IPL Pigmentation Correction

IPL pigmentation correction effectively fades and removes age spots, sun spots and discolouration to greatly improve overall skin tone, texture and radiance.

IPL Pigmentation Correction: What to Expect

During the treatment, your SkinBase Therapist will use a handheld wand to target pulses of light into the skin. The excess melanin within the skin readily absorbs the filtered light. During the rapid absorption of light energy, the light is converted into heat, which triggers the natural healing process of the body. When IPL for pigmentation is used, the dark patches will often darken post-treatment, before gradually lightening. Following treatment, the melanin will begin to crust and slough off the skin, reducing the appearance of pigmentation. This mild crusting usually occurs within two weeks, so you can achieve brighter, fresher skin as quickly as possible. A course of three to six treatments of IPL for pigmentation, spaced two to three weeks apart, is ideal for achieving the best results.

IPL For Pigmentation: How Does It Work?

A single day in the sun without SPF protection can lead to dark spots and patches of pigmentation on the skin. We know this can be frustrating, which is why we offer SkinBase IPL for pigmentation.

SkinBase IPL for pigmentation issues is a popular, effective treatment for breaking down pigmentation and providing an even skin tone. The process of Intense Pulsed Light Photorejuvenation is non-invasive and uses specific wavelengths of light, as the name suggests, to break down excess melanin and fade discoloured patches away.
