At Evolve Skin Aesthetics in Wollongong, we offer expert IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Skin Rejuvenation treatments to address a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation, sun damage, facial redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, and visible signs of ageing.

IPL for Pigmentation & Sun Damage | Fade Freckles & Age Spots

IPL is an advanced solution for treating sun spots, freckles, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone caused by UV exposure and ageing. Intense light pulses target excess melanin in the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles that naturally shed away. Over a series of treatments, dark spots fade, and the skin becomes visibly more radiant, smooth, and evenly toned—ideal for the face, chest, hands, and shoulders.

IPL for Rosacea & Redness | Broken Capillaries Treatment 

IPL is a clinically proven treatment for facial redness, broken capillaries, and rosacea. The light energy targets visible blood vessels beneath the surface, causing them to gently collapse and fade. This reduces chronic flushing and vascular redness improving overall skin clarity. It's a safe, effective solution for sensitive skin prone to rosacea or redness flare-ups. 

IPL Skin Rejuvenation | Anti-Ageing & Collagen Boost

IPL is also widely used as a skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing treatment, improving tone, texture, and luminosity. By stimulating collagen production and increasing cell turnover, IPL helps reduce fine lines, refine pores, and firm the skin. It’s an ideal treatment for dull, tired, or ageing skin that needs a boost—leaving your skin looking fresher, younger, and more vibrant.

How IPL Works

IPL uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to safely penetrate below the skin’s surface. Pigment and vascular irregularities absorb this light, which breaks them down so they can be naturally removed by the body. At the same time, the heat energy boosts collagen production, promoting firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

The most common areas to treat are:

What can I expect with IPL?

Immediately After IPL Treatment

Mild redness and slight swelling may occur, similar to a light sunburn. Skin may feel warm, tight, or sensitive to the touch. These effects typically subside within a few hours.

First 24–48 Hours after IPL

You may experience a lingering sunburn-like sensation. The skin may be sensitive to heat. Avoid hot showers, saunas, vigorous exercise, and harsh skincare products. Use only gentle cleansers and hydrating products.

Pigmentation Response from IPL

Dark spots or freckles may temporarily darken after treatment. These spots will gradually flake off over the next 7–14 days as the skin renews. Do not pick or exfoliate treated areas—allow the pigment to shed naturally.

Vascular Response from IPL

Treated areas may appear redder initially or show mild bruising. Broken capillaries and redness may darken before fading over several days. This is part of the body's natural healing response as treated vessels collapse and are absorbed.

Pain Level from IPL

IPL treatments are generally well tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a quick, warm snap—similar to the feeling of a rubber band flicking against the skin. You may also feel a brief heat or tingling sensation as the light pulses are delivered.



The level of discomfort varies depending on the treatment area, individual sensitivity, and the concern being targeted (e.g., pigmentation vs vascular lesions). Areas with thinner or more sensitive skin (like the upper lip or nose) may feel slightly more intense. Most clients find the treatment very manageable and experience no lingering pain afterward.

How many IPL sessions will I need?

The number of IPL sessions needed for optimal results will vary based on your skin concerns, treatment goals, skin type, and overall skin condition. Concerns like pigmentation, vascular lesions, or textural issues may require different approaches and treatment frequencies.



During your consultation, our dermal clinician and registered nurse will assess your skin and design a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Setting realistic expectations and staying consistent with your sessions is key to achieving the best outcome.

While many clients begin to see improvement after just one session, most benefit from a course of 2–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Patience and consistency are essential—as IPL results build gradually over time.

If you ever have questions or need guidance along the way, our team is here to support you. With the right approach, IPL therapy can deliver long-term improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity—helping you feel more confident in your skin for years to come

IPL Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To ensure optimal results and safety, follow these steps:

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for 4 weeks before your session
• Discontinue use of retinol, AHA/BHA, and exfoliants 1 week prior
• Do not wax, thread, or use depilatory creams on the area before treatment
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day

Carbon Facial

Laser-Activated Clarifying Treatment for Smooth, Radiant Skin

Duration: 60 mins | Results: Pore Refinement • Brightening • Detoxification I $250

The Carbon Facial — also known as the Hollywood Laser Peel — is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that combines the purifying power of medical-grade carbon with advanced Q-switched laser technology. This dual-action facial deeply cleanses, tightens pores, refines skin tone, and stimulates collagen — leaving the skin instantly refreshed, smooth, and luminous.

Suitable for most skin types, this no-downtime treatment is ideal before events, or as a monthly reset to keep the complexion looking clear and refined.

What’s Included:

Step 1: Clinical Cleanse

The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils, debris, and prepare for even carbon application.

Step 2: Medical-Grade Carbon Mask

A thin layer of activated carbon is applied to the skin. This carbon penetrates deeply into the pores, binding to dead cells, oil, bacteria, and environmental impurities.

Step 3: Q-Switched Laser Activation

A specialised Q-switched laser is passed over the skin, heating and vaporising the carbon particles. This process:

• Destroys bound impurities
• Deeply cleans pores
• Stimulates collagen and elastin production
• Helps smooth fine lines and uneven texture
• Visibly reduces pigmentation and dullness

Step 4: Enzymatic Treatment Mask

A gentle enzyme-based mask is applied to further exfoliate and rebalance the skin after laser activity — enhancing clarity and calmness.

Step 5: Prescribed Skin Booster

A prescribed skin booster to hydrate, elevate and protect. This step improves barrier function and supports long-term glow.

Step 6: Moisture & SPF

To finish, a moisture-rich cream that replenishes hydration and soothes the skin, followed by SPF to protect your refreshed complexion.



The perfect treatment for instantly brighter, deeply cleansed, and refined skin — with little to no downtime.

Ideal For:

• Oily or congested skin
• Enlarged pores and blackheads
• Surface pigmentation
• Fine lines and dullness
• Clients seeking a fast, effective skin refresh
  

Contraindications: Active acne lesions, open wounds, recent sun exposure, pregnancy, or photosensitising medications. (Skin consultation required.)

Performed using Q-switched laser and medical-grade carbon. Suitable for Fitzpatrick I–III; custom protocols required for darker skin types.
