If your skin is looking a little uneven, dull or flushed, IPL skin rejuvenation can brighten and refresh it in a really natural way. The gentle pulses of light help even out pigmentation, calm redness and boost collagen so your skin looks clearer, smoother and more radiant.
At The Secret Garden Clinic, we combine cutting-edge laser technology with years of hands-on expertise to help you get the best possible results. Whether you are having laser skin rejuvenation as a standalone treatment or as part of a package, you can expect our award-winning care throughout, so you feel confident, supported and happy with your skin.
What is IPL skin rejuvenation?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) skin rejuvenation, also known as laser skin rejuvenation, uses high-powered pulses of light to promote the production of collagen, which fills out unwanted wrinkles, fine lines and shallow scarring, as well as reducing redness and removing veins, discolouration and spots. You’ll be left with super soft, plump skin.
How does IPL skin rejuvenation work?
IPL uses a range of wavelengths that penetrate just below the skin’s surface and are focussed to target either melanin or veins. This causes controlled damage to the pigment or vein, forcing the skin’s natural defences to come to the rescue. The body instinctively works to remove the damaged melanin and vein, but also increases the rate of collagen production at the same time. These two actions can produce incredible results to the appearance and texture of the treated areas.

Am I suitable?
Most people are suitable for the treatment, except if you have very dark or tanned skin. Lasers can even cause permanent damage for darker skin tones. If you do have darker skin, you should avoid IPL treatments that carry the risk of hyper pigmentation or burning. However, if you have skin concerns, please do book a consultation with our experts and we’ll chat through alternative options that will still deliver amazing results.
Does laser skin rejuvenation hurt?
The treatment is relatively painless. You may feel a slight tingling sensation during the treatment, but you will be able to carry on your normal daily routine straight afterwards. Most people describe the treatment as a warming or tingling of the skin and in some cases - the sensation of a flick of an elastic band.
Your skin may show some signs of redness after the session (a little like mild sunburn), but this will fade over the days following the treatment.
How long does IPL skin rejuvenation last?
Although improvement can be seen after just one treatment, we recommend a course of 2–5 IPL sessions (spaced four weeks apart). You may need top-up treatments every 6 or 12 months, depending on the condition treated, to maintain results.
