Treatments / Laser and light

IPL photofacial, River Heights, Winnipeg

Broad-spectrum light that targets brown sun spots and small red vessels. Spots darken and flake off over a week; redness fades over the series. It’s for lighter skin tones only, and only on untanned skin, which is why it runs October to May.

A good fit if

  • Sun spots, freckling or redness on lighter skin
  • You can stay out of the sun during the series
  • You’d rather not have downtime beyond a few darker spots

Not for you if

  • Deeper skin tones (we’ll suggest a peel instead)
  • A tan, or a sun holiday booked during the series
  • Melasma (light can make it worse; we’ll talk about other options)

Planning around a date?

  • 10+ weeks before: Time for the full series of three, with the spots long gone.
  • 2 to 9 weeks before: Time for one or two sessions. Spots will have flaked off, redness partly faded.
  • Less than 2 weeks: Book it after your date. Spots darken and flake for 7 to 10 days.

How it goes

  1. Consult and patch testMai checks your skin type and tests a small area. Free.
  2. Written planAreas, three sessions, the series price.
  3. TreatmentGoggles on, a cool gel, then quick flashes of light. About 30 minutes for the face.
  4. The next ten daysSpots darken like coffee grounds and flake off. Sunscreen every day. Next session in four weeks.

Individual results may vary. A consultation comes first, and the plan you leave with is the price you pay. Prices in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes. Changes are free with 48 hours’ notice; later than that, or a missed visit, is $50. New laser and IPL clients start October to May.

Tamarack plan sheet · IPL photofacial
Is IPL a laser?
No. A laser is one wavelength; IPL is a filtered flash of many. It treats brown and red at once, which suits sun damage.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
The next day. The darkened spots can be covered, just don’t scrub them off.
Will it work on melasma?
We don’t use IPL on melasma: heat can make it darker. A peel series is the safer start.
