Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is ipl?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light: a light therapy that uses flashes of light to target pigment and blood vessels in the skin. For hair removal, the pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which disables the hair follicle. For skin concerns such as rosacea, red patches or pigmentation spots, the light targets superficial vascular irregularities or pigment build-up. The result? A more even, calmer complexion.
who is an ipl treatment suitable for?
IPL is suitable for anyone who wants to reduce hair growth or treat skin concerns in a gentle, non-invasive way.
common indications
- unwanted hair growth on the face or body
- red patches on the face
- rosacea or couperose
- pigmentation spots or sun damage
- dull skin with an uneven complexion
The treatment works best on light skin with dark hair, but IPL is also effective for skin discolouration where no hair is involved.
smooth for longer without shaving or waxing
Many clients choose IPL to say goodbye to unwanted hair for the long term. It’s a comfortable method that targets and disables the hair follicle. Because hairs grow in different phases, six to eight treatments are needed on average. The result? Noticeably smoother skin and far less need for daily hair removal.

ipl for rosacea, red patches and pigmentation spots
Beyond hair removal, IPL is particularly effective for redness and pigmentation on the face. With rosacea and couperose, the flashes of light act on small superficial blood vessels, reducing redness. With pigmentation spots, the excess pigment is broken down and then naturally cleared by your skin. Over time, your skin looks more even and calmer.
results you can expect
The first visible results usually appear after a few treatments. Your skin feels smoother, looks calmer and becomes more even in tone. With hair removal, hair growth is greatly reduced. Depending on your skin type and indication, six to eight sessions are needed on average.
before and aftercare
- do not scratch any scabs
- avoid heat (sun, hot showers, sauna, exercise)
- avoid acids, retinol and scrubs
- use a good SPF
