IPL/Laser Skin Treatments

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive, advanced skin treatment that uses light energy to target specific skin concerns without damaging the surrounding tissue. IPL is effective in treating rosacea and facial redness, sun damage/pigmentation, broken capillaries, and occasionally acne and improving overall skin tone, texture, and radiance. By delivering pulses of light deep into the skin, IPL stimulates collagen production and encourages cellular renewal, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion over time.

Proper preparation and aftercare are essential to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your IPL treatment. Avoiding sun exposure, using the right skincare, and following all pre- and post-treatment guidelines will help reduce the risk of complications and enhance your results. Your clinician will guide you through every step to ensure your skin is fully supported before, during, and after your treatment.

Pre-Treatment Instructions for IPL Skin Treatments

(Rejuvenation, Pigmentation, Acne & Rosacea/Redness)

2 Weeks Before Treatment:

• Avoid all sun exposure and tanning. The skin must not be sunburnt or recently tanned at the time of treatment.
• Avoid incidental sun exposure (even with SPF); stay in the shade and wear protective clothing whenever outdoors.
• Do not apply fake tan or gradual tanning products on the treatment area. The skin must be completely free of any tan residue, or treatment cannot proceed.
• Cease the use of active skincare products, including retinol, Vitamin A, AHAs, BHAs, and benzoyl peroxide, at least 3–7 days prior to your appointment.
• Avoid any other skin treatments in the treatment area, including chemical peels, resurfacing, needling, waxing, and threading.
• If you’ve had the Advanced Brightening & Clearing Peel or the Anti-Ageing Peel, please allow a 4-week gap before IPL treatment.
• Discontinue Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) at least 6 months prior to treatment.
• Cease use of photosensitising medications (including some antibiotics) only under guidance from your prescribing doctor.
• Notify your clinician of any medications or supplements you are taking — including over-the-counter products — and any recent changes.
• Do not use tanning injections or agents such as Melanotan II for at least 6 months before your treatment.
• If you are prone to cold sores and the treatment area is near the mouth, begin a prescribed antiviral medication 1–2 days before your appointment.
• You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, unless cleared by your healthcare provider.

24–48 Hours Before:

• Stay well hydrated and ensure adequate rest.
• Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and heat exposure (such as saunas, spas, or long hot showers).

Laser/ IPL Aftercare Instructions

(For Rosacea/Redness, Pigmentation, and Skin Rejuvenation Treatments)

To ensure the best results and minimise complications, please follow the aftercare instructions below:

Immediately After Treatment:

• Mild redness, warmth, and sensitivity similar to sunburn are normal and typically subside within 24–48 hours.
• You may experience temporary swelling or darkening of pigment spots. This is expected and part of the healing process.
• Do not touch, rub, pick, or scratch the treated area.

First 24–72 Hours:

• Avoid heat exposure, including hot showers, saunas, spas, and exercise that causes sweating.
• Do not apply active ingredients such as retinol, AHAs/BHAs, or Vitamin C.
• Avoid makeup on the treated area for the first 24 hours if possible. If makeup is necessary, use mineral-based products and ensure brushes/sponges are clean.
• Keep the area cool. You can use cold compresses or cooling gel if needed for comfort.
• Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturiser to support barrier repair. Your clinician may recommend a specific post-treatment product.
• Avoid any other skin treatments on the treated area for at least 7–14 days, unless advised otherwise.

Ongoing Care (Up to 2 Weeks):

• SPF 50+ must be applied daily. Strict sun avoidance is crucial while healing and in the weeks following treatment to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation and maximise results.
• Do not use fake tan, solariums, or tanning products on the treated area for 2 weeks post-treatment.
• Avoid exfoliating products and active skincare until your clinician advises it’s safe to resume.
• Pigmented lesions may darken and flake off over 5–10 days. This is normal — allow the skin to shed naturally.

Additional Notes:

• If you are prone to cold sores and were treated near the lip area, continue antiviral medication as prescribed.
• Always notify the clinic if you experience any signs of infection, prolonged redness, blistering, or any other concerns.

Your Next Steps:

All IPL treatments performed at our clinic require a thorough pre-treatment consultation to assess your individual skin concerns, medical history, and overall suitability. During this consultation, your clinician will determine whether IPL is the most appropriate option for your skin type and condition. It is essential that all medical information, medications, and relevant skin history are disclosed accurately to ensure your safety and achieve the best possible results.

Before proceeding with treatment, you will be provided with detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, expected outcomes, and aftercare. This allows you to make an informed decision and give informed & written consent with confidence and clarity.

Skin Needling (with Optional Mesotherapy Add-On)

Skin Needling
Skin needling (collagen induction therapy) uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It improves fine lines, acne scarring, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall skin firmness.
Proper preparation and aftercare are essential to minimise downtime and complications and to maximise your results. Your clinician will guide you through every step before and after treatment to ensure your skin is fully supported.

Mesotherapy Add-On
Mesotherapy involves the infusion or injection of active ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Exosomes, tailored serums, and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) directly into the skin to enhance and accelerate rejuvenation. This treatment is commonly combined with skin needling to deliver nutrients more deeply and effectively.

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) hydrates and plumps skin, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines.
• Exosomes promote cellular regeneration and collagen production for improved skin health and appearance.
• Tailored Serums target specific concerns such as pigmentation, redness, or dullness.
• PRP utilises your body’s own platelets to stimulate natural healing, boost collagen, and refine skin texture.

This mesotherapy add-on is available at an additional cost and can significantly enhance your skin needling results.
