Understanding IPL Treatments and Medical-Grade Lasers in Perth

In the realm of cosmetic treatments, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and medical-grade lasers have become popular options for addressing various skin concerns. Dr. Glenn Murray from Absolute Cosmetic Medicine discusses the nuances of these treatments and what patients should consider when seeking care.

The Importance of Professional Oversight

While IPL is a highly effective machine for skin rejuvenation and other cosmetic applications, it is essential for patients to exercise caution. Dr. Murray emphasises that IPL, like other laser technologies, can pose risks, including burns if not used properly.

One of the critical issues in Western Australia is that IPL devices do not require the direct involvement or supervision of a qualified medical professional during treatment. This lack of regulation raises concerns about patient safety and the quality of care provided.

Choosing the Right Provider

When considering IPL laser treatments or medical-grade lasers in Perth, it is vital to select a provider with a proven track record of experience and expertise. Patients should ensure that the practitioner has a strong relationship with a qualified doctor who can offer referrals if any complications or concerns arise during the treatment process.

Conclusion

For effective and safe IPL and laser treatments, it is crucial to choose a reputable clinic staffed with qualified professionals. If you have questions or need further information about IPL or other laser treatments, don’t hesitate to contact Absolute Cosmetic Medicine.
