IPL Treatments
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses broad pulses of light rather than a laser. The treatment can be adapted to focus on pigmentation, redness, or acne.
IPL Rejuvenation
Sun Spots & Uneven Tone
Targets sun-related brown spots and uneven pigmentation for a more even-looking complexion. Face, neck, décolleté, hand, and arm options are available.
Worth knowing: Different causes of pigmentation need different approaches; IPL is not suitable for every pigment concern or skin type.
IPL Redness & Vascular
Facial Redness & Visible Capillaries
Focuses on diffuse facial redness and small superficial vessels. It is a different treatment goal from lightening brown spots, even though both use IPL.
Worth knowing: The cause of the redness matters. A skin assessment helps distinguish a vascular concern from irritation or another condition.
IPL Acne
Breakout-Prone Skin
An option for mild to moderate inflammatory acne, with appointments for the face or face and neck. It can form part of a broader acne-care plan.
Worth knowing: Active breakouts, lingering dark marks, and indented acne scars are different concerns and may need different treatments.
Laser Treatments
Erbium:YAG Skin Resurfacing
Surface Texture & Fine Lines
Resurfaces the outer skin layers to improve rough texture and the appearance of fine lines. Unlike an IPL photofacial, resurfacing involves a healing period that depends on treatment intensity.
Planning: Dr. Chin reviews the area, expected downtime, and aftercare at a consultation before arranging treatment.

Laser Vein Treatment
Small Visible Vessels
A targeted treatment for individual small, superficial vessels, including appropriate spider veins. This differs from an IPL treatment aimed at more diffuse facial redness.
Worth knowing: This is not a treatment for large varicose veins. The type and location of the vessel determine the approach.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Gradual Tattoo Fading
Q-switched laser pulses target tattoo pigment. The tattoo's colors, size, location, and your skin all affect the degree of fading and the number of visits.
Planning: Multiple sessions are usually needed. Treatment and pricing are arranged after assessment rather than booked as a standard single visit.

Laser Hair Reduction
Unwanted Face & Body Hair
Laser treatment reduces unwanted hair over a course of visits. Choose from face and body areas, with the plan based on your skin, hair, and previous hair-removal methods.

Planning Your Treatment
We recommend a consultation before your first laser or IPL treatment. Bring your preferences and previous treatment details; we will review skin suitability, preparation, expected recovery, and the likely course of visits together.
