IPL should not leave you looking bright red like this 👆
Natasha is a Medical Nurse and also holds a Level 4 qualification is laser and IPL, here’s what she considers normal after IPL:
→ mild, even redness (like you’ve been warm or flushed)
→ a little swelling is possible, especially around sensitive areas
→ your skin should feel comfortable, not “raw” or panicked
If redness looks intense, patchy, or feels hot and angry, that’s a sign something hasn’t been managed properly.
This is exactly why at Pro Skin we don’t do rushed, one-off appointments. We take a plan-led, evidence-based approach, and we always:
– prepare the skin barrier first so it’s healthy enough for treatment
– carry out a patch test and use settings that are appropriate for your skin
– support the skin during treatment and give clear, proper aftercare to reduce redness and swelling
Because good results come from safety and strategy, not aggressive settings.
And our clients feel the difference:
➡️ “I've never felt more confident.” — Sarah, 42, Bournemouth
➡️ “My skin is calmer and I finally feel comfortable without makeup.” — Emma, 38, Poole
➡️ “At 55, I was concerned about looking ‘overdone.’ Laura listened to my fears and created a subtle, natural approach that has taken years off my appearance while still looking completely like me.” — Jennifer, 55, Wimborne
