IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It is a professional light-based technology used in clinics to treat a range of skin concerns, from hair reduction and pigmentation to vascular lesions and skin rejuvenation.

IPL works by delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin. The light is absorbed by specific targets within the skin, such as the pigment in hair follicles, the colour in pigmented lesions or the haemoglobin in blood vessels. This energy is converted to heat, which damages or destroys the target without affecting the surrounding tissue.

By selecting the appropriate wavelength and parameters for each concern, a trained therapist can tailor IPL treatments to each individual client. The PhotonX integrates five IPL-based technologies into one device, giving clinics the ability to treat a broader range of concerns than a standard IPL system.

Standard IPL is generally suited to skin types 1–4 on the Fitzpatrick scale, from very fair to medium-olive skin tones. This is because higher concentrations of melanin in darker skin types can absorb light energy intended for the treatment target, increasing the risk of adverse reactions.

However, not all IPL technologies carry the same limitations. The PhotonX’s In-Motion Technology (IMT) uses lower energy per pulse delivered across multiple continuous passes, which reduces peak energy at the skin surface and makes treatment safer across a broader range of skin types, including Fitzpatrick types 1–5. DermTyte, the PhotonX’s skin tightening technology, is also suitable for skin types 1–5.

A thorough consultation, skin type assessment and test patch are always carried out before treatment begins. All PhotonX treatments are delivered by trained and qualified therapists.

The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment concern, the individual’s skin type and how they respond to treatment. As a general guide:

• Hair reduction: 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may be required.

• Pigmentation and sun damage: 2–4 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

• Vascular lesions and rosacea: 2–4 sessions. Diffuse redness may require more.

• Acne management: 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart.

• Skin rejuvenation: 3–6 sessions, with results continuing to improve between treatments.

• Skin firming and tightening (DermTyte): 3–6 sessions, with results typically visible from 4 weeks.

IPL therapists will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your skin at the time of consultation.

Both IPL and laser use light energy to treat skin concerns, but they work differently.

Laser devices emit a single, precise wavelength of light in a concentrated beam. This makes laser highly targeted for specific concerns, but it also means each laser device typically treats one indication well.

IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light across multiple wavelengths simultaneously. This versatility means a single IPL device can address a wider range of concerns, hair reduction, pigmentation, vascular lesions, acne, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening, making it a practical and cost-effective choice for clinics that want to offer a comprehensive treatment menu.

Modern IPL platforms like the PhotonX narrow and refine the spectrum delivered using interchangeable filters and advanced technologies like Selective Wavelength Technology (SWT), improving targeting precision while retaining the versatility IPL is known for.

SHR, Super Hair Removal, is a term used across the industry to describe a method of IPL delivery that uses continuous movement and lower energy per pulse, rather than single high-energy pulses at a stationary position. It was originally developed to make hair removal more comfortable and safer across a broader range of skin types.

At TADLI, we refer to this as In-Motion Technology (IMT) and deliberately so. The in-motion delivery method on the PhotonX is not limited to hair removal. The same continuous-movement, low-fluence approach is used for skin rejuvenation, collagen stimulation and other skin treatments. Calling it ‘SHR’ would undersell what the technology can do.

IMT on the PhotonX delivers consistent, comfortable energy across larger treatment areas for both hair and skin indications. If you’ve had SHR hair removal before, IMT is the same foundational delivery method, applied to a broader range of treatments.

The PhotonX IPL system can address six treatment categories:

• Permanent hair reduction: face and body

• Vascular lesions: rosacea, thread veins, broken capillaries and diffuse redness

• Epidermal pigmentation: sun damage, age spots, freckles and uneven skin tone

• Acne: active breakouts and post-acne redness

• Skin rejuvenation: improved tone, texture and radiance

• Skin firming and tightening: via DermTyte (non-surgical, no downtime)

The range of concerns treatable with a single device depends on the technologies and filters it incorporates. The PhotonX’s combination of IPL, IMT, DPL with SWT, DermTyte and FPL gives it a broader clinical range than most IPL systems available at its price point.

The QuadLUX is a high-powered LED therapy device featuring four targeted wavelengths that help address breakouts, pigmentation, visible ageing concerns and post-treatment recovery with efficient 12-minute sessions.

Professional LED light therapy devices can support skin rejuvenation, calm inflammation, support healing and help manage breakouts by delivering targeted wavelengths that may stimulate cellular activity.

LED light technology is commonly used in cosmetic settings to help improve the overall appearance of the skin, including supporting a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Many clients also find that LED sessions help leave the skin looking refreshed and revitalised. EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), on the other hand, is often used in aesthetic treatments to create gentle, targeted contractions that may contribute to a firmer, more lifted-looking appearance.

Clinics using both modalities are able to offer a treatment approach that addresses both skin surface/healing and underlying muscle tone to deliver deeper rejuvenation and more refined client results.

Professional HIFU training is structured education designed to teach qualified practitioners how to safely and appropriately deliver ultrasound-based aesthetic treatments using registered devices. It typically includes theoretical learning, practical application and assessment to support clinical understanding, treatment planning and safety protocols.

HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. In aesthetic contexts, it refers to the use of focused ultrasound energy delivered at specific depths as part of a non-surgical treatment approach.

HIFU is used within aesthetic practice as a non-invasive treatment modality targeting specific tissue layers. It is commonly incorporated into treatment plans where practitioners aim to address visible skin laxity and support overall skin firmness. As with all treatments, individual experiences and outcomes vary depending on particular factors such as skin characteristics, treatment areas and adherence to aftercare advice.

Professional HIFU courses are intended for qualified practitioners seeking to expand their scope within aesthetic medical device treatments. This may include dermal clinicians, cosmetic nurses and suitably qualified therapists, subject to state regulations and scope of practice.

Yes, HIFU training may be suitable for therapists who meet the required qualifications and regulatory standards in their state or territory.
