Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a powerful, broad-spectrum light treatment that heats and destroys brown spots, age spots, broken capillaries, and sunspots on the face, neck, chest, décolletage, and body. Our team specialises in treating all types of acne, whether mild, moderate, or severe, and offers customised treatments based on the severity of your condition.
We use the acclaimed Lynton Laser UK IPL system, renowned for its effectiveness. The steady light gently penetrates beneath the skin’s surface to target damaged and discoloured cells. The heat from the laser breaks down the pigment into tiny particles, which either rise to the surface as scabs or are naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system.
IPL treatments differ from laser treatments in that lasers use a single wavelength of light, whereas IPL uses a diverse group of lights. This allows IPL to address various skin concerns by selecting the appropriate filter for each specific issue.
Additionally, we provide treatments tailored to the severity of your condition and prescribe medication based on individual needs.
This highly sought-after skin-restoring treatment offers numerous benefits, including a non-invasive and comfortable treatment option that requires no needles or incisions, backed by proven results.
It also comes with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine almost immediately after each session. IPL photo rejuvenation treatments are also fully customisable to address individual skin concerns and aesthetic goals effectively.
Patients are advised to stay away from sun exposure and sunbeds for at least four weeks before any IPL Light treatment to avoid any issues after treatment. The patient must stop any medications that may cause skin photosensitivity, e.g., antibiotics. Avoid retinoids and vitamin C that may cause skin sensitivity. Speak to your healthcare professional before stopping any essential medication.
Approximately 48 hours after your patch test, you can return to the clinic, where your skin will be cleansed and prepared for your IPL procedure. During the treatment, you might feel a mild stinging sensation, which will subside shortly afterward. Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm, but it will be promptly cooled down for your 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 experienced practitioners will ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire IPL session by carefully adjusting the IPL machine settings to target your specific skin concerns. During the treatment, you may experience a warm feeling as the pulses of light are applied to your skin. Following the procedure, you might notice some mild redness or slight swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a day. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be recommended, spaced several weeks apart.
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.
