Further Information about Pigmentation & Vascular IPL Removal

What to expect from your treatment

The treatment process of IPL involves several steps, and patients can expect a specific experience during the procedure.

Consultation: Prior to the procedure, patients have a consultation with a qualified practitioner to discuss their skin concerns, expectations, and medical history.
Preparation: On the day of the treatment, the skin is cleansed to remove any makeup or products. Protective eyewear is provided to shield the eyes from the bright light.
Conductive Gel Application: A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area to enhance comfort and protect the skin.
LimeLight IPL: Emits pulses of light at varying wavelengths. This light penetrates the skin and targets specific concerns like pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone.
Sensation: During treatment, patients will feel a warm flick sensation and pain will depend on each individual.
Calming: Total Recovery Gel is applied over the skin to assist with heat to soothe and calm the skin.
LED Light Therapy: 20 minutes under our healing light boosts cellular recovery while promoting further benefits for the skin.
Visual Effects: Redness to the skin will occur immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Heat sensation will subside within an hr post treatment, and redness will subside by the following day.

How to prepare your skin for treatment

Post Care Requirements

Adhering to these post-care instructions will help ensure effective recovery and maximise the results of your IPL treatment. Always follow any specific advice given by your practitioner. Post-care instructions after an IPL skin rejuvenation treatment are essential for optimal healing and results. Here’s a comprehensive list you should follow:

Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect the treated area.
Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or vigorous exercise for at least 48 hours to prevent irritation.
Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, hydrating cleanser to clean the treated area. Avoid scrubbing or exfoliating for several days.
Moisturiser: Avoid moisturiser the same day as treatment. Applying a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing is recommended for the following days.
Avoid Makeup: Try to avoid wearing makeup for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe and recover.
Do Not Pick or Scrub: Avoid picking at any crusting or peeling skin that may occur as the skin heals. This can lead to scarring.
Cool Compresses: If you experience redness or swelling, apply cool compresses to the treated area to soothe discomfort.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help your skin stay hydrated and support the healing process.
Monitor Changes: Watch for any unusual reactions, such as excessive redness, blistering, or other concerns.
Follow-Up Appointment: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and results.

FAQs

What is IPL Photo Rejuvenation?

IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. It’s a light-based skin treatment that targets sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and uneven skin tone. Think of it as a reset button for clearer, more radiant skin.

What does IPL treat?

IPL is great for improving:

Sunspots and pigmentation
Broken capillaries and redness
Rosacea
Uneven skin tone
Freckles
Dull, tired-looking skin
It can also help with mild acne and boost collagen production.

How does IPL work?

IPL delivers short bursts of broad-spectrum light that penetrate below the skin’s surface. The light is absorbed by pigment and blood vessels, breaking them down so your body can naturally clear them away.

Is it the same as laser?

Not quite. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light (like a camera flash), while lasers use a focused beam. IPL is versatile and can treat multiple skin concerns in one session—but both are great in their own ways depending on your goals.

Does IPL hurt?

It’s often described as a quick flick or snap, like a rubber band against the skin. Most people tolerate it well, and cooling gels or devices are used to keep you comfortable.

How long does a treatment take?

Most sessions take 30-60 minutes, depending on the area. It’s quick enough to fit into a lunch break!

Is there any downtime?

Minimal. You might be a little pink or warm for a few hours after, and pigment spots may temporarily darken before flaking away over a few days. Most people go straight back to normal activities.

How many sessions will I need?

A course of 1-3 treatments, spaced about 4 weeks apart, is usually recommended for best results. Your skin will continue to improve with each session.

When will I see results?

You may see changes even after your first treatment! Full results appear gradually over several weeks as pigmentation lifts and skin tone evens out.

Is IPL safe for all skin types?

IPL works best on lighter skin tones with concerns like sun damage or redness. It’s not always suitable for deeper skin tones due to the risk of pigmentation changes—but we’ll assess your skin carefully before recommending it.

Can I combine IPL with other treatments?

Yes! IPL works beautifully with treatments like:

LED Light Therapy
Hydrafacial or skin peels
Skin tightening
Laser Genesis
We can tailor a plan to suit your skin goals

What should I avoid before and after IPL?

Before: Avoid sun exposure, fake tan, and active skincare (like retinol) for 1–2 weeks
After: Wear SPF daily, avoid heat (like hot showers or saunas) for 24–48 hours, and follow your aftercare instructions closely
