IPL Facial
Advanced Intense Pulsed Light therapy to treat sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and texture irregularities. A powerful, non-invasive solution for radiant, even-toned skin.
Restore Radiance, Even Skin Tone
IPL skin rejuvenation at Cranley Clinic is a clinically proven method for reversing visible signs of ageing and sun damage. The treatment uses controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to target unwanted pigmentation, broken capillaries, and redness without harming surrounding tissue. IPL works on the principle of photothermolysis, where light energy is absorbed by melanin (the dark pigment in the skin) or haemoglobin (the red colour in blood vessels). The light converts to heat, selectively damaging abnormal pigment or vessels while stimulating natural collagen production. As the treated pigment rises to the surface and sloughs away, skin tone becomes clearer, smoother, and more even. Unlike lasers or chemical peels, IPL requires no recovery period and is suitable for most skin types when performed by an experienced medical practitioner.

The Cranley Clinic Process
Direct Booking
Contact our reception team to arrange your consultation and skin assessment.
Consultation and Calibration
We perform a detailed analysis of your skin, followed by a patch test to ensure safety. Wavelengths are then selected to target pigmentation, redness, or vascular lesions.
Comfortable Treatment
A cooling gel is applied before the IPL handpiece passes over the skin in gentle pulses. Most patients describe a mild flicking sensation that is easily tolerated.
Post Treatment Glow
Any redness fades within hours. Pigmentation may darken before naturally flaking away. Makeup can typically be worn the next day.
Radiant Skin, Refined Over Time
Your complexion will gradually brighten over several weeks. A typical course includes three to five sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results.
Clinical Insight
IPL Facial Considerations, Clinically Addressed
How does IPL differ from laser treatments?
IPL uses a broad spectrum of light rather than a single wavelength, allowing it to address multiple skin concerns such as pigmentation, redness, and texture in one session.
Is IPL safe for all skin types?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals. Cranley Clinic tailors wavelength and intensity settings for each skin tone to ensure comfort and efficacy.
Can IPL treat acne and scarring?
Yes. By reducing inflammation and stimulating collagen, IPL can improve acne-prone skin and the appearance of mild scarring.
How long do results last?
Results are long-lasting, especially when combined with sun protection and medical-grade skincare. Maintenance sessions may be advised once or twice a year.
