Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IllumiFacial® and how does it work?

The IllumiFacial® is a completely non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall clarity. This highly successful ‘photofacial’ treatment works by priming the skin with a tri-fruit acid Lynton fruit peel, which resurfaces skin texture and decongests pores. Following this, the IPL aspect of this treatment uses Lynton intense pulsed light to target pigmentation, redness, and collagen-depleted areas — all while protecting your skin and restoring radiance.

What skin concerns does IllumiFacial® treat?

IllumiFacial® is an advanced aesthetic treatment perfect for anyone whose skin exhibits congestion, pigmentation, dull tone, uneven skin texture, or fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a powerful solution for:
Acne and acne scars
Sun damage and age spots
Redness and vascular lesions
Enlarged pores
Flawless skin tone and smoother texture

What makes the IllumiFacial® different from other facial treatments?

Unlike traditional facials, the IllumiFacial® uses a unique combination of specialist Lynton skincare and advanced Lynton IPL technology. This approach doesn’t just refresh the surface — it works by both stimulating collagen and targeting deeper skin concerns. It’s a quick and simple facial with visible results and no downtime.

What does the full treatment plan include?

Your full treatment plan includes:
Deep skin cleanse and assessment
Application of a tri-fruit acid Lynton fruit peel
Lynton IPL treatment to stimulate collagen and elastin production
Hydrating mask using Lynton skincare products
Post-treatment care advice for optimum skin health

Is the IllumiFacial® safe for all skin types?

Yes — IllumiFacial® is a non-invasive treatment that is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Before we begin, our experts will carry out a full consultation to tailor the treatment and protect your skin throughout the process.

What does the treatment feel like?

During treatment, you may feel a slight tingling, like a ‘quick pinprick’ and warm feeling on the skin. This sensation is mild, brief, and a sign the IPL technology is actively targeting pigment and stimulating the skin.

What’s in the tri-fruit acid peel?

The fruit peel is first applied to exfoliate dead skin cells and resurface skin texture. This prepares the skin by priming the skin ready for light-based rejuvenation. It’s gentle, plant-based, and part of the unique tri-fruit acid Lynton fruit system.

How many sessions do I need?

We recommend a course of 3–6 IllumiFacial® treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart for best results. This ensures long-lasting improvement in skin health and appearance while boosting collagen over time.

Is there any downtime?

No, this is a completely non-invasive treatment. You can return to your normal routine immediately. You might see temporary redness or darkening of pigment spots before they flake, but this is part of the skin renewal process.

Can I wear makeup after treatment?

Yes, although many clients feel confident to go bare-faced. If needed, light makeup can be applied post-treatment without concern.

Who is this treatment perfect for?

The IllumiFacial® is ideal for anyone whose skin exhibits congestion, dullness, or signs of early ageing. Whether you’re tackling acne, pigmentation, or simply want a rejuvenating refresh, this skin treatment delivers real results without the downtime of laser treatment or needles.

Is this better than laser hair removal or other IPL treatments?

While laser hair removal focuses on follicles, IllumiFacial® is a specialist IPL treatment for skin. It’s a targeted approach to skin rejuvenation, using the aesthetic benefits of Lynton IPL technology combined with resurfacing acids to treat skin concerns like texture, tone, and pigmentation.

How soon will I see results from IllumiFacial®?

You’ll begin to see a darkening of pigment spots shortly after your treatment — this is completely normal and means the treatment has worked perfectly. These spots will flake off naturally, revealing clearer, brighter skin. Many clients notice improved skin tone and appearance after just one session.
