Many patients come to us at Revitalise Skincare Clinic looking for an ‘all rounder’ treatment, something to improve the overall appearance of the skin. We are so excited to now be able to offer Lynton IPL to our patients – this includes the trending illumifacial treatment. Illumifacial is the next generation of the highly successful ‘photofacial’ treatment, using a new and unique combination of specialist Lynton skincare together with powerful, medical-grade Lynton IPL technology. At Revitalise Skincare Clinic, we offer illumifacial treatments to help patients improve skin tone, texture and radiance through advanced IPL technology. If you are wondering ‘what are the benefits of illumifacial?’ and other commonly asked questions regarding the treatment, read our guide to find out more.
What is illumifacial?
Before going into the incredible benefits of this treatment, it’s important to understand what illumifacial actually is and how the treatment works. Illumifacial combines medical grade intense pulsed light (IPL) technology with deep cleansing, skin resurfacing and hydration. This treatment targets multiple skin concerns in one session and delivers brighter, smoother, healthier looking skin. Illumifacial is a treatment within the award winning Lynton IPL device – a device used widely across the NHS to treat a range of skin concerns.
Treatment consists of 4 stages –
- Cleanse
The first step in achieving clear, healthy, radiant skin involves a deep cleanse. One of our expert practitioners will use a specialist formulation to remove any impurities.
2. Tri-Acid Fruit Peel
Following a deep cleanse, a unique Tri-Fruit Acid Peel will be applied to your skin, for anywhere between 3 – 10 minutes. This peel resurfaces skin texture and decongests pores, priming the skin ready for stage 3 of illumifacial.
3. Lynton IPL
Post peel, your skin will be at its optimum condition for the application of the award-winning Lynton Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. This works by both stimulating collagen and targeting any discolouration on your skin, e.g. freckles, pigmentation, vascular issues, breakouts and general redness. In most cases, the results are instant, providing you with dramatically clearer, firmer skin.
4. Hydrate and Protect
To help maximise the results of your illumifacial treatment, specialist serums will be applied to your skin post-IPL, helping soothe, regenerate and protect your skin.
This combination of steps allows the skin to absorb treatment benefits more effectively while stimulating collagen production and improving skin quality.
What are the benefits of illumifacial?
Illumifacial is a treatment that has several different skin health benefits including –
- Reduces acne
- Stimulates collagen
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin tightening effects
- Evens skin tone
- Reveals softer, smoother skin
- Hydrates
This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals who suffer with acne, rosacea, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and vascular issues. It is a great non-surgical treatment option with minimal downtime for those looking to improve the appearance, texture and health of the skin.
How many treatments do you recommended?
Many patients will notice visible brightness and skin improvement after a single session. However for optimal results, we do recommend a course of treatments – tailored to individual skin needs and long-term skin maintenance plans. Prior to all treatments at Revitalise Skincare Clinic, we offer our patients a personalised consultation with our Medical Practitioner. During your consultation she will perform a thorough skin analysis allowing her to assess your skin and come up with a tailored skin treatment plan.
What does the illumifacial treatment feel like?
Illumifacial is a quick, comfortable and non-invasive treatment which is designed to provide you with optimum skin health. Some individuals may feel a slight tingling effect when the skin peel is applied, however this will quickly subside. The IPL aspect of this treatment can sometimes be mildly uncomfortable – most patients describe the feeling as warm and ‘like a quick pinprick’. It is generally very well tolerated.
You may see a darkening of pigmented spots before they flake away – this means the treatment has worked. Once disappeared, you will be provided with a more even, flawless and brighter skin tone. You will also experience an ongoing improvement to the firmness and plumpness of your skin. This is because new collagen is stimulated deep with the skin tissue months after treatment.
