IPL Skin Rejuvenation is one of the most effective treatments for smoothing out the tone and texture of your skin and can help in treating rosacea, age spots, sun damage/spots, and general skin tone irregularities.

A clear complexion is desired by many but it can be very difficult to achieve and maintain even with a set skincare regime.

IPL Photorejuvenation uses advanced technology to allow us to customise treatments for different skin tones and conditions. It is ideal for improving the overall look and texture of the skin without the need for intense downtime associated with surgery or other intense skin procedures.

IPL Photorejuvenation is performed in our clinics in London Harley Street and Manchester by trained skin specialists who are highly qualified.

  • The Treatment
  • Aftercare

IPL Photorejuvenation Treatment

Your IPL Photorejuvenation treatment will start with a cleanse of the skin before a mask is placed over the eyes to protect them from the light. The IPL device will then be gently pressed onto the skin and it will emit an intense pulsed light which then passes through the skin epidermis and penetrates deeper into the dermis where the pulsed light energy heats up and stimulates cells called fibroblasts to encourage the production of fresh collagen. IPL emits a wide range of light waves which also work to reduce the appearance of redness, brown spots and discoloration in the skin as they absorb the light and eventually fade over a course of treatment.

After your IPL Photorejuvenation Treatment

You may need to have several treatments of IPL Photorejuvenation to achieve your desired result. Our skin specialists usually recommend 3-6 treatments spaced 1 month apart. Once your course of treatment is finished you will notice an improvement in skin discolouration, redness, sun damage and age spots. Your skin will have an overall fresh and rejuvenated appearance.

Most patients are able to return to their regular activities shortly after treatment. Your skin may be red and sensitive for a few hours following treatment, similar to sunburn. You should avoid exposure to the sun and hot water for 48 hours.

FAQs

  • How do I prepare for IPL Photorejuvenation?

    We advise patients to avoid tanning and excessive sun exposure 6 weeks prior to their IPL treatment. It is also best to avoid any treatments that are likely to irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks before treatment which can include waxing. Your specialist skin practitioner will be able to go through your medical history that you provided at your consultation to advice on any medications that may cause bruising and if you have a history of cold sores than you may be required to seek GP advice before you start having treatment.

  • How does IPL Photorejuvenation treat pigmentation?

    IPL Photorejuvenation is a great treatment for improving the appearance of pigmentation such as age spots and sun damage. The intense pulsed light emits light waves which are absorbed by the melanin and haemoglobin in the skin which causes the pigment to fragment. These pigment fragments are then broken down naturally by the body making them less visible in appearance. Click here to book a consultation to find out more about how IPL Photorejuvenation can help improve the appearance of pigmentation.

  • How soon will I see the results?

    You will start to see some improvement in your skin a week after each IPL Photorejuvenation treatment. The best results will be seen 3-5 months after your last treatment if having a course. Your results may vary after each treatment and usually each treatment you have will be a little stronger than the one before meaning the results will start to become more noticeable over time. To find out how IPL Photorejuvenation can help you click here to book a consultation with our skin specialists.

  • How much does IPL Photorejuvenation cost?

    The cost of IPL Photorejuvenation treatment starts from £200. However price may vary depending on: The type of treatment required. The areas treated. The number of treatments needed. The best way to find out the cost of IPL Photorejuvenation treatment is to book a consultation with one of our expert laser skin practitioners where they will come up with a personalised treatment plan to help you achieve the results you desire. Consultations with our expert laser skin practitioners are £25 however this cost is redeemable against the price of any skin treatment that you wish to book following your consultation.

    Excellent treatment guided by Dr.Nicholas Kalavrezos and the Anaesthesia Team led by Dr Martinez. It was mg first time under General A and I wasn’t too excited. From start to finish all the nurses were superb, the room was clean and my food was also yummy. Sometimes it pays to sort your Private Medical Insurance our. The surgery was booked in less than a week after my 2nd consultation. MRSA and Covid Test also were done prior. I can not recommend The Harley Street Clinic enough. Thank you everyone. Regards Monica

    Had a FUE hair transplant on 16 December with Dr Furqan Raja. He and the two nurses he worked with were fantastic! They made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure and constantly checked in with me. I had 1700 grafts taken from the back of my head and put into the front where I had gone bald either side of my windows peak. It took a bit longer than I thought (about 8.5 hours) but this was due to the high quality, attention to detail and best result they wanted to achieve for me. I had the procedure done at the Leeds clinic but could have chosen Manchester too. I travelled two hours there and back in one day. I am now following the after care information they gave me and also the full kit of products they provided (all included in the price) to help me make sure I look after the new grafts properly. I have follow up appointments with the nurse and access to an emergency on call nurse 24/7 if required. But so far, I have no pain and everything is exactly as described to me in advance of the procedure. I did a LOT of research online and found many of the other national FUE/FUT hair transplant clinics too sales driven and very pushy. Dr Furqan Raja and the team at the private clinic gave me time and space to decide on what was right for me, and importantly they never sold to me but just answered all my questions in a professional, caring and trustworthy manor. This is why I chose them and looking at the early results I am pleased I did! If you speak to other clinics and do your research, make sure you also book a consultation with The Private Clinic. Alex Clair in Manchester was my Patient Coordinator and he went out of his way to help me and gave me lots of free, practical and helpful information up front. Their straightforward, honest and friendly approach was great throughout. Highly recommended Dr Furqan Raja, Alex Clair and the whole team.

    All of a sudden I noticed these veins under my eyes, it was soooo upsetting to see everyday! I didn’t think I could do anything about them. Until I googled and it came up with Harley street and they did removal of under eye veins. I rang the them up and they was so helpful! And from there I was booked in and was so happy to know I can get something done! Everytime I called up nothing was a problem and was always happy to talk to me and answer any questions I had. When it came to the day of the procedure, Marie was so calming and made me feel as relaxed as possible. It was a little uncomfortable but soooo worth it as the results are amazing! Very happy I chose Harley street for the this treatment! Thankyou so much!

    I had treatment with Nurse Marie. She was so kind. The first treatment was rather painful and when I came in for my second round I was very nervous. Marie was so caring, she totally understood and took her time treating. Would definitely recommend.

    Anti – aging treatments with Dr Santa Cruz are a must for me. I have been seeing her for about 3 years now at the Private Clinic of Harley Street. Very knowledgeable and takes before and after photos which have been incredibly helpful when we want to see how much of a difference the treatment has made. I would highly recommend her as her treatments are 100% effective and painless. Also I feel safe with the covid -safe measures they have in place.
