If you're in Chennai and dealing with stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, uneven skin tone, or persistent redness, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy might be the versatile, skin-friendly solution you've been searching for. At HALOS Dermatology and Aesthetics, we offer advanced IPL treatments using the latest FDA-approved equipment—customized for Indian skin. IPL isn’t just another cosmetic treatment; it’s a light-based skin rejuvenation procedure that targets a wide range of skin concerns without harsh downtime. It works by delivering controlled bursts of broad-spectrum light into the skin, which gently heats the targeted pigment or blood vessels, prompting them to fade or be absorbed by the body naturally.
What makes IPL so special is its non-invasive, multi-functional nature. It doesn't just treat one issue—it addresses pigmentation, sun damage, redness, rosacea, broken capillaries, enlarged pores, and even some forms of acne, all at once. The result? A visibly clearer, brighter, and more even-toned complexion. Unlike laser therapy, which uses a single wavelength, IPL uses multiple light wavelengths, making it ideal for targeting different layers of skin in a single session. At HALOS, we ensure every treatment is personalized for your skin type and tone. Whether you’re preparing for an important occasion or simply want a long-term skin health upgrade, IPL is a smart, skin-respectful choice.
- Customized scar assessment and diagnosis
- Treatments for all scar types: ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and pigmented
- Non-invasive and minimally invasive options
- Safe for all skin tones, including sensitive Indian skin
- Post-treatment care and monitoring included
- Trusted skin clinic in Aminjikarai, Chennai
How IPL Works for Deep Skin Rejuvenation
IPL isn’t just light flashing across your face—it’s a carefully calibrated wave of therapeutic light that interacts with your skin on a cellular level. When the light enters the skin, it selectively targets melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (redness or vascular lesions), heating and breaking down these elements. Over the next several days, your body naturally processes the damaged cells and eliminates them. Meanwhile, IPL stimulates the fibroblast cells to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time. It's a combination of targeted correction and overall rejuvenation.
At HALOS, we take great care to tailor each IPL session based on your concern, skin tone, and tolerance. We use skin-cooling gels and advanced light filters to minimize discomfort and ensure uniform coverage. The sensation is often described as a quick snap or mild sting, but most clients find it highly tolerable. The best part? There's no peeling, no extensive recovery, and no major interruption to your day. You can get back to your routine right after. As your skin regenerates, you’ll see a gradual reduction in dark spots, redness, and dullness—revealing a fresher, younger-looking version of your skin with each visit.

Is IPL the Right Fit for Your Skin Goals?
One of the biggest advantages of IPL is its adaptability—it’s suitable for a wide range of age groups and skin concerns. If you struggle with pigmentation from sun exposure, post-acne scars, facial redness, broken blood vessels, or early signs of aging, IPL can be a game-changer. Even if you're someone who’s constantly on the go, IPL fits easily into your lifestyle with zero to minimal downtime. Most people start noticing results after their first or second session, and it only gets better with time.
At HALOS, we begin with an expert skin assessment before recommending IPL. While IPL is generally safe, we avoid it in individuals with active infections, very dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick type 5–6), or those with photosensitivity disorders. But for the majority of people in Chennai dealing with pigmentation or texture issues, it’s one of the safest and most effective options. Our experience allows us to adjust IPL settings based on your specific skin condition, ensuring optimal results with every session. So, whether you’re preparing for a wedding, photoshoot, or just want better bare skin, IPL may be exactly what your skin needs.

- Helps with redness, rosacea & vascular lesions

What to Expect During Your IPL Session at HALOS
Your IPL experience at HALOS begins with a detailed consultation and skin analysis using diagnostic tools and visual assessments. Once we determine that IPL is right for you, we prep the skin by cleansing and applying a protective cooling gel. Safety goggles are provided to shield your eyes from the light pulses. The handpiece is then gently applied to your skin, emitting controlled flashes of light in a specific pattern. You may feel a mild heat or a snapping sensation, but the session is generally quick and comfortable.
Immediately after, your skin may appear slightly red or feel warm—similar to a mild sunburn—which subsides within a few hours. Pigmented areas might darken temporarily before flaking off naturally. Unlike aggressive laser treatments, IPL allows you to resume work, travel, or social engagements without the need for long recovery. At HALOS, we provide custom post-treatment advice, sunscreen guidance, and product recommendations to maintain and enhance your results. With each session, your skin becomes brighter, clearer, and more refined, giving you that lit-from-within glow we all desire.
- Initial consult with dermatologist-led assessment
- Painless procedure with skin-cooling tech
- No anesthesia or sedation required
- Zero downtime—walk out glowing
- Ideal lunchtime treatment (done in 30–45 mins)
- Aftercare support & visible progress tracking
Results That Speak for Themselves
With IPL, results build gradually but impressively. After the first session, you may already notice an improvement in skin tone and texture. Pigmented spots begin to fade, redness reduces, and your skin starts looking fresher and more awake. As collagen production increases, you’ll also see smoother, firmer skin with fewer fine lines and visible pores. Most clients complete a series of 3–6 sessions for optimal results, with monthly or quarterly maintenance keeping the skin at its best.
At HALOS, our clients in Chennai rave about how their skin feels lighter, brighter, and more confident after IPL. There’s no drastic change that makes you look artificial—just a clear, even, camera-ready version of your natural skin. And because the light energy works at the deeper skin level, the results continue to evolve over several weeks. With good skincare habits and sun protection, your results can last for months—even longer when combined with other treatments like chemical peels or Hydrafacials.
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Fewer pigmentation spots and redness
- Tighter pores and smoother texture
- Long-lasting results with good skincare
