Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is used as an anti-ageing, spot removal treatment for age spots and brown spots including broken capillaries situated anywhere on the body including neck and chest. IPL is also a very effective treatment for treating pitted acne scars. Our focus extends to integrating custom-made treatments designed to target and help combat all types of acne lesions, whether the condition is mild, moderate, or severe.
Our clinic uses the Lynton Laser UK IPL system, which is widely regarded for its ease of use during treatments. The gentle light gradually moves over the skin’s surface, penetrating deeply into the active skin layers. The healing properties of the multiple light pulses emitted help disintegrate dark pigmentation into small particles that either rise to the surface as crusts or are eliminated through the lymphatic system.
IPL treatments use pulsed light instead of lasers that emit a single wavelength, differentiating them from traditional laser treatments. Skin disorders are addressed using the most appropriate filters tailored to each specific condition.
Additionally, standard treatment options are provided based on the elasticity of the lesions, along with medication prescriptions tailored to each patient’s needs.
This highly sought-after skin resurfacing treatment is effective, non-surgical, and painless, requiring no needles or incisions, as supported by evidence.
With a low recovery time, you can almost return to your normal activities immediately after each treatment. IPL photo rejuvenation can also be tailored to accommodate different skin types and beauty needs.
As an order to avoid complications after treatment, Dr. Novak recommends that the patients and their relatives refrain from any direct exposure of their skin to the sunlight or from the use of sunbeds, at least four weeks prior to the scheduled date of the IPL Light treatment. The patient should discontinue any drugs which may sensitize the skin to light, such as, antibiotics. Retinoids and vitamin C that may trigger skin and eyes sensitivity should be avoided. Discuss with your healthcare provider before discontinuing any important medication.
About 48 hours after the patch test, you may return to the clinic where your skin will be cleaned and prepared for the IPL treatment. You may have minor stinging during your treatment; this is usually temporary and settles within a short time after treatment. Your skin may feel warm for a short period of time post-treatment, though it is instantly cooled for comfort.
During the first 24 hours of skin healing, clients should refrain from wearing makeup. Makeup can be applied after this initial period. Following any laser treatment, it is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure or sunbeds for a minimum of 2 weeks, and sometimes up to 4 weeks. It is important to use SPF 30/50 daily and reapply as needed. When in direct sunlight, wear a hat and reapply SPF. Avoid activities that generate heat, such as gym sessions or steam saunas, for about 48 hours.
Our expert professionals will make sure that during the treatment, you are comfortable by adjusting the settings of the IPL machine according to your skin type and concerns, as and when required. You may feel a sensation of warmth when the pulses of light are penetrating your skin. Immediately after the procedure, there may be mild redness or slight swelling that may also subside in a couple of hours or a day. Multiple sessions, spaced several weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal results.

Amazing results and just what I needed at the end of a holiday! I’ve been to the clinic on a few occasions for this facial and each time it has been the best! It is the only clinic I will go to for a deep cleanse facial as it has demonstrated better results than any other clinic I’ve been to. Marina did my first ever facial at CF so I was thrilled to have another appointment with her! I really appreciated the time and care she put into my facial. I love how the extraction process doesn’t cause much redness, so when you are leaving the clinic your face isn’t blotchy or painful.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jason Molloy2023-01-29I’ve been coming to clinica Flore for a few years now and I honestly couldn’t recommended them enough.

One that had me a bit worried was being blotchy and red as I do have sensitive skin. However, Flavio was so gentle that I didn’t experience any redness after the treatment or pain during the procedure. Their staff is so friendly from the minute you call them to book an appointment to them performing the procedure. They update you with every step of the process so that you are aware of what they are doing to your face. I highly recommend their services they have indeed impressed me and I can’t wait for my next appointment with them. #HappyClientTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Franko Briseno2022-10-12I have been to other clinics and it is the first time the staff has been amazing, they showed they are actually passionate for what they do and they do care for the patients.

Both treatments combined have massively improved the skin texture and lifting of facial contours, not even 24 downtime and virtually painless in my case, loved it! Would definitely recommend this combo or even as separate treatments as I did see big improvements on each session! Also the clinic is always at such high standards and always immaculately presented!

Healing time after IPL varies depending on factors such as the individual’s skin type, the treated area, and the severity of the condition being addressed. Typically, noticeable results begin to appear within a few days to a week following treatment, with complete healing generally taking between two to four weeks. During this period, it is normal for the skin to show temporary redness or a flushed appearance as it undergoes rejuvenation. This post-treatment reaction usually resolves within a few days as the skin continues to heal and regenerate. Understanding these timelines and expected reactions can help individuals better manage their expectations and care for their skin post treatment.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments are effective for improving skin appearance by targeting various concerns such as pigmentation irregularities and fine lines. However, these results are typically not permanent. Most individuals undergo a series of initial sessions, followed by periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the improvements. Consistent skincare, including the use of recommended products and sunscreen, is essential to prolong the benefits of IPL. Factors such as individual skin type and the specific concerns being addressed also play a role in determining how long the results will last.
Generally, for optimal results, aestheticians recommend undergoing three to five IPL light treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. In each session, intense pulsed light energy is carefully administered to heat and penetrate the skin’s upper layers. This process stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin texture and firmness over time. Additionally, increased circulation can promote a healthier complexion. IPL treatments are particularly effective in reducing the appearance of redness associated with conditions like rosacea, minimising the visibility of large pores, and fading acne scars.

Yes, an IPL photofacial is certainly worth it for several reasons. In addition to reducing redness and inflammation, this procedure effectively targets and eliminates harmful bacteria on the skin’s surface. Furthermore, repeated IPL sessions encourage skin cell turnover, gradually reducing scar tissue and improving overall skin texture. This dual action not only enhances the skin’s appearance but also helps achieve a smoother and more radiant complexion over time.
A photofacial procedure can vary in terms of discomfort depending on individual pain tolerance, especially in sensitive areas like the nose or upper lip. To minimise discomfort, aestheticians often use a cooling gel on the IPL device to help numb the area and reduce heat sensation. After the procedure, some people may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
