Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin and discuss your goals. On the day, your skin will be cleansed and a cooling gel applied to ensure comfort. Protective eyewear is provided, and a handheld device delivers gentle pulses of light to the treatment area. The procedure is quick, well-tolerated and typically described as a mild snapping sensation on the skin. Most treatments take around 20–30 minutes depending on the area.

IPL treatment is generally well tolerated and only causes minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a light snapping feeling on the skin. A cooling gel is applied before treatment to enhance comfort, and the procedure is quick, making it suitable even for sensitive areas.

There is little to no downtime after IPL photorejuvenation. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. Some mild redness or warmth may occur, similar to a light sunburn, but this typically settles within a few hours. In some cases, pigmentation may darken temporarily before fading.

You may start to notice improvements in your skin within a few days of treatment. Pigmentation and redness gradually fade over 1–2 weeks as the skin naturally renews itself. Best results are typically seen after a course of treatments, with continued improvement in skin tone and texture over time.

Most patients require a course of 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin type, concerns and desired outcome. A personalised treatment plan will be recommended during your consultation.

IPL is safe for many skin types; however, it is most effective on lighter skin tones with pigmentation or redness concerns. A consultation is essential to assess your skin and determine if IPL photorejuvenation is the right treatment for you. Your practitioner will tailor the settings to ensure safety and effectiveness.

After a session of IPL you may see some redness, soreness or darkening of the treatment area post your rejuvenating or laser pigmentation removal treatment. This should improve after the treatment and our team is available to help you and reassure you if any skin changes occur.
