What's included

3 deliverables in this treatment

  • Skin assessment to confirm pigmentation type and contraindications
  • IPL session with appropriate filter selected for melanin or vascular target
  • Post-treatment sun protection guidance

ILK uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat both pigmentation disorders and diffuse facial redness through selective photothermolysis — the same principle as laser but using a broad-spectrum filtered light source rather than a monochromatic beam. For pigmentation (melasma, chloasma, freckles, solar lentigines), IPL targets melanin in the epidermis, heating and breaking apart the pigment clusters so they can be cleared by the skin's natural turnover. For facial redness and rosacea, the targeted chromophore is oxyhaemoglobin in the dilated capillaries — the IPL seals these vessels, reducing diffuse redness over 2–4 weeks. Small localised areas like a few spots can be treated from 600 Kč; comprehensive facial redness treatment covers the entire face for 5,000 Kč.

About this treatment

IPL at ILK is a versatile, non-ablative photorejuvenation modality that uses a flashlamp producing a broad spectrum of visible and near-infrared light, filtered to specific wavelength ranges to match the absorption peak of the target chromophore. Unlike a laser, which emits a single wavelength, IPL applies a range of wavelengths simultaneously — this makes it less wavelength-precise than a dedicated laser but highly flexible for addressing multiple…
