Experts at Laser and IPL Clinics on the Sunshine Coast can work with you to permanently remove unwanted body and facial hair as well as improve damaged skin.

Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapies are technologies used by beauty clinics to perform various skin treatments. While they are different techniques, they can be applied to many similar skin conditions. The main difference between the two is the kind of light source applied. IPL uses a broad-spectrum visible light, also known as light waves, while laser uses light energy and administers this to a precise location.

Laser provides quicker results than the IPL technique and focuses on smaller areas—reducing the risk of burning. Darker skin absorbs more light—so for people with darker skins, laser is usually preferable to IPL. Laser for hair removal offers fast, reliable, precise and permanent hair reduction. This therapy works by directing concentrated light into the follicle, inhibiting hair growth without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface.

Fully trained Sunshine Coast laser technicians can improve most skin surfaces and they can tailor hair removal treatments to you—creating a personalised treatment plan. There are a variety of specific issues that can be solved at your local laser and IPL clinic.

Laser can be used to ease pigmentation and redness, acne scarring, age spots, broken capillaries, unsightly veins, rosacea and sun damage. This therapy, known in clinics as laser rejuvenation, targets skin imperfections without causing damage to surrounding tissue. Laser can also be used to reduce wrinkles. A method known as a laser peel precisely removes the skin, layer by layer, until unblemished, wrinkle-free skin emerges.

Redness or spots gradually disappear over a few days after laser therapy. Once unwanted scars and pigmentation are removed, you may feel a lot more confident about your general appearance. Specialists usually recommend three treatments at six weekly intervals.

IPL stimulates the production of collagen, promotes new cell growth and can give you younger looking skin. These sessions are usually quicker than laser appointments. Patients generally require more sessions of IPL to get the same effect as laser treatments for skin conditions. If you require hair removal on the Sunshine Coast, this therapy takes around 6-12 treatments and is usually—but not limited—to people with fairer hair.

IPL machines safely target hair, pigment and broken capillaries while stimulating collagen. Like laser therapy, this type of skin rejuvenation is ideal for those with freckles, age spots, broken capillaries, rosacea and sun damage. IPL is a non-invasive solution and clinicians use anaesthetic cream to minimise any discomfort. It’s commonly used on the face, neck, chest and hands.
