The Procedure

Targeted treatments for sensitive, redness-prone skin

Our IPL skin treatment is a non-invasive procedure that promotes an even, luminous complexion.

Light energy is absorbed by areas of excess pigmentation or visible capillaries, helping to gradually reduce their appearance. IPL treatments are typically comfortable and require little downtime, allowing most patients to return to normal activities shortly after their appointment.

For optimal results, a course of sessions may be recommended depending on the skin concern being addressed.

How it helps

IPL benefits

IPL facial treatments can help reduce pigmentation and sun damage, calm redness associated with rosacea, and improve overall skin tone and texture. This skin rejuvenation treatment also helps minimise visible capillaries while supporting brighter, clearer skin. Many patients notice gradual improvements in the appearance of their skin as treatments progress.

FAQs

You can find the answers to some common questions here.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses light energy to reduce
pigmentation, redness and visible blood vessels.

IPL skin treatment is commonly used for:

  • Facial redness and rosacea.
  • Broken capillaries and thread veins.
  • Sun damage and pigmentation.
  • Uneven skin tone.
  • Dull or tired-looking skin.

IPL uses broad-spectrum light rather than a single laser wavelength, allowing it to treat multiple skin concerns such as rosacea and pigmentation.

Most patients benefit from a course of three to six IPL sessions depending on the skin concern being treated.

Downtime is minimal. Some redness may occur immediately after treatment, but this usually settles quickly.

The cost of intense pulsed light therapy depends on the area being treated and the number of sessions required. At The Clinic in Norwich, IPL treatment prices start from £200 per session.

Many patients benefit from a course of treatments to achieve the best results, particularly when treating concerns such as rosacea, pigmentation or visible capillaries. During your consultation, we will assess your skin and recommend a personalised treatment plan, including clear guidance on the expected intense pulsed light therapy cost for your individual needs.

No. The treatment targets pigment and blood vessels in the skin, so some people may have a higher risk of unwanted colour changes and side effects.

Treatment is usually postponed for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People taking light-sensitising medications, those with recent sun exposure or certain skin conditions may also need to delay treatment.

Darker skin tones require particular care, as higher levels of melanin can increase the risk of pigmentation changes.

For this reason, a detailed consultation is always carried out before an IPL skin treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate.
