Designed to deliver
targeted wavelengths
of light
Improve skin health
Strengthen your skin barrier for less reactivity and sensitivity
Calm inflammation
Reduce areas of inflammation and lesions for a clearer complexion
Blitz breakouts
Stimulates porphyrins and reduces oil production to improve breakouts
Reduce pigmentation
Melanin in pigmented areas is destroyed, to eventually flake or fade away for a more even toned complexion
We achieve this by using different filters to target different skin concerns, allowing us to focus on problem areas and improve a variety of specific issues. For example, different filters can be selected to target redness, unwanted pigmentation, active breakouts or to support overall skin rejuvenation.
As our technology continues to evolve, our newest M22 also offers XPL – Expert Pulse Light, building on the versatility of IPL with greater flexibility in how we select and deliver light to the skin. This allows us to personalise treatment even further, choosing the most appropriate technology and settings for your individual concerns.
By tailoring the light to your skin, we can effectively address concerns at different levels while supporting overall skin health and quality, improving texture and tone and enhancing the skin’s natural radiance.
NEW at d.thomas clinic
Introducing XPL
XPL stands for Expert Pulsed Light. It’s the latest evolution of the IPL technology we use at D.Thomas Clinic, available on our new Stellar M22 device. Like IPL, it uses carefully selected pulses of light to address concerns such as visible redness, pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
What’s new is the level of control it gives our practitioners. XPL offers a choice of filters and treatment tip sizes, allowing us to work across larger areas or focus on smaller, specific concerns. It can also deliver light in a sequence of rapid pulses, with brief intervals that allow the skin to cool between them. These options give us more ways to tailor the treatment to the skin in front of us.
XPL is part of our existing IPL offering, so there’s no separate treatment to choose when booking. Your practitioner will assess your skin and decide whether to use IPL or XPL, along with the settings suited to your concerns. Appointment lengths and prices remain the same.
Targeted action for your skin
IPL can effectively soften and reduce the appearance of a wide range of skin concerns, including brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, thread veins, freckles, rosacea, acne, and age pigmentation spots. In addition, IPL can also be used as a maintenance treatment for healthy skin, helping to slow down the visible signs of photo-ageing from appearing in the first place.
