Skin Pigmentation treatment
Sun damage or age spots caused from too much sun exposure.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) can fix this problem for you and at the same time leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated, as the treatment increases the collagen and elastin production in the skin, leaving a more even skin tone. This happens when the IPL penetrates below your skin where the unwanted brown pigment (melanin) lives; the heat breaks down the melanin, into tiny particles and gets carried away by the body’s natural lymphatic system. Hormonal pigmentation may require extra treatment.
The down time is minimal; redness may be visible for a few hours, sometimes the treated area/s may result in darker brown spots, which fade to a much lighter colour. The treatment is fast and normally requires 3-6 treatments.
After IPL is it strongly advised to……………
Avoid excessive heat in the treated area/s. eg; hot & sweaty workouts, hot shower or bath for 12 hours.
Never pick at or scratch the area treated.
Use SUN SCREEN every day.
