Both men and women can be treated; however, IPL treatment is not always suitable for all skin colours. If you have Fitzpatrick skin types 5 or 6, we cannot use IPL on your skin as there is an unacceptable risk of causing pigment loss in the treated area.
Patients with light sensitivity should not have these light-based treatments. Their effects during pregnancy are unknown and we would therefore not commence treatment whilst you are pregnant. You should not have IPL/laser treatment whilst taking Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) for 12 months afterwards. A full assessment will be carried out to ensure the treatment is suitable for you. During your consultation, our expert therapists will guide you through to the most appropriate and suitable treatment plan, considering both your type of skin and skin concerns.
