. For example, the chromophore in blood makes it look red, and the chromophore in your skin makes freckles look darker than the rest of your skin.
Because IPL uses a broad spectrum light, multiple concerns can be corrected within the same treatment, making it a popular option!
Some of the reasons people select IPL treatment at Queensland Skin and Laser, include: skin rejuvenation, removing unwanted pigmentation or vascular lesions; improving skin laxity; or removing unwanted hair.
IPL Treatment Brisbane utilises broad-spectrum light to target sunspots, redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, fine lines, and scarring.

Am I a Suitable Candidate
for IPL Treatment?
Suitable candidates for IPL treatment for pigmentation and skin rejuvenation generally have concerns such as sunspots, freckles, uneven pigmentation, rosacea, broken capillaries, fine lines, mild scarring, or unwanted dark hair. Individuals with light to medium skin tones typically respond best, as higher melanin levels in darker skin can increase the risk of adverse effects.
Therefore, a thorough assessment of skin type, medical history, and treatment goals is essential to determine safety and effectiveness.
Moreover, IPL Treatments are best for those looking for non-invasive skin rejuvenation and are committed to following aftercare instructions and sun protection for optimal results.
HOW DOES IPL TREATMENT WORK for pigmentation & skin rejuvenation?
In IPL pigmentation and skin rejuvenation treatments, chromophores are the natural targets in the skin that absorb light energy. The main skin chromophores are:
- Melanin – the pigment in hair and skin, targeted in pigmentation and hair removal treatments
- Haemoglobin – found in blood vessels, targeted in rosacea, broken capillaries, and vascular treatments.
- Water – present throughout the skin, targeted in skin rejuvenation.
Our IPL treatments focus on specific chromophores without damaging the surrounding tissue. Using various filters, the light energy is refined depending on your individual skin concern. The light passes safely through the skin, stimulating the production of new, healthy cells and collagen.
This process not only smooths fine lines and improves skin texture but also helps to reduce pigmentation, calm redness by shrinking visible blood vessels, and target hair follicles to reduce unwanted hair, all part of effective skin rejuvenation with IPL at Queensland Skin and Laser.

IPL Treattment in Brisbane for Pigmentation & Skin Rejuvenation
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin type, and discuss your medical history and treatment goals. Our professionals will determine the safety and effectiveness of an IPL treatment and develop a personalised plan based on your concerns and long-term goals. Preparation usually includes avoiding sun exposure, fake tan, waxing, or active skincare for 1–2 weeks before treatment.
Procedure
On the day of your IPL treatment, you’ll need to arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and avoid using any fragrances near the treatment area. Let your clinician know if you’ve had any recent skin treatments or reactions. Depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the depth of treatment, a numbing cream may be applied for comfort. During the procedure, it’s common to feel a warm, stinging, or snapping sensation.
Recovery
After your IPL treatment, the first 24–48 hours are all about soothing and protecting your skin. You may use a cool compress if needed and should stick to gentle, non-active skincare such as a mild cleanser and moisturiser. During this time, it’s important to avoid makeup, hot showers, vigorous exercise, saunas, and swimming. Over the following 7–10 days, pigmentation may darken before naturally flaking off, so avoid picking or scratching. Focus on hydrating serums, barrier-strengthening moisturisers, and daily SPF 30+ sun protection.
Results
Results develop gradually — you may notice improved clarity and brightness within 1–2 weeks. A series of 3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is typically recommended for best results. Maintenance treatments may be required every 12 months.
How Much Does IPL
Cost IN BRISBANE?
The cost of IPL treatment for pigmentation and skin rejuvenation depends on the number of sessions required, the areas being treated and your individual goals. However, a rough guide is given below:

- IPL Large Area (e.g., Full Arms) – from $500
- Packages are available for multiple, pre-paid sessions
During your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of costs tailored to your personalised IPL treatment plan.
Possible Risks or Side Effects of IPL TREATMENT
Like any skin treatment, IPL comes with some potential risks and side effects. It’s common to experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area, which usually settles within a few hours to days. Your skin may also feel warm and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. In some cases, pigmentation can darken before flaking away.
Rare side effects may include blistering, changes in skin colour, or scarring. Thus, our clinician will discuss your individual risk factors during your initial consultation and guide you on how to care for your skin to support safe healing and the best possible results from an IPL treatment for pigmentation and skin rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions
About IPL SKIN REJUVENATION
What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and how does it work?
IPL is a non-invasive, broad-spectrum light treatment targeting concerns like pigmentation, broken capillaries, age spots, rosacea, sun damage, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone. It uses multiple wavelengths to penetrate the skin, breaking down pigmented cells and hemoglobin, while encouraging collagen production for smoother, firmer skin.
What can IPL treat specifically?
IPL addresses a wide range of skin issues, including fine lines, freckles, age spots, sun damage, rosacea, broken capillaries, vascular lesions, and acne scarring. Book a complimentary IPL consultation at Queensland Skin and Laser to determine if you are a good candidate for IPL treatment.
Is IPL for pigmentation and skin rejuvenation painful?
During your treatment, you may feel a warm snapping or stinging sensation—similar to a rubber band flick. Numbing cream can be applied beforehand to reduce discomfort. We perform IPL test patches in our initial skin consultations to assess a patient’s skin reaction, optimise treatment settings, and give patients insight to the sensation of the treatment!
Who is an ideal candidate for IPL treatment for pigmentation?
IPL treatment for pigmentation works best for individuals with lighter skin tones and darker pigmentation or hair, as high contrast improves light absorption. It’s generally less effective (and carries increased risk) for darker skin tones. Consult with our clinicians to ensure suitability during a complimentary skin consultation.
Are there side effects or downtime after IPL?
You can expect temporary redness, swelling, and some darkening of pigmentation immediately after treatment. Your skin may also feel warm and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually settles within a few hours to a few days. Pigmented spots may become more visible as they darken before naturally flaking away during the skin’s renewal process.
Rare side effects may include blistering, changes in skin colour, or scarring. An initial skin consultation with one of our experienced clinicians is essential to determine your individual risk factors.
How does IPL compare to laser treatments?
IPL and laser treatments are both light-based therapies, but they work a little differently. IPL treatment for pigmentation and skin rejuvenation uses a broad spectrum of light, making it versatile for treating concerns like sun damage, redness, and pigmentation across larger areas. Laser treatments use a single, focused wavelength of light, which can target specific issues more precisely. IPL is often chosen for overall pigmentation and skin rejuvenation, while lasers are best for more targeted concerns.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
