Our hands are usually the first to show signs of ageing, as they undergo daily wear and tear that makes them look worn out, sun-damaged, and old. Intense Pulsed Light IPL hand rejuvenation treatment, however, is an effective treatment that helps restore youthful vitality and smoothness to your hands.
Since each patient has different needs, a customised treatment plan is ideal. You will be advised to have an initial consultation with one of our skin specialists to assess your skin and discuss available treatment options. Also, as with all our IPL treatments, a patch test is necessary for your safety and effectiveness.
Using the IPL treatment for your hands has several key benefits. It targets and improves skin imperfections, which may include reducing age spots by making sun spots, liver spots, and other pigmentation problems less noticeable.
It also promotes a better skin tone overall, by reducing redness and discolouration. It helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a more glowing appearance and gives you hands you will be proud to show off too.
Other big advantages include very minimal downtime, which means you can get the treatment done and go on about your day in a snap.
Before the treatment, a patch test will be conducted to determine whether your skin is suitable for the procedure. Your hands will be cleaned and disinfected to reduce the risk of infection. A laser gel may also be applied as a precaution to protect the skin.
An IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a laser that rejuvenates your hands by stimulating your body’s natural healing processes and encourages new growth of collagen. The skin enters a repair process in which the controlled trauma the IPL laser inflicts encourages the regrowth of healthy skin cells and the redevelopment of the lost collagen. This will take out the pigmentation of your skin but can also help in improving the texture and elasticity of your skin.
We recommend scheduling your hand rejuvenation IPL treatments during the winter months for optimal results. During this time, your hands are less exposed to direct sunlight, which significantly reduces the risk of complications and enhances the effectiveness of the treatment. In contrast, during the summer, it can be challenging to fully protect your hands from daily sun exposure, including during outdoor activities and summer vacations. Sunlight can negatively impact the results of the treatment and increase the risk of side effects, such as pigmentation changes.

The number of IPL sessions required can vary depending on the condition of your skin, hands, and your aesthetic goals. Typically, patients need 3 – 6 sessions spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Your practitioner will provide a personalised treatment plan based on your needs.
Most patients describe the sensation during an IPL photofacial for hands as a mild discomfort. Many find that the discomfort is minimal and tolerable, with most being able to continue with their daily activities immediately after the treatment. Overall, the procedure is generally well-tolerated, and any temporary discomfort typically subsides quickly, often within a few minutes to an hour after the session. If you have concerns about pain or discomfort, please discuss them with our team, who can provide guidance and support to ensure a comfortable experience.

The IPL device emits light pulses that penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the melanin in pigmented spots and the hemoglobin in blood vessels. This light energy is converted into heat, which helps break down these imperfections. The treatment also stimulates collagen production, promoting healthier and more glorious-looking skin.
To prepare for IPL therapy, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. You should also refrain from using products that can increase skin sensitivity, such as retinoids or exfoliants. During your consultation, one of our IPL practitioners will provide specific pre-treatment instructions.
Initial improvements may be visible after the first treatment, but full results typically become apparent after a series of sessions. The skin will gradually become smoother and more even-toned as the treatment progresses and collagen production is stimulated.
