Intense pulsed light
Restore your skin’s natural radiance and relieve your eyes in just a few sessions. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a technology used in aesthetic medicine and ophthalmology. Thanks to calibrated light flashes, it helps improve skin quality, reduce pigmentation spots, diminish redness, and stimulate collagen production for a visible skin rejuvenation effect.
In ophthalmology, IPL is also indicated in the treatment of dry eye, particularly related to Meibomian gland dysfunction.
In Geneva, Dr. Bela, a specialist in ophthalmology and oculoplasty, offers this non-invasive treatment that combines medical precision with natural results, without social downtime.
IPL for facial aesthetics
With age, sun exposure, or simply lifestyle, the skin can lose its uniformity and firmness. Aesthetic IPL offers a gentle and effective solution to correct these visible signs. By delivering targeted light flashes, the treatment directly addresses pigmentation spots, small vessels responsible for diffuse redness, and stimulates collagen production.
Personalized IPL protocols tailored to your needs:
- skin rejuvenation: improved texture and elasticity
- pigmentation treatment: sunspots, lentigines
- vascular treatment: rosacea, small telangiectasias
- periocular care: improved eyelid skin quality
Well-tolerated and non-invasive, intense pulsed light used in aesthetics integrates easily into a skin care plan, either alone or in perfect synergy with other in-office treatments: botulinum toxin to smooth expression lines, hyaluronic acid to restore volume and hydration.
This combined approach maximizes your results for harmonious rejuvenation.

Dry eye and IPL
Chronic dry eye can cause tightness, a sandy sensation in the eyes, or even bothersome visual fluctuations in daily life. When this discomfort is linked to inflammation of the Meibomian glands, intense pulsed light offers an innovative and effective solution.
This thermal and light stimulation delivered to the lower eyelids helps reduce inflammation, liquefies glandular secretions, and improves the quality of the tear film. This painless treatment, performed during consultation, aims to restore better visual comfort over the course of several sessions.
Observed benefits:
- reduction of dryness and irritation
- less burning or foreign body sensation
- clearer and more stable vision
- reduced dependence on artificial tears
As an FMH-certified specialist and oculoplasty expert (eyelid surgery), Dr. Bela has mastered the subtleties of IPL treatment around the eyes, a particularly delicate area requiring advanced surgical expertise.
10 to 15-minute session
Application of a gel on the skin, wearing of protective glasses, delivery of light flashes along the lower eyelids.
Transient skin redness, mild skin sensitivity. Rare risks if the protocol is followed.
Tanned skin, pregnancy, history of photosensitivity.
An initial course of 4 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions depending on progress.

Is IPL painful?
No, IPL is remarkably well tolerated. You will only feel a gentle warmth, comparable to a light snap of an elastic band on the skin. No anesthesia is required.
