An IPL Photofacial is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to target a variety of skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, and fine lines. This advanced treatment delivers controlled pulses of light energy to the deeper layers of the skin while leaving the surface untouched, making it an effective and gentle solution for achieving a brighter, more even complexion.
How It Works:
-
The IPL device emits broad-spectrum light that penetrates the skin at different depths.
-
The light is absorbed by targeted pigments, such as melanin (responsible for dark spots) and hemoglobin (responsible for redness).
-
This absorption generates heat, which breaks down the pigment or vessels, allowing the body’s natural healing process to remove them over time.
-
Additionally, the heat stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.

What are Dermal Fillers?Over time as our skin ages and loses its youthfulness. Many people become aware of wrinkles and lines that can age them, making them appear tired and less attractive. Dermal fillers are a regenerative treatment, which can define, restore and enhance the face while respecting the unique anatomy and character that makes you.
-
What treatments can I have?Dermal fillers are injected just under the skin to plump out lines and to add volume where needed. The dermal filler comprises of a gel made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. This makes it a very safe product to use. Areas such as the cheeks, chin and jawline can be enhanced to create a contoured look. Volume can be added to the lips, cheeks or the under eye area. Deeper lines such as nose to mouth, mouth to chin and smoker lines can be dramatically softened. The results are instantly visible and generally last 6-9 months, sometimes longer and require no maintenance.
-
Are there any side effects or risks?There may be some redness, swelling and bruising after the treatment which can take a few days to resolve. Whilst dermal fillers are medically safe the treatment may not be not be suitable for certain patients. A full medical consultation will be carried out with the doctor to ensure the procedure is safe to carry out.
-
How long does the result last?Results are apparent immediately after the procedure, so you leave the clinic with an immediate improvement. Most dermal fillers will last between six to 18 months, depending on which filler is used and how your body responds to the treatment.
