Freckles, Sun spots and Melasma Treatments – Perth, Western Australia
A clearer, more even skin tone is the answer to younger looking skin.
IPL is an effective, non-invasive solution to achieving a fresher, more even complexion. Photo rejuvenation with IPL provides superior results for many skin concerns including pigment marks caused by sun or age; freckles; and generalised facial redness.
Pigmented lesions may be present on your skin due to a number of reasons; including:
- Genetics, such as in the case of freckling
- Photo damage from UV rays, resulting in sun spots.
- Melasma may be present as a result of hormonal changes, pregnancy or the contraceptive pill
Pigmentation is commonly more predominant and exacerbated on the areas that are
consistently exposed to the damaging effects of UV rays; specifically:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Arms
- Legs
IPL will effectively remove or significantly lighten pigmentation as the skin’s melanin absorbs the light energy, transferring into heat energy to destroy the melanin containing skin cell.
Initially the treated pigmentation will appear darker, however within approximately 2 - 4 weeks this will diminish and a clearer complexion will become visible. Multiple sessions may be required to produce the desired result with maintenance treatments often necessary.
An effective sunscreen and comprehensive skin care regime is also essential to maintaining IPL treatment results.
