IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation is a cutting-edge photo-facial treatment that addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously without surgery or downtime. Using advanced light technology, IPL penetrates deep into your skin to target pigmentation, broken capillaries, redness, and sun damage while stimulating collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin. This versatile treatment delivers transformative results that keep improving over time.
IPL technology delivers precisely controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light into the deeper layers of your skin. This light energy is selectively absorbed by melanin (dark pigmentation), hemoglobin (redness and broken blood vessels), and water molecules in damaged skin cells. The absorbed energy converts to heat, which safely destroys the targeted imperfections while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The treatment also triggers your skin's natural healing response, stimulating new collagen and elastin production. Over the following weeks, the treated pigmentation rises to the surface and flakes away, blood vessels are reabsorbed, and new, healthy skin emerges with improved tone, texture, and clarity.
IPL skin rejuvenation offers comprehensive improvement for sun-damaged and aging skin. The treatment effectively fades age spots, sun spots, and freckles for a more even complexion. It reduces facial redness, rosacea symptoms, and broken capillaries, giving you a calmer, clearer appearance. IPL also smooths skin texture, minimizes enlarged pores, and reduces fine lines by boosting collagen production. Unlike ablative treatments that remove layers of skin, IPL works beneath the surface with no downtime, making it ideal for busy lifestyles. Results continue to improve for several months after your treatment series as new collagen forms and skin regenerates.
Your treatment begins with a thorough skin cleanse and application of a cooling gel to protect your skin and enhance light penetration. We'll provide protective eyewear, as the bright flashes of light can be intense. The IPL device is then passed over your treatment areas, delivering controlled pulses of light. Most clients describe the sensation as a warm rubber band snap against the skin—tolerable but slightly uncomfortable. Treatment time varies from 20-45 minutes depending on the area size. Immediately after, your skin may appear slightly red with a warm, sunburn-like feeling that subsides within a few hours. Treated pigmentation will darken initially before flaking off over 7-14 days, revealing clearer skin beneath.
IPL skin rejuvenation is highly effective for fair to medium skin tones and addresses a wide range of concerns including sun damage and age spots, uneven skin tone and pigmentation, facial redness and rosacea, broken capillaries and thread veins, enlarged pores and rough texture, fine lines and early aging signs, and acne-related redness. The treatment works best on skin types 1-3 (lighter complexions) as the contrast between pigment and skin allows optimal results. Unfortunately, IPL is not suitable for very dark skin tones or tanned skin, as there's insufficient contrast for safe, effective treatment.
Most clients require a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results. You'll begin noticing improvements after your first session, with progressive enhancement after each subsequent treatment. The full rejuvenating effects become apparent 3-6 months post-treatment as collagen remodeling continues. Results can last 1-2 years with proper skincare and sun protection, though maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain your improvements. After treatment, sun protection is absolutely essential—you must avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily. Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours, and avoid harsh skincare products for one week. Keep your skin well-moisturized and let any darkened pigmentation flake off naturally without picking.
IPL is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety profile when performed by trained professionals using quality equipment. Our experienced therapists conduct thorough skin assessments to ensure you're an ideal candidate and customize treatment parameters to your specific skin type and concerns. We use medical-grade IPL devices that deliver consistent, controlled energy for safe, predictable results. During your consultation, we'll discuss your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure IPL is right for you.

Most clients find IPL tolerable with only mild discomfort. The sensation is often described as a warm rubber band snap against the skin. Treatment areas with thinner skin or more sun damage may be slightly more sensitive. We apply a cooling gel before treatment to minimize discomfort, and the treatment is quick—most sessions take only 20-30 minutes. If you're particularly sensitive, we can apply a topical numbing cream before your session, though most clients find this unnecessary.
Most clients require 3-5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart for optimal results. However, you'll start seeing improvements after just one session—pigmentation will begin to fade, redness will diminish, and skin texture will smooth. Each subsequent treatment builds upon previous results. For significant sun damage or deep pigmentation, you may need 5-6 treatments. After your initial series, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain your results and address any new concerns from ongoing sun exposure or aging.
While both use light energy, IPL and lasers work differently. Lasers emit a single wavelength of concentrated light ideal for specific targets, while IPL delivers a broad spectrum of light wavelengths, allowing it to address multiple concerns simultaneously—pigmentation, redness, and texture—in one treatment. IPL is gentler with less discomfort and downtime than many laser treatments, making it excellent for overall skin rejuvenation. Lasers are often better for targeting specific issues like deep pigmentation or tattoos. Your therapist will recommend the best technology for your specific concerns.
Our IPL skin rejuvenation treatments start from R1,500 per session for face treatment. Larger areas or combination treatments may cost more. We offer package deals for multiple sessions, which provide better value and are ideal for achieving your optimal results. The exact price depends on the treatment area size and specific concerns being addressed. During your free consultation, we'll assess your skin and provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing.
IPL requires minimal downtime compared to more aggressive treatments. Immediately after treatment, your skin will appear slightly red with a sensation similar to mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 2-4 hours. Treated pigmentation will darken before flaking off over the next 7-14 days—you can cover this with makeup if desired. Most clients return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment. However, you must avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 50+ sunscreen daily for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.
IPL works best on fair to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I-IV). The treatment relies on contrast between your natural skin color and the pigmentation or redness being treated. Very dark skin tones or recently tanned skin have less contrast, which can reduce effectiveness and increase risk of complications. Additionally, you cannot receive IPL treatment within 4 weeks of tanning or while sunburned. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin type to determine if IPL is appropriate or if alternative treatments would be more suitable for your concerns.
