What is IPL Treatment?

Intense Pulsed Light or IPL treatment uses high-intensity bursts of light to break down cells of specific colours within your skin – for example, red thread veins or darker areas of pigmentation. This makes it a fantastic choice if you want to tackle issues such as broken veins, rosacea, acne or sun damage.

As well as destroying the targeted cells, the heat from the light stimulates your body’s natural healing response to create new collagen and elastin. These are both integral to strong, healthy skin, and you will notice that your skin looks and feels firmer and smoother.

Awarding-winning technology

We use an award-winning, medical-grade IPL machine to deliver IPL treatment at Aesthetics Lab. By using light on different wavelengths, this technology is capable of targeting and treating multiple skin conditions at the same time – some can be dealt with in as little as one session.

Our IPL machine features high-precision filters that we can modify to make the light respond in a certain way to the skin condition(s) we need to treat. This allows for exceptionally precise and personalised treatment to give you the best results.

The technology also includes an integrated cooling system to minimise any possible uncomfortable sensations and protect your skin against blistering or overheating.
Following IPL treatment, your skin tone should look far more even, with significant improvements to scarring, rosacea or other areas of discolouration.

Treatment step-by-step

Step 1: Consultation

You’ll have a consultation before your IPL treatment at our aesthetics clinics in Belgravia or Primrose Hill to discuss your medical history, skin health, and treatment goals, and to ensure there are no contraindications. This is an opportunity to ask us any questions you might have about your treatment. We will be happy to answer them.

Step 2: During your treatment

During this treatment, we’ll use a handheld device to pulse broad wavelength light onto your skin. In turn, your skin will capture and absorb the energy in the light, transforming it into heat, which damages any dilated veins, pigment or acne bacteria, and reduces their appearance, leaving your skin looking clearer after each session.
Thanks to the innovative technology in our IPL machine, you shouldn’t experience any discomfort during the procedure.

Step 3: After the treatment

There is usually no downtime after IPL treatment and most people are able to go back to their daily activities straight away. However, you may experience slight redness, swelling or scabbing in the treatment area due to the fact that some skin cells have been destroyed and others are healing. Always follow the aftercare advice to ensure the best results.
We recommend that you avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after each treatment and that you wear SPF.
Although your skin will show clear improvements after just one treatment, you should see ongoing improvements after each IPL session.

Frequently asked questions

What does IPL treatment feel like?

Our IPL machine features an integrated cooling system – the Sapphire Spot – that’s designed to minimise any discomfort during this treatment and protect your skin against overheating or blistering. In our experience, most people find IPL surprisingly comfortable, but others do describe a stinging or snapping sensation (a bit like an elastic band being pinged against the skin!) with each pulse of light. This is generally mild and tolerable.

What are the potential side effects of IPL?

IPL treatment can cause some minor side effects such as redness, bruising, swelling or scabbing of the skin. These usually ease within a matter of hours to a couple of days. Our Aestheticians are highly experienced at using this technology to address a wide range of issues and will give you detailed aftercare information for the best results.

Is IPL suitable for all skin types?

Intense Pulsed Light treatment is generally considered safe for most skin types, but it may not be suitable for everyone. If you have a very dark skin tone or a recent tan, you may be at a higher risk of experiencing side effects, such as hyperpigmentation, because your skin contains more melanin, which absorbs the light energy from this procedure.

One of the reasons that we always start with a consultation is to review whether the treatment you want is right for your skin.

How long do IPL results last?

IPL results can be long-lasting, but maintenance varies by skin type and lifestyle. Many clients enjoy clearer skin for several months, with regular treatments for optimal results.

How painful is an IPL treatment?

Most clients find IPL treatments tolerable, describing the sensation as a quick snap or mild tingling on the skin. Cooling devices or gels are often used to reduce discomfort, and any redness or slight swelling usually disappears within a few hours.

  I recently had a facial at Aesthetics Lab, and I can say that without a doubt it was the best treatment I have ever received. From the consultation which was very thorough, in which we discussed each of my concerns in depth, to the facial itself, which was incredible. I have had many facials in the past and none of them have been of this high standard. I was then recommended some products which I purchased from the clinic and have been using ever since. They have done wonders for my skin, and I will definitely be returning! I cannot recommend Aesthetics Lab enough, the staff are so lovely and accommodating and the treatments are fantastic!

  Emma and the aesthetics lab team are INCREDIBLE! I very rarely write reviews, but I am so happy with my experience with Emma, that I have to! I have recently been trying to explore how to optimise my skin. This is all new to me, so I was a bit hesitant and unsure going into the process. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience at a different clinic with a facial-gone-wrong, and am dealing with ongoing acne as a result. I had nearly lost hope that skincare could be for me, but then I found Aesthetics lab!

Carolyn helped me with my initial consultation. She was very welcoming and empathetic to my situation, making me feel very comfortable. I had my first session the same day with Emma. I did a light treatment and the experience was fantastic. Emma immediately made me feel comfortable. She understood the concerns and hesitations that I had and was very patient answering my many questions. I felt very calm and could tell how experienced she was. I had such a great experience that I booked again and came back for my second treatment with Emma that same week. This time I got a hydra facial. It was again, a fantastic experience. I was so impressed with all of her knowledge on how the products work, her advice on what my skin might respond best to, and her understanding and empathy towards my situation. I really trust her and the advice that she gave towards my skincare routine. I have already seen improvements and am telling my friends to book their appointments with Emma! She is truly the best!

  I have recently finished a course of Laser Hair Removal with Aesthetics Lab and could not recommend it enough , from the moment I walked in the staff were so welcoming and professional. The clinic itself is accessible, modern and exceptionally clean.

I had 6 sessions targeting under my arms and legs which was painless and really effective with no redness or rashes which I have previously experienced when waxing, my only regret is I didn't visit sooner!!

  The staff are very welcoming and professional, and have made me feel at ease and relaxed during treatments. The clinic itself is lovely and clean, and clearly looks like it's kept up to a high standard. Ive had two treatments here so far, eyebrow semi permanent tattoo with Charli and laser hair removal with Charlotte and both therapists have been knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly, and I've been very pleased with the results of the treatments.
