IPL can be an incredible tool for treating pigmentation — when it’s used on the right skin, at the right time, for the right reason.
When it comes to melasma, knowing whether you are a good candidate for IPL is just as important as knowing when you’re not. In some cases, IPL can worsen melasma if the skin barrier, hormones, or inflammation aren’t properly addressed first.
That’s why we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your skin health always comes before any device or treatment. During a consultation, we assess your skin thoroughly, look at contributing factors, and determine the safest, most effective next steps — whether that’s IPL, skin prep, barrier repair, or an alternative treatment plan altogether.
If you want results that are intentional, protective, and tailored to your skin, book a consultation with DermNurse and learn what your skin actually needs — through a customized, expert lens!
