IPL Rosacea & Facial Redness
in Southampton
Persistent facial redness can be frustrating even when the skin feels comfortable. We assess suitable redness and visible superficial vessels in Southampton and explain when IPL may help their appearance.
Patch test at least 48 hours before treatmentAll laser treatments require this minimum interval. Our booking policy also applies it to light treatments. Longer observation may be advised.

Understanding your options
How the treatment is approached
IPL can target selected superficial vascular changes. Rosacea is a long-term condition with different features: treating visible redness does not cure the condition or automatically treat eye symptoms, thickened skin or every type of flare.

Areas and treatment options
Visible cheek and facial vessels
Selected superficial vessels can be assessed. Our current IPL facial-redness menu excludes the nose. Targeted 980nm diode treatment is a separate assessment.
Rosacea-associated flushing
We discuss the difference between persistent background redness and episodes of flushing. Results for one do not guarantee control of the other.
Redness with sensitive skin
Skin-barrier problems and active irritation need consideration before using energy-based treatment.
Experience behind your care
Clinical practice.
Professional education.
Established in Southampton since 2011, Skintastic brings over 15 years of industry experience to consultation and treatment planning.
An academy as well as a clinic
We deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications. Our owner is an assessor and Internal Quality Assurer (IQA), and also acts as a UK Responsible Person (UKRP) for medical devices.
For this laser or light service, we use medical-grade equipment registered with the MHRA, as part of our assessed treatment protocols.
Ofqual regulates qualifications and awarding organisations. MHRA device registration is not approval or endorsement of a device or clinic. Professional experience does not remove treatment risks, which we discuss individually.
Results & recovery
What to expect
A course and later maintenance may be needed. Redness can recur because underlying triggers remain. The treatment plan sets out areas, likely recovery and the point at which we review progress.
Suitability and risks
Temporary redness, swelling and bruising are possible, alongside burns, blisters and pigment changes. New or unexplained redness, eye symptoms and severe inflammatory rosacea may require medical review.

Before & after
Plan for your appointment
Before you attend
Start with a consultation and patch test at least 48 hours before treatment. Tell us about medicines, recent tanning, previous reactions and changes in health. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber’s advice.
Aftercare and follow-up
Tell us about triggers, eye discomfort, medicines and previous rosacea treatment. After treatment use gentle skincare and sun protection, and avoid triggers that noticeably worsen your skin while it recovers.
Your questions
Before you decide
Can IPL cure rosacea?
No. It may reduce selected visible features, while ongoing management of the condition remains important.
Do you treat the nose with this IPL service?
Our current IPL facial-redness menu excludes the nose, including full-face and face-and-neck appointments. Ask us about the appropriate assessment for a nose-area concern.
Is thread-vein treatment the same?
Targeted 980nm diode treatment is a separate service. The vessel pattern and location help determine the choice.
How much will my treatment cost?
Courses are optional, subject to suitability, and save 10% against the listed single-session total. The £10 consultation and patch test is charged separately; the course or package price excludes it.
Will I need a course?
That depends on the concern, suitability and response. We discuss the likely commitment and review progress before recommending more appointments.
Can I have treatment on the day of my patch test?
No. Our minimum interval is 48 hours for laser and light treatments. Some circumstances require longer observation. A patch test cannot eliminate every risk.
Where is the clinic?
