FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about injectable treatments. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us directly.
What is an IPL Photofacial?
An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target pigmentation, sun damage, redness, and uneven skin tone. The Venus Versa™ device delivers controlled pulses of light to the skin to reduce discolouration, and promote a clearer, more even complexion.
How does IPL work?
IPL technology works by delivering multiple wavelengths of light into the skin. These light pulses are absorbed by pigment (melanin) and blood vessels in the skin, breaking down excess pigment and reducing visible redness. The body naturally eliminates the targeted pigment or vessels over time, revealing fresher, more even-toned skin.
Is IPL safe for all skin types?
Venus Versa™ IPL treatments are generally safe for lighter to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I–III). However, IPL is not recommended for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation or burns. A consultation is always required to determine if you’re a suitable candidate based on your skin type and concerns.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal to none. You may experience mild redness or a sunburn-like sensation for a few hours after treatment. In some cases, areas of pigmentation may temporarily darken before flaking off over a few days. Makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours, and daily SPF use is essential.
Who is not suitable for IPL treatments?
IPL is not suitable for individuals who:
- Have dark skin tones
- Have melasma (hormonal hyperpigmentation)
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infections, eczema, or open wounds in the treatment area
- Are taking photosensitising medication
- Have recently tanned or used self-tanner
- A full medical consultation will be done before treatment to assess your eligibility.
What’s the duration per treatment?
Each Venus Versa™ IPL treatment takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Where are you based?
Natural Aesthetics is based in Cape Town with established clinics in Green Point, Tyger Valley, and Somerset West. Once your appointment is confirmed, our team will send you consent forms to complete, along with the clinic address, directions, and a Google Maps link.
