Before the treatment can start, we will assess your current state of the skin. If you are visiting us for the first time, please allow an additional hour for our complete Facial Imaging Skin Assessment.

A test patch will be carried out at least 24 hours prior to initial treatment to determine the IPL treatment is effective and, most importantly, safe for you.

Recent sun exposure or the application of self-tanners is contraindicated.

It is very important that you keep your skin and body well-hydrated before and after the treatment.

At the start of IPL treatment, the treated area of your skin will be cleaned and a cool gel applied.

You will experience quick warm to hot flicks as the light is applied to your skin, which may leave your skin feeling a little warm afterwards (similar to sunburn). Prickling and a mild stinging sensation can sometimes be present, too - this is normal and to be expected.

Whilst we focus on delivering results, your safety is our highest priority; this is why undergoing a test patch before an IPL treatment is so important.

Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness (similar to sunburn), which usually disappears within a few hours. In most cases, you will be able to reapply your makeup right after the IPL treatment.

Depending on your skin condition and goals, you might require several follow-up or maintenance treatments and/or homecare.

For several days after treatment, we advise being particularly vigilant about wearing sunscreen and keeping your skin and body hydrated.
