As collagen and elastin naturally decline over time, skin can begin to look less firm, less smooth and a little more tired.
IPL Collagen Stimulation is designed to support the skin’s natural regenerative processes and may help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, dullness and general loss of firmness.
It can be used on the face as well as areas that often show signs of ageing earlier than we’d like, including the neck, décolletage and hands.
IPL uses controlled pulses of light energy that are delivered into the skin.
This energy is designed to stimulate the tissues involved in collagen and elastin production, helping support gradual improvements in firmness, texture and overall skin quality.
Unlike treatments that physically resurface the skin, IPL Collagen Stimulation works without needles or aggressive exfoliation, making it a useful option when you want rejuvenation without a more intensive recovery period.
When we think about skin ageing, we tend to focus on the face, but the neck, chest and hands are often exposed to just as much sun and environmental damage.
IPL Collagen Stimulation can be used across all of these areas, helping create a more consistent approach to skin rejuvenation rather than stopping at the jawline.
BDJ offers treatment options for the full face, neck, décolletage, or a combination of all three.
You may notice a temporary tightening or fresher appearance after your first session, but collagen stimulation is generally something that builds over time.
BDJ currently recommends a course of weekly treatments over approximately eight weeks for optimum results, followed by periodic maintenance treatments to help support the benefits.
Your therapist can recommend the most appropriate treatment schedule based on your skin, the areas being treated and what you would like to improve.

What people are saying about us
Taken from just a handful of our reviews on Google.
See All Reviews on GoogleThe most incredible three hours spent at the BDJ Skin & Body in Carlisle! From the moment I walked through the door, I was treated with genuine care and made to feel like a VIP.
I started with a brow wax and tint, followed by a lash lift with Finn, who was so professional and attentive. Then Dayna worked her magic with a colour refresh, and Giselle finished everything perfectly with a relaxing rinse and beautiful blow dry.
Every member of the team was warm, welcoming, and highly skilled. It wasn’t just the treatments that made the experience exceptional, it was all the thoughtful touches, from refreshments to the outstanding customer service throughout my visit.
The entire experience was truly five star. If you’re looking for a salon where you’ll be pampered, looked after, and leave feeling amazing, I couldn’t recommend BDJ Skin & Body more highly. A guaranteed VIP experience every time!
I’ve been a client of BDJ for the past few years – for good reason. Fin and the other ladies are so warm, generous with their time and experts in skin care. Whenever someone tells me I look much younger than my age, I tell them it’s because of my BDJ facials hehe.
Had a lovely consultation with Lurnae. We went over all my skin concerns and discussed health concerns that could be contributing to my skins condition. From there we did a cleanse and mask where I got to trial some of the products they recommended. They worked with my budget when offering services and products. They also wrote down all the information and recommendations which is really helpful for remembering!
I love BDJ and highly recommend! From the moment I walk in, it is relaxed and welcoming, and I always walk out feeling amazing. Abby is incredible with hair and does the best job with extensions- I couldn’t be happier!
I bought the Venus viva package and have been seeing Lurnae and there is such a noticeable difference. It’s insane and can’t wait for the final result. The skin tightening in between is great. I absolutely trust the team here and would recommend to everyone!
I’ve been getting my hair done for a while now at BDJ with Abby. Recently we did a foil refresh and some fresh vivid colours and the pictures really speak for themselves! I couldn’t recommend this salon and Abby enough. Truly incredible

Common questions we get about IPL Collagen Stimulation
Most clients describe the treatment as warm with a light snapping sensation as each pulse of light is delivered.
The feeling can vary depending on the area being treated and your individual sensitivity, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
Downtime is usually minimal.
You may notice some temporary redness or warmth after treatment, but most clients can return to their normal routine fairly quickly.
IPL Collagen Stimulation is generally more about gradual improvement than an immediate dramatic change.
Some clients notice their skin looking fresher after treatment, while improvements in firmness, texture and overall skin quality may continue to develop over the following weeks as the skin responds.
A course of treatments is usually recommended for the best result.
BDJ currently recommends weekly treatments over approximately eight weeks, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
Once your initial course is complete, maintenance frequency will depend on your skin, age, lifestyle and treatment goals.
Your therapist can recommend a schedule based on how your skin responds.
IPL Collagen Stimulation can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.
These areas are often treated together to create a more consistent approach to skin rejuvenation.
IPL Collagen Stimulation may help soften the appearance of fine lines by supporting collagen and elastin production over time.
For deeper lines or more established concerns, we may recommend combining IPL with other treatments.
It may help improve the appearance of enlarged pores by supporting firmer, smoother-looking skin.
The result is usually gradual and may be more noticeable after a course of treatments.
IPL technology can be used in different ways depending on the treatment settings and what is being targeted.
Collagen stimulation focuses primarily on skin rejuvenation and supporting firmness, while other IPL treatments may be used more specifically for pigmentation or vascular concerns.
Skin needling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries and stimulate the skin’s repair response.
IPL Collagen Stimulation uses light energy instead, making it a non-invasive option for clients who want to support firmness and skin quality without needling.
Venus Viva uses radiofrequency energy and can take a more targeted approach to texture, scarring and skin tightening.
IPL Collagen Stimulation uses light energy and is generally positioned as a gentler, progressive rejuvenation treatment.
The better option depends on your skin and what you want to improve.
IPL is not equally suitable for every skin tone or skin condition.
Suitability depends on factors such as skin type, current pigmentation, recent sun exposure and medical history, so an assessment beforehand is important.
Recent tanning or significant sun exposure can affect whether IPL is suitable.
You may need to wait until your tan has faded before treatment, so it is important to let the BDJ team know about any recent sun exposure.
Usually, yes, once any immediate warmth or redness has settled.
Your therapist will let you know if there is anything specific you should avoid after your appointment.
If you are new to IPL or unsure whether Collagen Stimulation is the right treatment for your concern, a consultation is the best place to start.
We can assess your skin and recommend whether IPL, skin needling, Venus Viva or another treatment is the better fit.
