Medical IPL Photorejuvenation

Medical IPL Photorejuvenation is a device-based treatment designed to reduce selected redness and uneven pigmentation with intense pulsed light. The approach is personalised after a full clinical assessment.

The appointment usually takes 20-45 minutes. Pigmented spots may darken first, and improvement is usually seen over 1-3 weeks. The result is assessed after the treated pigment or redness settles, often after several sessions. Improvement may last months to years, but new redness or pigment can develop. Maintenance depends on the condition, sun exposure and response to the initial course.

Discomfort is usually rated around 2-3 out of 10, although each person's experience can differ. Anaesthesia is usually not required; cooling gel or air may be used. Expected downtime is 1-3 days. Normal activity follows clinical advice. Mild swelling or puffiness usually settles within 1-2 days. Duration varies with the treated area and individual response. Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, dryness, swelling, crusting or peeling can occur depending on treatment depth.

Consider this treatment when you want to reduce selected redness and uneven pigmentation with intense pulsed light and a clinician confirms that the device or removal method is suitable for your skin and diagnosis. It is generally well tolerated in suitable patients when performed by a qualified practitioner after medical screening, but no treatment is risk-free. Correct diagnosis, device selection, skin-type assessment and eye protection where relevant are essential. Share your medical history, allergies, medicines and previous procedures, and do not stop prescribed medicine unless the prescribing clinician advises it. Avoid tanning and postpone treatment for active infection, open wounds or unexplained lesions. Use gentle skincare and high sun protection, avoid picking or strong active products, and follow the clinic’s instructions about heat and exercise. Urgent concerns should be reported promptly.
