IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Rather than a single laser wavelength, it sends gentle pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin, where the energy is absorbed by the brown of sun spots and the red of vessels and flushing. Those targets break down and your body clears them naturally, while the surrounding skin is left intact. The result is a brighter, more uniform complexion without resurfacing the whole surface of your skin.
IPL is best for tone and colour concerns rather than texture or deep lines.
IPL works beautifully on many skin tones, but because it targets pigment, it is not suitable for every skin type, and recent tans need to settle first. That is exactly what your consultation is for. We assess your skin, ask about sun exposure and any history of pigment concerns like melasma, and confirm IPL is the right choice or point you toward a peel or laser that fits better.
Home Care Tip: a daily medical-grade SPF 30 or higher, a vitamin C antioxidant serum in the morning, and a gentle barrier-supporting moisturizer.
Your aesthetician can match products from our Vivier and Dermalogica range.

Most guests find it very tolerable. The pulses feel like a quick, warm snap against the skin, cushioned by a cooling gel. No numbing is required for most people.
Very little. You may be slightly pink for a few hours, and sun spots typically darken then flake off over several days. Most guests return to normal activities right away, with sunscreen as the priority.
Redness can look calmer within days, and sun spots usually fade after they darken and shed over the following week or two. Results build with each session in a series.
Yes. IPL is one of the most effective non-invasive options for reducing facial redness, flushing, and small visible vessels. We will confirm it suits your skin at your consultation.
