What Our Patients Say
What Is IPL?
Broad-Spectrum Light, Targeted Precisely
Intense Pulsed Light is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and treat a range of skin concerns (sun damage, age spots, rosacea, spider veins and uneven skin texture.
The light is absorbed by pigment and by redness, breaking them down so your body can clear them, while also stimulating collagen production underneath. That’s why one treatment can address brown spots, vascular redness and texture at the same time.
An honest caveat: IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones. A thorough consultation is essential so we can assess your skin type, discuss the risks, and decide whether IPL), or something else in our skin and laser range. Is genuinely the right fit. A patch test may be performed first.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is IPL suitable for all skin types?
Honestly, no. IPL is most effective on lighter skin tones. That’s why a thorough consultation with our team is essential: we assess your skin type, discuss the potential risks, and determine the most suitable treatment plan for you. A patch test may be performed before we proceed.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as a stinging or snapping sensation, which is usually brief and tolerable. Numbing is available if you’d prefer it.
How many treatments will I need, and when will I see results?
Typically 3 to 5 sessions are needed for optimal results, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Initial improvements can often be seen within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over several months as the skin regenerates.
Are there any side effects?
Expect mild to moderate redness, temporary swelling for 24 to 48 hours, and a mild sunburn sensation. Bruising and temporary dryness are possible. Follow your post-treatment guidelines, use SPF 30+, apply gentle moisturizers, avoid harsh products, and keep an eye on the treated area.
Can IPL treat acne, and can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. IPL can be used to treat acne, particularly inflammatory acne, by targeting bacteria, reducing inflammation and decreasing redness and swelling. It can also be combined with other skin treatments; we’d recommend discussing your goals with our team so a tailored plan can be created for you.
