Before and After IPL Face Treatment

IPL delivers noticeable improvements in skin clarity, tone, and texture. Results depend on the specific condition being treated, skin type, and adherence to aftercare.

Expected improvements:

Reduction in sunspots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation
More even skin tone with diminished redness and broken capillaries
Smoother texture with refined pores
Stimulation of collagen for subtle anti-ageing effects

Before treatment:

Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks.
Refrain from using retinol, strong acids, or active skincare ingredients that may increase sensitivity.
Attend a consultation to assess skin suitability.

After treatment:

Mild redness and slight swelling may occur, typically subsiding within hours to a few days.
Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off over one to two weeks.
Sunscreen (SPF 30+) is essential to protect treated skin and prevent new pigmentation.
Avoid heat exposure, vigorous exercise, and exfoliating treatments for at least 48 hours.

Full results develop progressively, with optimal outcomes achieved after three to six sessions.

What is IPL Face Treatment?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based therapy designed to address multiple skin concerns without damaging the surrounding tissue. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths to penetrate different layers of the skin.

Conditions treated with IPL:

Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots
Rosacea and facial redness
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Acne and post-inflammatory pigmentation
Uneven skin tone and enlarged pores

The treatment works by delivering controlled light pulses that are absorbed by melanin (pigmentation) or haemoglobin (blood vessels), breaking down unwanted pigment and promoting collagen production.

IPL Face Treatment Process: Step by Step

The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort, and requires little to no downtime.

Consultation & Skin Assessment
A professional evaluates skin type and concerns to determine suitability. A patch test may be performed to ensure safe response.
Preparation
The skin is cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to enhance light penetration and minimise discomfort. Protective eyewear is provided.
IPL Application
A handheld device delivers controlled light pulses to the target areas. A slight snapping sensation may be felt, similar to an elastic band flicking the skin.
Post-Treatment Care
Cooling may be applied to reduce temporary redness. Patients are advised to avoid heat, sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is IPL treatment good for your face?
Yes, IPL is a clinically proven treatment for improving skin tone, reducing pigmentation, and stimulating collagen. It is suitable for various concerns, including sun damage, redness, and mild acne scarring. However, it is not recommended for darker skin tones or individuals with active infections or severe sensitivity.

How long does an IPL facial last?
Each session typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area treated. Results develop gradually, with improvements visible within a few weeks. With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last several months to a year before maintenance sessions are needed.

How many IPL sessions are needed for the face?
Most patients require three to six sessions spaced three to four weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number depends on individual skin concerns, with pigmentation and redness often requiring more sessions than general skin rejuvenation. A consultation helps determine the best treatment plan.
