Skin Rejuvenation IPL

A consultation is an essential part of your IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment and is required before your first appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether IPL Skin Rejuvenation is the most suitable treatment for your skin type and condition. We will review your: Skin type and skin tone. Medical history and current medications. Previous laser or aesthetic treatments. Current skincare routine and active ingredients. Your skin concerns, such as sun damage, redness, fine lines, uneven skin tone or pigmentation. Treatment goals and expectations. Your practitioner will explain how IPL Skin Rejuvenation works, discuss the expected results, outline any potential risks and answer any questions you may have. This ensures the treatment is safe, appropriate and tailored to your individual skin. A patch test is mandatory before your first IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment. Patch Test – £25 The £25 patch test fee is not deducted from the cost of your treatment. Patch tests performed at other clinics are not accepted. Every client must have their patch test carried out by Body Perfection Clinic to ensure the treatment settings are safe and suitable for their skin. During your consultation, your skin will be thoroughly assessed, and photographs may be taken (with your consent) to monitor your progress throughout your treatment course. For your appointment, we recommend arriving with clean skin, free from make-up, fake tan, moisturisers and other skincare products where possible. You should also avoid excessive sun exposure before treatment, as recently tanned skin may not be suitable for IPL treatment. Every client is different, which is why we create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns and desired results. Whether you're looking to improve sun damage, age spots, redness, thread veins, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores or the early signs of ageing, your IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment will be tailored to help you achieve a clearer, brighter and healthier-looking complexion safely and effectively.

Following your IPL Skin Rejuvenation treatment, it is important to care for your skin correctly to support healing, maximise collagen production and achieve the best possible results. It is normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment, including: Mild redness or warmth in the treated area. Slight swelling. Mild sensitivity, similar to sunburn. Temporary dryness or tightness. Mild darkening of pigmentation before it gradually fades. Slight flaking in some areas as the skin naturally renews itself. These reactions are expected and usually settle within a few hours to several days, depending on your skin type and the intensity of your treatment. Immediately after treatment, to protect your skin and support healing: Use a gentle cleanser and apply a fragrance-free moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated. Apply 100% Aloe Vera Gel if the treated area feels warm or sensitive. Drink plenty of water to support your skin's natural healing process. Avoid touching, rubbing or scratching the treated area. For the first 24–48 hours: Avoid direct sun exposure. Avoid hot baths, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and hot tubs. Avoid vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. Avoid swimming pools and chlorinated water if your skin feels sensitive. Avoid applying perfumed or potentially irritating skincare products. For the first 5–7 days: Avoid retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums, exfoliating acids and facial scrubs. Continue using a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only. Avoid chemical peels, microneedling or additional laser or IPL treatments unless advised by your practitioner. Do not pick or scratch any dry or flaky skin. Protecting your skin from UV exposure is essential following IPL Skin Rejuvenation: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors. Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds throughout your treatment course. Wear a wide-brimmed hat or other physical sun protection whenever possible. Failure to protect your skin from UV exposure can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). IPL Skin Rejuvenation stimulates collagen production while improving skin tone, texture and overall complexion. Results continue to develop over the following weeks. To maximise your results: Attend your recommended course of treatments, usually 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart, depending on your skin concerns. Continue using daily SPF to protect your skin and maintain your results. Follow a personalised skincare routine recommended by your practitioner. Keep your skin well hydrated with quality moisturisers and adequate daily water intake. Please contact Body Perfection Clinic if you have any concerns about your healing or experience: Severe or worsening redness lasting longer than 72 hours. Excessive swelling or increasing pain. Blistering. Delayed healing. Any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. If you think you have developed an infection (such as increasing redness, excessive heat, pus, discharge or fever), or you feel generally unwell, please seek immediate medical advice from your GP, NHS 111 or your nearest emergency department if your symptoms are severe. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

Avoid using retinol, retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C serums and exfoliating products on the treatment area for 5–7 days before treatment.

Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, medications, allergies, skin conditions or recent aesthetic treatments before your appointment.
