Everything you need to know about IPL Skin Rejuvenation.
What is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is a versatile, non-invasive treatment that improves overall skin tone and texture. It works by delivering pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin, targeting specific pigments and blood vessels to address a range of skin concerns.
This treatment stimulates collagen production, reduces redness and pigmentation, and helps to create a clearer, brighter, and more youthful complexion. It’s a popular option for treating multiple skin issues without the need for surgery or significant downtime.
How does it work?
Light Absorption: The IPL device emits pulses of light that are absorbed by:
Melanin (pigment) – for pigmentation and sunspot removal
Haemoglobin (blood) – for redness and thread veins
Breakdown of Pigment and Vessels: The heat from the light energy breaks down the targeted pigment or blood vessel walls.
Natural Elimination: The body naturally removes the damaged pigment or vessel through the lymphatic system.
Stimulation of Collagen: The heat also stimulates collagen production, improving skin firmness and texture.
Clearer & Healthier Skin: Over time, the skin appears smoother, more even-toned, and revitalized.
What are the benefits?
Versatile Treatment: Treats multiple skin concerns in a single session.
Non-Invasive & Minimal Downtime: No needles or surgery required, with most people able to resume normal activities immediately.
Long-Lasting Results: Results improve over several weeks as the skin renews itself.
Boosts Collagen Production: Improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and increases skin
elasticity.
Customizable: Settings can be adjusted to suit different skin types and concerns.
Types of Skin Rejuvenation I offer:
Pigmentation Removal
Targets and reduces; sunspots, age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation and melasma (mild cases)
Leaves skin looking brighter and more even-toned.
Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off naturally over the following days.
Blood Vessel and Thread Vein Removal
Targets and reduces: broken capillaries, spider veins and redness from thin blood vessels.
Works by collapsing the blood vessels, which are then reabsorbed by the body.
Most effective on small, superficial veins and redness.
General Facial Rejuvenation
Improves overall skin quality by: smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing enlarged pores, and increasing skin firmness through collagen stimulation
Leaves skin looking fresh, glowing, and youthful after just a few sessions.
Helps refine skin texture and improve overall skin tone.
Are there any risks/side effects?
Eye Damage: There is a risk of eye damage from lasers, which will be minimised by the wearing of protective goggles during laser use.
Mild Redness & Swelling: The treated area may appear red or slightly swollen for a few hours.
Darkening of Pigmentation: Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off, which is a normal part of the healing process.
Tingling or Warm Sensation: Some people feel a mild stinging or warming during the procedure.
Blistering or Scabbing (Rare): If settings are too high or skin is overly sensitive, mild blistering or scabbing may occur.
Risk of Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Especially in darker skin tones, incorrect settings can cause pigmentation changes.
Multiple Sessions Required: For best results, 3–6 sessions are typically needed, depending on the condition being treated.
