Exilite IPL (Laser Hair Removal & Photorejuvenation)

Exilite IPL is an intense-pulsed-light platform used for permanent hair reduction and for photorejuvenation that fades pigmentation, calms redness from broken vessels, helps acne-prone skin and gives a light-tightening lifting effect. Pulses of broad-spectrum light are absorbed by the target — hair pigment, excess melanin or vessels — heating and disabling it while sparing surrounding skin. At BB Health Clinic it is priced per area for hair removal and per zone for facelifting photorejuvenation. It suits clients wanting smoother hair-free skin or a more even, refreshed complexion.

Exilite is an intense pulsed light (IPL) system that treats several concerns by tuning broad-spectrum light to be absorbed selectively by different targets in the skin. For permanent hair reduction, the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft and follicle, where it converts to heat and disables the follicle's ability to regrow hair; because hairs are only vulnerable during their active growth phase, a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart is needed to catch them all. For photorejuvenation — what the clinic calls Exilite Facelifting — the same platform targets excess melanin to fade sun and age spots, haemoglobin in fine broken vessels to reduce redness, and overactive sebaceous activity to help acne-prone skin, while the gentle heat also stimulates a light tightening and refreshing of the complexion. At BB Health Clinic the treated area is cleansed and a cooled applicator delivers the light pulses, which feel like a quick warm snap; eye protection is worn. Sessions are short — a few minutes for a small zone, longer for larger areas — with no real downtime beyond possible brief redness or warmth. For hair removal the clinic prices each area individually, from the face and underarms up to the legs and back; for photorejuvenation it prices facial zones and offers a discounted four-session facelifting course as well as a face-plus-neck-and-décolleté option. IPL hair reduction works best on darker hair against lighter skin and is suited to adults wanting to reduce unwanted hair long-term; photorejuvenation suits those with sun damage, uneven tone, persistent facial redness or dull skin who want a brighter, more even complexion. Both are courses rather than one-offs, and diligent sun protection before and after is essential — IPL is not performed on recently tanned skin. It is avoided over certain lesions and in pregnancy, and the practitioner confirms suitability and skin type at the consultation.
