IPL PIGMENT, REDNESS & FIRMING

More than traditional IPL. Smarter technology for clearer, brighter, healthier skin

From $129

If you’ve had IPL before and thought it was fine, Photon X will surprise you.

If you’ve never considered light based skin treatments because you weren’t sure they were suitable for your skin, this is worth a conversation.

At Upper Skin Clinic, we use the advanced Photon X IPL platform to treat pigmentation, redness, acne, rosacea, uneven skin tone, visible capillaries and signs of ageing, while stimulating your skin’s own collagen production for healthier skin from within.

Unlike older IPL systems, Photon X delivers energy using innovative In Motion technology. Instead of one high intensity pulse, the treatment gradually builds therapeutic heat through multiple gentle passes. This creates a more comfortable treatment, more even energy delivery, faster recovery and outstanding clinical results across a wider range of skin types and concerns.

The result? Clearer skin, brighter complexion, smoother texture and healthier, more youthful looking skin with minimal downtime.

What Does Photon X IPL Treat?

Photon X is a versatile treatment designed to improve multiple skin concerns, including:
• Sun damage and age spots
• Freckles and pigmentation
• Redness and facial flushing
• Broken capillaries and Rosacea
• Uneven skin tone and enlarged pores
• Acne and acne related inflammation
• Fine lines and loss of skin firmness
• Dullness and Overall skin rejuvenation

Is Photon X IPL Right For You?

Photon X is ideal for:
• Clients wanting brighter, healthier looking skin
• Those with pigmentation or sun damage
• Clients experiencing redness or rosacea
• Individuals wanting to improve skin texture and tone
• Anyone looking to stimulate collagen naturally

Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine whether Photon X is the right treatment for your skin goals.

How Does Photon X IPL Work?

Photon X uses carefully selected wavelengths of light that are absorbed by pigment, blood vessels and targeted structures within the skin.

As the light energy is converted into heat, unwanted pigmentation begins to break down while visible capillaries gradually collapse and are naturally cleared by the body.

At the same time, controlled heating within the deeper layers stimulates fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin, helping improve firmness, texture and overall skin quality.

What makes Photon X different is its advanced In Motion technology. Rather than delivering one intense pulse, the device glides continuously over the skin using multiple gentle passes to gradually build therapeutic heat. This creates a more even treatment, significantly improves comfort and allows the skin to respond more efficiently with less downtime.

More Than IPL. Meet DermTyte.

One of the standout features of Photon X is DermTyte, an advanced Near Infrared (NIR) skin tightening treatment exclusive to the platform.

Unlike traditional IPL, DermTyte reaches deeper into the skin to safely heat the dermis where collagen is produced. This stimulates genuine collagen remodelling, improving skin firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality over time.

DermTyte can be performed on its own or combined with other Photon X treatments as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation program.

Ideal for:
• Mild skin laxity
• Fine lines
• Crepey skin
• Loss of firmness
• Preventative ageing

FAQs

What makes Photon X different from traditional IPL?

Photon X uses advanced In Motion technology, allowing energy to be delivered gradually over multiple gentle passes rather than one intense pulse. This provides greater comfort, more even energy delivery, improved safety and excellent results across a wider range of skin concerns and skin tones.

Can Photon X treat multiple concerns at once?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of Photon X is its versatility. It can address pigmentation, redness, rosacea, acne, uneven skin tone, texture concerns and collagen stimulation during the same treatment plan.

Is the treatment painful?

Most clients describe Photon X as a warm, comfortable sensation. Thanks to the In Motion technology, treatment is generally far more comfortable than older generation IPL devices.

How long does treatment take?

Most facial treatments take approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Is there any downtime?

Most clients experience mild redness for a few hours. Pigmentation may temporarily darken before naturally shedding over 7 to 14 days. Most people return to normal daily activities immediately, provided they follow aftercare instructions.

How soon will I see results?

Some improvements can be seen after your first treatment, particularly in skin brightness. Pigmentation, redness and collagen remodelling continue to improve progressively throughout your treatment course and for several months afterwards.

Can Photon X be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Photon X integrates beautifully into many Skin Edit treatment plans and can be combined with treatments such as skin needling, LED therapy and professional skincare to further enhance your results.
