Our Skin & Aesthetic Services
What is IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
IPL skin rejuvenation is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that works beneath the surface of the skin using carefully controlled light energy. During treatment, the skin is exposed to precise pulses of light that are naturally absorbed by areas of excess pigment and vascular irregularities. This process encourages the skin’s own repair response, stimulating collagen and elastin production to support smoother texture, improved clarity and a more even tone over time.
At No6 Clinic, IPL skin rejuvenation is used to improve a variety of common skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Sun-related skin damage
Age spots and pigmentation
Redness and rosacea
Post-acne marks and scarring
Enlarged or visible pores
Uneven or dull skin tone
Your practitioner will always tailor treatment to your skin’s needs, ensuring a safe, personalised approach with natural-looking, gradual results.
What Can You Expect From IPL Skin Rejuvenation?
After your IPL skin rejuvenation treatment at No6 Clinic, it’s normal for the skin to appear slightly pink or feel warm, similar to mild sun exposure. Some people notice a little swelling, but this usually settles within a few hours to a day. You may also see areas of pigmentation look temporarily darker before they gradually fade as the skin renews.
For the best, longer-lasting results, a course of treatments is usually recommended. Most clients benefit from around 3–5 sessions, spaced approximately 2–4 weeks apart. The exact number will depend on your skin type, concerns and the results you’d like to achieve, which your practitioner will discuss with you during your consultation.
Conclusion
IPL skin rejuvenation is a safe, clinically proven way to enhance overall skin clarity, tone and texture. When performed by experienced practitioners, it can help restore a brighter, smoother and more refreshed appearance over a course of treatments.
If you’re considering IPL at No6 Clinic, our qualified team will assess your skin, discuss your goals and advise whether this treatment is the most suitable option for you. We’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin type and concerns, ensuring a safe approach and results that look naturally rejuvenated rather than over-treated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Intense Pulsed Light systems release precisely controlled short pulses of filtered light that stimulate the fibroblast cells within the skin that produce collagen and elastin. In addition, specific lesions such as thread veins, age spots and freckles can be targeted resulting in a more uniform complexion. The skin becomes firmer, appears more radiant and enlarged pores are reduced. Nd:YAG Laser may be selected to target deeper lines and to promote further collagen production.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a mild relaxing skin peel, or microdermabrasion is often performed before the Intense Pulsed Light or Laser treatment to maximise the results. Exfoliating the skin to remove the top layers of dead skin leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft. A thin layer of chilled gel is applied to the area to guide the light into the skin. The light applicator is placed onto the skin and a short pulse of light is released. The handpiece is then moved to the neighbouring area and the process is repeated until the entire area is treated. The chilled gel is removed and the area cooled. During treatment protective eye wear will be provided.
Yes, treatment is suitable for most people except for very dark skinned or tanned individuals.
Treatment is mildly uncomfortable, no anaesthesia is required though and most people describe the discomfort as moderate and acceptable, not unlike a quick pin prick.
The skin may be quite red and slightly swollen after treatment but this usually subsides quickly. Very rarely a small blister may form and there can be temporary lightening or darkening of the skin. However, most people experience no side effects and any skin reaction usually disappears within a few hours.
Redness and a slight warming sensation are normal after treatment. A cooling pack is applied after treatment to calm the skin. You may see a darkening of any pigmented spots before they flake off, leading to a more even skin tone. Tightening of the skin should increase over the following months as new collagen is produced within the dermis.
Treatments are carried out every 2 to 3 weeks and 6 treatments are recommended for best results. Thereafter, top-up sessions are performed as required, but typically once or twice a year.
A facial treatment, including a skin peel or microdermabrasion usually takes about 45 minutes.
Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation where details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm suitability. Before proceeding you will be asked to sign a consent form and undergo a test patch.
