What are the Benefits of IPL?
MINIMISE REDNESS
Our IPL is very efficient at removing redness (erythema), often clearing where others fail and requiring fewer treatments.
IMPROVE TONE & TEXTURE
IPL naturally evens out skin tone by targeting all the chromophores (pigment, vascular, water) within the light beam’s target.
REMOVE PIGMENT
IPL can significantly reduce pigmentation by targeting melanin chromophores that are responsible for hyperpigmentation.

What is IPL?
IPL, also known as intense pulsed light, is a treatment that can treat redness (erythema), pigmentation, sun damage, and excess hair. It uses pulses of visible light that are directed through selectable wavelength filters, allowing it to target structures with particular colours (chromophores) in the skin.
How does IPL Work?
IPL is a non-ablative treatment that works differently than a laser, as it emits numerous wavelengths (or colours) of light with each pulse. In contrast, lasers are monochromatic – they only emit one wavelength. The pulse is absorbed by different colours or chromophores such as red, brown, or black. The most common chromophores targeted are melanin (pigment) and oxyhaemoglobin (blood vessels and redness). When the chromophore absorbs the energy, it causes thermal damage.
A key advantage is that the recovery time is minimal, and you can mostly get on with life as usual – especially with more modern, precise devices which have even less downtime.
Why Candela Nordlys IPL?
At Anue, we use the Candela Nordlys for IPL treatments. This is an innovative machine that uses narrowband IPL. The pulse of narrowband is a lot more efficient, meaning it more precisely targets the chromophore being treated. As a result, the Nordlys pulses use about half the amount of energy as traditional IPL machines.
What does all this mean for you?
- Less pain: in most cases, we don’t even need to use cooling or topical anaesthetic.
- Less burning (erythema): you’re much less likely to suffer from excessive erythema and swelling after the treatment.
This means less downtime and a faster recovery, so it interferes less with your daily activities.
What can be Treated with IPL?
Intense pulsed light is a very flexible technology as it can treat a lot of conditions.
It can be used to treat:
- Vascular lesions, such as:
- broken facial veins
