Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
A versatile technology for various skin concerns!
- This method is safe for skin types 1 to 3.
IPL Treatment
IPL is an advanced technology that helps brighten and even out the skin by targeting specific pigmentation (melanin) and red blood cells (hemoglobin). Years of sun exposure can lead to sunspots, age spots, freckles, and visible blood vessels. These red and brown tones can make the skin appear older and less uniform. IPL offers an effective solution by precisely treating these skin concerns.
At SKIN, we use IPL to treat various areas, including the face, chest, arms, and hands. IPL is particularly effective for people with rosacea, as it can reduce diffuse redness and help prevent flare-ups.
With our advanced IPL equipment—among the most effective systems available—we deliver high-quality results, significantly improving your skin’s appearance.

- Quote from a SKIN Specialist
“IPL is an incredibly versatile treatment that effectively targets various skin concerns. Whether it’s stubborn pigmentation, redness from broken capillaries, or even acne, IPL provides a safe and efficient solution. What’s great about this treatment is that it not only focuses on the problem areas but also enhances overall skin quality by stimulating collagen production. Many clients notice a visibly smoother, more even complexion after just a few treatments, and that’s always exciting to see!”

What to Expect?
Before the Treatment
Proper preparation is key for an IPL treatment. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4 weeks before your session, and use SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin. The treatment area should be free of makeup, creams, and other products. Also, avoid self-tanning, waxing, and plucking in the weeks leading up to your session to ensure the skin and hair follicles remain intact.
Consultation
During your consultation, we discuss your skin type, concerns, and goals. A skin analysis may be performed to determine the best settings and techniques for your skin. If necessary, we can perform a test flash to assess your skin’s reaction to IPL. This helps set realistic expectations and ensures a safe approach.
The Treatment
Depending on the consultation and your skin’s reaction, the treatment may begin immediately after. The skin is cleansed and prepped with a cooling gel. The IPL device is then adjusted to your specific needs. The light pulses are noticeable but generally well-tolerated. If required, a follow-up treatment will be scheduled.
After the Treatment
Right after the session, your skin may be slightly red and feel like a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. It is important to protect your skin with a high SPF and avoid harsh skincare products. Avoid heat exposure (hot showers, saunas, intense workouts) for 48 hours to prevent irritation.
How Long Until the Next Treatment?
For optimal results, we recommend an interval of approximately 4 weeks between treatments. Most skin concerns gradually improve after 3 to 6 sessions. The final result is usually a smoother, more even, and radiant complexion, with significantly reduced pigmentation, redness, or imperfections.

Tim Craig2023-09-15As a 49 year old man with no more experience of facial care than smothering myself with "Nivea for Men" I was driven to the world of face care by a very dry, flakey face. So with some trepidation I was booked for a facial with Nancy at SKIN. It was a absolutely fantastic experience - Nancy explained everything that was going on very clearly and steamed, smeared, wiped, squeezed and blasted by face with powerful red light. I've now got a routine to care for my face and no more excessive dryness. Will be back for sure!
Gulsum2023-07-31Een Advanced Skin Facial treatment bij Winke gehad. Ik werd er fijn ontvangen met een korte intro, omdat ik momenteel zwanger ben werden er een aantal dingen van de lijst geschrapt. Hiervoor in de plaats een infrarood therapie gehad, kortom veel aandacht en liefde voor klanten. De fijne producten en uitleg bij elke stap zorgden voor een aangenaam gevoel. Ik ben blij en kom hier zeker weer langs!

Samantha R2023-07-11I don’t often write reviews, but this one deserves attention! After 4 years of struggling with skin issues, i was referred by a friend to Dr Zabaleta and she was adamant that he had made her skin “ridiculously beautiful”! After just 2 treatments I saw some significant improvement. Dr Armando customizes the treatment to the skin type and even considers the impact and reaction of well known products on my tanned, ultra sensitive skin which required a much more delicate approach and with basic products. Previously, I’ve had spent €€€€ on products and treatments over the last 4 years - that were actually causing more damage to my skin, until I discovered Dr Zabaleta and his team. In my intake, he considered medical & lifestyle topics which also helped to spotlight- the true underlying cause of the skin issue. I didn’t feel oversold as the products reccomended are easily accessible and don’t cost a fortunate and he never imposes any of it! He is very direct to even tell you when you don’t need a treatment! 😅 All in all - great customer service and support. A very happy client here and would totally recommend! 6 stars for me! Thank you Team!

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered the most common questions to help you prepare for your treatment and understand our process better.
IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is an advanced light therapy that works by delivering pulses of light deep into the skin. This light is absorbed by melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (red blood cells), effectively targeting skin imperfections such as pigmentation spots, redness, and fine lines. At the same time, IPL stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more even-toned skin.
IPL is a versatile treatment effective for:
- Brown spots, age spots, and freckles
- Acne and acne scars
- Rosacea and diffuse redness
- Facial and leg veins (such as spider veins)
- Pigmentation issues and disorders
- Mild to moderate sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
- Avoid sun exposure or self-tanners for at least 4 weeks before the treatment.
- Discontinue the use of retinoids or exfoliating products 3 to 5 days before your appointment.
- If necessary, shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session, but avoid waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams.
During the consultation, we assess your skin condition and discuss your goals. Based on your skin type and desired results, we create a customized treatment plan. In some cases, a test pulse may be performed to determine how your skin reacts and to ensure the best settings. If suitable, the first treatment can be done immediately, or a separate appointment can be scheduled.
- Cleansing & Preparation – Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a cooling gel is applied to the treatment area.
- Eye Protection – You will wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from the light flashes.
- Light Pulses – The IPL device emits controlled light pulses onto the skin. This may feel like a warm sensation or a slight “rubber band snap.”
- Duration – The session typically lasts 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Immediately after, your skin may be slightly red and swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day.
- Pigmentation spots may darken temporarily before flaking off and fading.
- Red veins often become less visible right away.
For the best results, 3 to 5 sessions are usually required, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows the skin to recover and break down the treated pigment or blood vessels effectively.
IPL is not suitable for individuals who:
- 🚫 Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- 🚫 Have active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area
- 🚫 Are currently using antibiotics or photosensitizing medications
- 🚫 Have recent sun exposure or used self-tanners
- 🚫 Have epilepsy or extreme sensitivity to light
- ✅ Treats multiple skin concerns in one session
- ✅ Non-invasive – no damage to the skin’s surface
- ✅ Fast treatments with minimal recovery time
- ✅ Improves overall skin texture and tone
Most people notice improvement after just one session, but the full effect is typically visible after multiple treatments. The skin continues to improve for weeks after the last session.
A waiting period of 4 to 6 weeks is recommended between treatments, allowing the skin enough time to recover and respond effectively to the next session.
It’s best to let your skin rest immediately after the treatment. Use a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen, and avoid wearing heavy makeup for the first 24 hours.
IPL treatment prices vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will discuss pricing and create a tailored treatment plan for you.
Most people tolerate IPL very well. Some clients describe the sensation as a mild warmth or tingling, while others compare it to a quick rubber band snap. However, the discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.
