Reduction of Pigmentation
Pigmentation is patches of excess melanin in the skin. Pigmentation is caused by sun exposure, environmental toxins, various medical conditions, pregnancy hormones and genetic factors. IPL will fragment these melanin clusters using the controlled heat and light. White blood cells will then absorb this n will be excreted via the lymphatic system. Skin will become healthier and stronger and reduce the appearance of pigmentation patches.

FAQ
When it comes to get the absolute best results from IPL therapy, we recommend that our patients do 5 treatments, performed 4 weeks apart. Because each treatment builds upon the next one and allows me to treat your skin gradually to see how you will react. With the IPL machine we can toggle the settings to reach pigmentation and blood vessels at different depths of skin, so that with each treatment we are able to target a specific area.
Before your IPL procedure, your skin care specialist will examine your skin and let you know what to expect. Let them know if you have any skin conditions that might affect healing after your treatment, such as inflammatory acne or eczema.
Staying out of the sun for at least 2 weeks before and after the treatment is an absolute requirement so as to avoid any adverse reaction related to the treatment, which is why we generally advise patients start their treatment series in the fall or winter so that they are done before summer and can be well-protected from excess sun exposure.
The answer is “Yes and no.” We are constantly aging, and even despite our best attempts at sun protection, most of us still get incidental sun exposure throughout the year.
