ABOUT THE TREATMENT
What is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) at Laser Skin Clinics uses medical-grade broad-spectrum light to target rosacea, thread veins, age spots, and uneven skin tone. The light energy is absorbed by haemoglobin in blood vessels and melanin in pigmented lesions, breaking them down while leaving surrounding skin unaffected. It is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments available for rosacea-related redness and facial flushing.
- Broad-spectrum intense pulsed light targets haemoglobin and melanin beneath the skin surface
- Particularly effective for rosacea. Reduces persistent redness, visible veins, and flushing
- Adjustable cut-off filters allow precise wavelength selection for each skin concern
- Medical-grade system with individually calibrated parameters for safe, effective treatment

THE PROCESS
How It Works
1
Consultation & Patch Test
Maxine assesses your skin type, concerns, and any contraindications. A patch test is performed at least 24 hours before your first full treatment to confirm appropriate settings and safe skin response.
2
Skin Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied. Eye protection is provided to shield against the light pulses during treatment.
3
IPL Treatment
The IPL handpiece is guided across the treatment area, delivering controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light. You may feel a mild snapping sensation as each pulse is delivered. Most sessions take 20–45 minutes.
4
Aftercare & Course Planning
Treated pigmentation will initially darken before flaking away over 7–14 days. Sessions are typically spaced 4 weeks apart, with most concerns responding well to a course of 3–6 treatments.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Results Timeline
1
Days 1–5
Pigment Darkens (Normal)
Age spots and pigmentation temporarily darken before flaking off — this is the treatment working. Thread veins may appear red or bruised briefly after treatment.
2
Weeks 1–3
Visible Improvement
Pigmented spots fade and peel away. Thread veins close and fade. Rosacea redness visibly reduces as diffuse vessels contract under the light energy.
3
Month 1–2
Clear, Even Complexion
Significant improvement in skin clarity and evenness. Multiple pigment spots or vessels have cleared; overall skin tone is more uniform and luminous.
4
Month 3+
Ongoing Clearance
After a full course, remaining pigmentation or vessels continue to clear. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months prevent new sun-induced pigmentation forming.
POST-TREATMENT
Aftercare Guidance
First 24–48 Hours
Protect Treated Skin
Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and heat. Apply only a gentle moisturiser — no active ingredients. For thread vein treatment, minor bruising is normal and resolves within a week.
Days 3–14
Let Pigment Flake
Age spots will darken then naturally shed — do not pick or exfoliate aggressively. SPF 50+ is essential every morning. Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids until skin has settled.
Week 2+
Resume Brightening Routine
Once skin has healed, a vitamin C serum and daily SPF 50+ will enhance and maintain your IPL results. Avoid deliberate tanning to prevent new pigmentation forming.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
"I've been here quite a few times having different treatments, one of my first and favourite was the IPL facial to treat a very cherry berry flushed face which had became embarrassing and I now no longer have that problem."
★★★★★
"Maxine and Angel are great. I've done my 1st IPL treatment for thread veines and i've already seen results. Just booked my 2nd treatment. Can't praise them enough!"
★★★★★
"Maxine and the team are so friendly and welcoming and put me at ease straight away. I've had rosacea for a few years and have tried two different types of cream from the doctors, both of which didnt work. Having laser at Laser Skin Clinics has been a game changer."
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
If you’re unsure which option is best for you, our team will be happy to guide you.
