IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive light-based treatment used to reduce pigmentation, sun damage, redness and uneven skin tone. It works by delivering controlled pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting pigment and blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissue.

• Sun damage

• Age spots and pigmentation

• Freckles

• Redness and flushing

• Broken capillaries

• Uneven skin tone

• Rosacea-type symptoms

• Dull skin

A consultation will confirm whether IPL is suitable for your specific concern.

IPL delivers broad-spectrum light energy into the skin. The light is absorbed by pigment (melanin) or blood vessels, which are then naturally broken down and cleared by the body over time. This results in a clearer, more even complexion.

Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength of light, IPL uses broad-spectrum light. This allows it to treat multiple concerns such as pigmentation and redness in the same session.

Your clinician will recommend the most appropriate treatment for your skin type and concern.

Yes. IPL is considered a safe and well-established treatment when performed using medical-grade equipment in a clinical environment. A consultation and, where appropriate, a test patch are carried out before treatment.

IPL is generally most suitable for lighter skin tones with pigmentation or redness concerns. It may not be appropriate for darker skin tones due to the way light interacts with melanin. A full assessment will determine suitability.

Downtime is typically minimal. You may experience:

• Mild redness

• Slight warmth

• Temporary darkening of pigmentation

These effects usually settle within a few days.

IPL can help reduce visible redness and broken capillaries associated with certain types of rosacea. However, suitability depends on your individual skin condition and will be assessed during consultation.

You should avoid:

• Direct sun exposure

• Tanning

• Retinoids and strong exfoliants for several days

• Heat treatments such as saunas or hot tubs for 24–48 hours

Strict sun protection is essential.

Results can be long-lasting when combined with good sun protection and skincare. Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on your skin type and lifestyle.

Most clients describe IPL as a quick, warm flicking sensation on the skin. Discomfort is usually brief and well tolerated.

Some improvement may be visible after the first session. Pigmented areas often darken slightly before flaking away within 3–7 days. Results continue to improve gradually with each session.

Most clients require a course of 3–5 treatments spaced approximately 4 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on the severity of pigmentation or redness and your skin type.

We offer flexible payment options to make your treatment as convenient as possible. You can choose to pay per single session or pay in full for a course of treatments for better overall value. We accept card, cash, and bank transfer in clinic.

For added flexibility, we also offer 0% finance through Klarna, allowing you to spread the cost into manageable instalments with a range of payment options available, subject to eligibility.
