IPL Skin Rejuvenation

• You will have a consultation with a qualified clinician to assess skin concerns and suitability for IPL Skin Rejuvenation therapy.

• This will involve a review of medical history and any contraindications, discussion of treatment goals and expected outcomes, explanation of how the device works and what to expect during the session, and selection of the correct settings for your skin concern.

• The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, sunscreen, or oils.

• A cooling gel and conducting medium is applied to the skin for comfort and to enhance light transmission.

• You and your clinician wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from the intense light flashes.

• A handheld IPL device is placed against the skin and controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light are emitted, targeting superficial capillaries, pigmentation, redness, uneven skintone, and acne-causing bacteria.

• You may feel a warm snapping or flicking sensation, similar to a rubber band on the skin.

• After the IPL treatment is complete, the treatment area is gently cleansed to remove any remaining conducting gel.

• Your clinician will apply a cosmeceutical Post Laser Recovery Serum to soothe, cool and protect the skin; relieving redness and supporting a calm and effective recovery.

• An accelerated and concentrated serum and lightweight moisturising crème, precisely tailored to hydrate and support the skin’s natural healing abilities, is applied to your skin.

• To conclude, we apply a cosmeceutical SPF 50+ sunscreen for added protection.

• Post-treatment, we highly recommend 20-30 minutes under the LED Light (Yellow Light) to aid in the reduction of swelling and encourage cellular waste removal (promoting detoxification and stimulating lymphatic flow). This is key to skin tone correction, as this process removes your body’s toxins and waste, leading to a clearer and more ‘even’ complexion.

• Mild redness or warmth in the treated area is normal and usually subsides within a few hours.

• Skin may feel like mild sunburn – this can last up to 24–48 hours.

• Slight swelling may occur, especially in areas with pigmentation or broken capillaries.

• Darkening of pigmentation (freckles, sunspots) is normal – they may appear more prominent before flaking or fading over 7–10 days.

• Mild flaking or dryness may occur as the skin naturally exfoliates (this is expected).

• Skin may feel tighter or slightly sensitive for a few days as collagen production is stimulated.

• Continue to apply a cosmeceutical Post Laser Recovery Serum.

• Results are best seen with a course of multiple sessions, spaced apart, often as part of a treatment plan.
Refer to 4 Treatment Modalities.

• No sun exposure or tanning (including fake tan) for at least 2 weeks – use SPF 30+ or higher daily on treated areas.

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, spas, and steam rooms for 24–48 hours – heat can irritate freshly treated skin.

• Avoid active skincare products for 2–5 days, including: Retinol, AHAs (like Glycolic Acid), BHAs (Salicylic Acid), Benzoyl Peroxide, and Vitamin C.

• Do not scrub, exfoliate, or pick at the treated area – let any pigmented spots darken and flake off (let them shed naturally).

• No intense exercise for 24 hours, to reduce risk of overheating and irritation.

• Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours, as these can impair vascular response and skin healing, especially after vascular/pigment targeting.
