Your Complete Guide to IPL Skin Rejuvenation..
06 October 2025
If you’ve noticed sun spots, redness, or uneven tone creeping in, and you’re dreaming of smoother, brighter skin — you’re not alone. Modern skin technology has come a long way, and one of the most effective ways to refresh your complexion without downtime is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy.
At our Dublin and Naas clinics, we’re proud to offer treatments using the Stellar M22 by Lumenis — one of the world’s most advanced medical-grade IPL systems, designed to rejuvenate, refine, and restore your skin’s natural glow.
What Exactly Is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, sometimes called a “photofacial.” It uses gentle pulses of broad-spectrum light to target and treat common skin concerns — from sun damage and redness to pigmentation and broken capillaries.
Unlike a laser (which uses one focused wavelength), IPL uses multiple wavelengths of light, meaning it can address several skin issues at once — all while leaving the surface of your skin intact.
During treatment, light energy is absorbed by pigment or blood vessels in the skin, which are then naturally broken down by your body. Over time, this process reveals a clearer, more radiant complexion — it’s like hitting refresh on your skin.
What Can IPL Help With?
IPL is a brilliant all-rounder for anyone wanting to improve the look and feel of their skin. It can help with:
Sun spots, freckles, and age spots
Redness, rosacea, and visible blood vessels
Uneven skin tone or texture
Dull, tired-looking skin
Acne or post-acne pigmentation
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Most clients describe their skin as brighter, smoother, and more even after just a few sessions.
What to Expect During Treatment
A cooling gel is applied to your skin, and the IPL handpiece gently delivers light pulses. You may feel a light snap — often compared to a rubber band — but it’s quick and comfortable.
Afterwards, skin may appear slightly warm or flushed (a sign it’s working!). Pigmented spots may temporarily darken before fading away over the following days.
There’s no downtime, so you can get back to your day immediately, glowing and confident.
Aftercare & Results
You’ll notice your skin looks brighter and more radiant even after one treatment, but the best results come from a short course of sessions, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
After treatment, we recommend:
Using SPF daily (a must!)
Avoiding heat or direct sunlight for 24–48 hours
Using gentle, soothing skincare while your skin renews
Your skin will continue to improve in the weeks that follow as new collagen forms and pigmentation fades — leaving you with that lit-from-within glow.

Flawless, even, radiant skin — it’s closer than you think.
