Overview
Restore even, radiant skin tone without surgery or downtime
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) photo rejuvenation uses carefully controlled pulses of light to target pigment and redness in the skin, without disrupting the surface. Light energy is absorbed by melanin in sun spots and freckles, and by haemoglobin in broken capillaries, gently breaking them down to reveal a more even, luminous complexion.
The heat generated by the treatment also triggers the skin's natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production. Over a course of sessions the skin not only looks more even in tone but also firmer and smoother in texture.
At Maison Restorative, every patient receives a thorough skin assessment before treatment begins, and our practitioners tailor the settings to your skin type and concern. IPL can be used on the face, hands, décolletage or other isolated body areas.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What skin concerns can IPL treat?
IPL is effective for sun spots, age spots, freckles, diffuse redness, broken capillaries, uneven skin tone and general photo-ageing. The treatment can also improve overall skin texture through collagen stimulation.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve the best results with a course of three sessions spaced two weeks apart. Your practitioner will advise the right number for your skin during consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe a mild snapping or warming sensation during treatment. Cooling gel is applied to keep the skin comfortable throughout.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Some patients notice temporary redness and darkening of treated spots for a few days, but most return to normal activities straight away.
Am I suitable for IPL?
IPL suits a wide range of skin types, though it is not suitable for very dark skin tones or recently tanned skin. A full skin assessment at consultation will confirm your suitability and the right settings for you.
How much does IPL photo rejuvenation cost?
Pricing depends on the areas treated and the course agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
