IPL (INTENSE PULSED LIGHT) TREATMENTS
Advanced Skin Rejuvenation with Medical-Grade IPL
At Sarah Hartfree Clinic, we use the DYNAMIX IPL system by Lynton Lasers — a medical-grade, British-built platform trusted by leading clinics and dermatology professionals across the UK.
​
This advanced technology allows us to treat multiple skin concerns safely and effectively, delivering visible, long-term improvements in skin health and quality.
​
IPL is an advanced light-based technology that delivers controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light into the skin. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths of light. This allows it to target different areas of concern within the skin - primarily melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (blood vessels).
​
When the light energy is absorbed by these targets, it is converted into heat. This process, known as selective photothermolysis, creates controlled thermal injury to the pigment or vessel. The body then naturally metabolises and removes the fragmented pigment or collapsed vessel over time. In addition to targeting pigmentation, IPL also stimulates fibroblast activity, encouraging collagen remodeling and improving overall skin texture and tone.
What Makes IPL Different?
Unlike traditional facials or surface-level treatments, IPL works beneath the skin to:
-
Stimulate collagen production
-
Target pigment and vascular irregularities
-
Improve overall skin function
​
This means you’re not just treating what you see — you’re improving what’s happening deeper within the skin.
​​What Can IPL Treat?
Our IPL treatments are designed to target a range of common skin concerns, including:
-
Pigmentation and sun damage
-
Redness and rosacea
-
Broken capillaries (thread veins)
-
Acne and congestion
​
The versatility of the DYNAMIX platform allows us to personalise each treatment to your skin, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
ILLUMIFACIAL
The Illumifacial is our signature 4 Step skin rejuvenation treatment, designed to deliver comprehensive skin restoration in one treatment. This advanced treatment combines the resurfacing power of a chemical peel with the corrective technology of medical-grade IPL to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
​
The 4 Steps of the Illumifacial:
​
1. Deep Cleanse -
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove debris, oil and surface impurities.
​
2. Chemical Peel -
A medical grade chemical peel is aplied to gently exfoliate the superficial layers of the skin. The peel prepares the skin for more effective light absorption.
​
3. Medical Grade IPL -
Broad spectrum light energy is delivered across the full treatment area to target: pigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone and broken capillaries. This stage works at a deeper dermal level to stimulate collagen production alongside treating areas of concern.
​
4. Active Skincare -
The treatment is finished with medical-grade skincare applied to calm, protect ands upport the skin barrier whilst enhancing results.
​
It is ideal for clients wanting more than a single-target treatment - offering full face brightening, clarity and collagen stimulation.

PIGMENTATION &
SUN DAMAGE
If you struggle with multiple areas of strong, stubborn pigmentation, sun damage or uneven patches of colour, our Targeted Pigmentation Treatment uses IPL to specifically target areas of excess pigment within the skin.
​
The IPL light energy is absorbed by the excess melanin, gently heating and breaking down the pigment through a process known as selective photothermolysis. In the days following treatment, the targeted pigment will typically darken before naturally flaking away over around 7–10 days as the skin renews.
​
This treatment is designed specifically for targeted areas of pigmentation. If you are looking for overall skin rejuvenation, our Illumifacial treatment may be more suitable for you.

AGING HANDS
The hands are one of the first areas to show visible signs of ageing. Frequent sun exposure, environmental damage and natural collagen loss can lead to pigmentation and uneven tone.​ IPL offers a non-invasive treatment to improve the appearance of ageing hands and restore a clearer, more even complexion.
​
Price - £75 as an add on to other IPL Treatments.
