The 4-Step illumiFacial® Treatment Process

1. Deep Cleanse

Your treatment begins with a thorough cleanse to remove impurities from your skin. This prepares your skin for the treatment and ensures maximum absorption of the active ingredients.

2. Tri-Fruit Acid Peel

Next, a Tri-Fruit Acid Peel is applied to the skin. This gentle yet effective peel exfoliates the outer layer of your skin, removing dead skin cells, decongesting pores, and creating a smooth surface. This step primes your skin for the IPL treatment to follow.

3. Lynton IPL Therapy

With your skin perfectly prepped, we move on to the IPL treatment. The IPL emits targeted pulses of light that penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen production and addressing pigmentation issues. The IPL treatment helps to even out skin tone, reduce redness, and leave your skin looking clearer and more radiant.

4. Hydrate & Protect

To conclude your treatment, a trio of specially formulated serums is applied to hydrate, soothe, and protect your skin. These serums are designed to enhance the rejuvenating effects of the illumiFacial® and ensure your skin remains glowing and healthy.

What areas can be treated?

It is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. It can also be used for other areas such as the mouth and neck whilst also being an approved treatment for migraine relief and excessive underarm sweating – Check out our menu to read more about our advanced injectable aesthetics treatments.
How long until I see visible results?

You will not see a result straight away. It takes 2-3 days* to begin working, and approximately 2-3 weeks* to see the full effect. If after 3 weeks you are not 100% satisfied, get in touch with us and we can book you in for a top-up treatment free of charge. *Alluzience® begins working within 24 hours so visible results may be seen sooner than with standard botulinum toxin-a products.
How long do the results last for?

Botox® and Azzalure® generally last 3-4 months. There will certainly be patients in which it lasts longer, in the 4–6-month range, or shorter, in the 2-month range. It is also common for first time users to notice that it may not last as long initially but may last longer after the second treatment. Alluzience® is an advanced botulinum toxin-a new wrinkle-relaxing injection launched by Galderma, the world’s largest independent dermatology company). It starts to work sooner than other standard botulinum toxin brands and can last up to 6 months. Individual lifestyle choices may affect the longevity of the treatment e.g. people who exercise a lot or are very expressive may find the effects fade faster.
What products do we use at Peppermint Clinic?

We use Botox®, Azzalure® and a fairly new product called Alluzience®. Alluzience® has the potential to last up to 6 months so you can reduce the number of treatments you undergo per year, but it is not suitable for all areas. If you have questions, please contact us to discuss the individual products in more detail or book a free consultation to come in and have all your questions answered and discuss your suitability for the treatment, your goals, and expectations in more detail.
Does it hurt?

Pain is very subjective and personal - how we feel pain varies a lot from person to person and from time to time, e.g. studies have shown that women rate pain significantly higher in menstrual and premenstrual phases than during the rest of their cycle. A small pinch or sting that you would expect from inserting a small needle into any part of the body and you may feel a brief stinging sensation. The site of injection also influences the sensation of pain e.g. injections around the lips might feel more sensitive than those on the forehead.
Pre-treatment do’s & don’ts

Schedule your appointment at least 4 weeks prior to any special event or holiday to allow time for complete healing and optimal results. Reschedule your appointment if you develop a rash, cold sore or blemish in the treatment area. You should avoid taking blood thinning medications and anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen for the 2 weeks leading up to your treatment. Also avoid aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John's Wort, and Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements. You may wish to consider taking arnica tablets, available from most pharmacies, for one week prior and one week post treatment can help reduce the risk of swelling and bruising. Avoid alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising. Discontinue Retin-A two (2) days before and two (2) days after treatment.
Post-treatment do’s & don’ts

Avoid any strenuous activity or exercise for 24 hours after treatment. Avoid aggravating the injection site by rubbing or massaging the area. After 6 hours, you may gently wash the injection site but not before then. Avoid lying down for the first 4 hours post treatment. It is best to avoid alcohol for 24 hours post treatment. If possible, do not restart any blood thinning medication for several days after your treatment. If you are taking prescription blood thinning medication, please contact us to discuss your treatment options or book a free consultation to discuss this aspect of your treatment further. Avoid heat, tanning, self-tan, and tanning beds for 72 hours post treatment. Avoid any facials, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion for a minimum of 10 days following your procedure. If you are unsure about how long to wait before having a certain procedure, contact us or ask your practitioner during your appointment. Using a good sunscreen will protect the longevity of your treatment. Wearing sunglasses to reduce squinting will protect the longevity of your treatment.

The Science Behind It

The illumiFacial® treatment utilises advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology combined with targeted chemical exfoliation to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. During the treatment, IPL emits broad-spectrum light pulses that penetrate the skin's layers. The light energy is selectively absorbed by chromophores, such as melanin in pigmented areas and haemoglobin in blood vessels, without damaging surrounding tissues.

The absorbed light energy is then converted into heat, which initiates controlled thermal injury. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, triggering fibroblast activity and promoting the production of new collagen fibres. Simultaneously, the heat causes coagulation of blood vessels and the destruction of pigmented cells, leading to a reduction in visible redness, pigmentation, and vascular lesions. The chemical exfoliation prior to IPL application enhances the absorption and efficacy of the treatment by removing the stratum corneum, allowing for deeper penetration of light energy.

The result is a comprehensive rejuvenation of the skin's appearance, with improvements in texture, tone, and overall clarity.

Breaking it Down

In simple terms, the illumiFacial® works by first exfoliating your skin to remove dead cells, then using light therapy to treat redness, pigmentation, and fine lines. The final step involves applying serums to keep your skin hydrated and protected, resulting in a clear, glowing complexion.
