An IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses high-energy light waves to target various skin concerns such as pigmentation, redness, and sun damage. The light penetrates deep into the skin, breaking down pigmentation and stimulating collagen production for smoother, more even-toned skin​

IPL Photofacials are effective for treating a range of skin issues, including sun spots, age spots, broken capillaries, redness from rosacea, freckles, and uneven skin tone. It’s particularly beneficial for individuals with fair skin tones who are looking to address pigmentation and improve overall skin texture​.

Most clients achieve noticeable improvements after 4-6 sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on your specific skin concerns and desired outcome. Regular maintenance sessions once or twice a year can help sustain the results​

While pain levels vary, most clients describe the sensation as a slight stinging or snapping feeling, similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. A cooling gel is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Post-treatment, you may feel a mild sunburn-like sensation that typically resolves within a few hours​

IPL Photofacials typically require little to no downtime. Mild redness and swelling may occur immediately after the procedure but usually subside within a day or two. Clients can resume their regular activities shortly after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules​

deal candidates are those with light to medium skin tones and concerns like sun damage, hyperpigmentation, redness, or uneven skin texture. IPL is not recommended for individuals with darker skin tones, active skin infections, or photosensitivity conditions. A consultation with our team will help determine if IPL is suitable for you​

Results from an IPL Photofacial can last for several months to a year, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure. Regular use of sunscreen and appropriate skincare products can prolong the results. Annual maintenance sessions are recommended to sustain the improvements​

Yes, IPL Photofacials can be combined with other skin treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and LED therapy for enhanced results. It’s also effective when paired with injectables like anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation​

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, and harsh skincare products (such as retinoids) for at least a week before and after your IPL treatment. Using a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily is crucial to prevent post-treatment pigmentation changes and ensure optimal healing​.

Common side effects include mild redness, swelling, and a sensation of warmth or tightness in the treated area. In rare cases, more intense side effects like blistering, bruising, or pigmentation changes may occur. Following pre- and post-treatment guidelines minimises these risks, ensuring a safer and more effective treatment experience​
