Is IPL Right For Me?
IPL may be suitable for you if you experience:
Sun damage or UV-induced pigmentation
Freckles, age spots or uneven tone
Facial redness, vascular lesions or broken capillaries
Dullness, rough texture or skin lacking clarity
Early signs of ageing or overall skin fatigue
IPL is generally best suited to Fitzpatrick skin types I–III, with some type IV clients approved after assessment.
A mandatory consultation and patch test are required at least 24–48 hours prior to your first full treatment to ensure your skin responds safely and predictably.Your skin will be thoroughly assessed so we can determine which IPL mode (pigmentation, vascular, or rejuvenation) is most effective for your concerns.
-
Your treatment begins with a calming cleanse and a cooling gel to prepare the skin. As the IPL pulses are delivered, you may feel a brief, warm “snap” sensation—comfortable and well-tolerated for most clients.
After your session, the skin may appear slightly flushed or warm, much like a mild sun-kissed effect. Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before naturally shedding over the following days. Vascular lesions often diffuse and fade progressively.
Each step is performed with attention and care to maintain the signature Althea experience—clinical precision delivered in a calm, nurturing environment.

Mild warmth or temporary redness may appear post-treatment, settling quickly. RF offers instant radiance with deeper firming effects developing gradually over a series of sessions.
