What is IPL skin rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive, light-based treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target visible signs of ageing and skin imperfections.
At Skintastic Aesthetic Lasers Ltd we use medical-grade IPL systems to support collagen stimulation, help reduce the appearance of pigmentation, help calm visible redness, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
The treatment is used for sun damage, age spots, uneven pigmentation, rosacea and dull skin. IPL is light rather than laser, and it works with your skin over a course of sessions rather than in a single visit.
Results vary from person to person. Skin type, the concern being treated, sun exposure and aftercare all affect what IPL can achieve, which is why every treatment plan starts with an assessment and a patch test rather than a fixed promise.
Key benefits
- Improves skin tone and clarity
- Stimulates collagen for firmer, younger-looking skin
- Helps reduce the appearance of sun damage and pigmentation
- Helps calm visible redness and rosacea
- Improves skin texture and radiance
- Non-invasive, with minimal downtime
Who can benefit?
This treatment is suitable for individuals with:
- Sun-damaged skin
- Age spots and pigmentation
- Rosacea or general redness
- Fine lines and uneven skin tone
- Dull, lacklustre complexion
A patch test and consultation are required to assess skin suitability and safety. IPL is not suitable for all skin tones, and it is not carried out on recently tanned skin.
What to expect during treatment
Preparation
Skin is cleansed and a cooling gel is applied to the treatment area.
Treatment
The IPL handpiece delivers light pulses to the target areas.
Sensation
A slight warming or snapping sensation may be felt as each pulse is delivered.
Treatment time
Approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Downtime
No anaesthesia is required and downtime is minimal.
Your course
For best results, a course of 3–6 sessions at 3–4 week intervals is recommended.
Pre-treatment advice
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and fake tan for at least 2–4 weeks
- Discontinue use of retinoids, AHAs, BHAs and exfoliants 5–7 days before
- No waxing, plucking or laser treatments on the area for 1 week
- Ensure skin is free from make-up, lotions or perfumes on the day
- Notify your practitioner of any medications, medical changes or skin concerns
Post-treatment care
Following your session, the treated area may appear red or feel warm, similar to mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24–48 hours.
- Apply a soothing gel or cool compress if needed
- Use a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturiser
- Avoid heat, exercise, saunas and hot showers for 48 hours
- Do not use active skincare ingredients for 5–7 days
- Use SPF 30+ daily to protect the skin and prevent pigmentation
- Do not pick, rub or exfoliate the treated area
Results and maintenance
Improvements in skin clarity, tone and radiance are typically noticeable after a few sessions.
Full benefits become visible with cumulative treatments, which is why IPL is planned as a course rather than a one-off. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months may be recommended to prolong results.
Daily SPF 30+ makes a real difference to how long results last, because the same sun exposure that caused much of the pigmentation will bring it back.
