IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses controlled pulses of light energy to target pigmentation, redness, acne-causing bacteria and visible blood vessels within the skin.

The light energy gently heats the skin, stimulating natural collagen production and encouraging the body to break down unwanted pigment and redness. This helps improve overall skin tone, texture and clarity while creating a brighter and healthier-looking complexion.

Treatment is non-invasive with minimal downtime, making it a popular option for clients wanting noticeable skin improvements without aggressive treatments.

IPL Skin Rejuvenation may be suitable if you are looking to improve concerns such as redness, rosacea, acne, pigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, fine lines, dull skin or general skin texture.

This treatment works best when the skin concern is suitable for IPL and your skin type can be treated safely. During your consultation, I will assess your skin, discuss your goals and check whether IPL is the right treatment for you.

IPL may not be suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, recently tanned, using certain active skincare or medication, have photosensitivity, have had recent facial treatments, or have certain medical conditions. This will all be checked during your consultation and patch test before any treatment goes ahead.

A consultation and patch test are required before treatment to make sure your skin responds safely. If IPL is not suitable for you, I will always be honest and guide you in the right direction.

Before treatment:

• Avoid sunbeds and excessive sun exposure for 2 weeks
• Avoid fake tan before appointments
• Avoid active skincare products such as retinol or acids 3–5 days before treatment
• Keep skin clean and hydrated

After treatment:

• Wear SPF daily
• Avoid heat treatments, saunas and excessive exercise for 24–48 hours
• Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin
• Follow all aftercare advice provided during your appointment

Following the correct aftercare helps achieve the best possible results.

Most clients describe IPL Skin Rejuvenation as warm quick flashes against the skin. Mild redness and warmth may appear immediately after treatment and usually settles within a few hours.

After treatment, the skin may look slightly flushed or feel warm, similar to mild sun exposure. Some clients notice temporary darkening of pigmentation before it naturally flakes away over the following days. This is a normal part of the skin renewal process.

Depending on the concern being treated:

• Pigmentation may temporarily darken before fading
• Redness may gradually reduce over several sessions
• Acne inflammation may begin to calm
• Skin may appear brighter, smoother and more even in tone
• Fine lines and skin texture may gradually improve over time

Results develop gradually as the skin naturally renews itself and collagen production increases.

For best results, a course of treatments is usually recommended depending on your skin goals and concerns.
