Treatment Time: Who is IPL not suitable for?


Who is not suitable for Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment

Unfortunately people of Afro-Caribbean or South East Asian origin may not be suitable for IPL. This is because the higher density of melanin in their skin absorbs the Intense Pulsed Light which produces heat in the skin and can lead to a condition like sun burn or discolouration of the skin. We will tell you if you are a suitable candidate for IPL at your initial assessment.

What do all the tests we do mean? 

At the Dry Eye Centre we do a battery of tests to diagnose your dry eye, including: LipiView, Meibography, InflammaDry, Schirmers test, Meibomium gland evaluator, Slitlamp bio-microscopy. Interested in an initial assessment to identify what treatment would be right for your Dry Eye? Book an appointment with us today.
