IPL

THERAPY FOR DISCOLORATION AND WRINKLE REDUCTION

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy improves the tone and texture of your skin. We specifically use BBL Technology to deliver light from the IPL device that penetrates your skin to damage the pigment, tissue, or blood vessels. Your body will work to repair the damage, reducing the appearance of discoloration or wrinkles. A series of IPL treatments improves the appearance of rosacea, flushing, sun damage, broken capillaries, age spots, skin texture, and photoaging.

HOW IPL WORKS 

For Hyperpigmentation - IPL emits broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, freckles, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. The light energy heats the melanin, breaking it down into smaller particles.

After the pigment is broken down, the body’s natural healing processes kick in, gradually removing the fragmented pigment. Over time, this results in a more even skin tone and a reduction in visible discoloration.

Types of Discoloration We Treat: 

- Sunspots and age spots.

- Freckles 

- Melasma 

- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), such as dark or red spots left after acne 

TREATMENT SPECIFICS
