IPL Pigmentation Treatment
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses targeted light energy to treat suitable sun spots, age spots and sun-induced pigmentation.
Pigmented areas may initially darken following treatment before gradually flaking or fading, revealing a more even-looking complexion.
A course of treatments may be recommended depending on the extent of pigmentation and individual skin response.

The most suitable treatment depends on the type, depth and cause of your pigmentation. IPL can be effective for sun spots and age spots, while chemical peels and medical-grade skincare may help improve uneven skin tone and certain types of hyperpigmentation.
Yes, IPL can significantly reduce the appearance of suitable sun spots and age spots by targeting excess pigment within the skin. Treated areas may initially darken before gradually fading or flaking away. Results vary, and some patients require multiple sessions.
Melasma can be managed with appropriate skincare, sun protection and selected professional or prescription treatments. As heat and certain procedures can worsen melasma, IPL is not generally our first choice for this condition.
This depends on the type and extent of pigmentation. Some sun spots may improve after one IPL session, while more extensive pigmentation may require a course of treatments. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations following your skin assessment.
Yes. Sun exposure, hormonal changes and skin inflammation can contribute to new or recurring pigmentation. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 50, appropriate skincare and maintenance treatments can help protect your results.
Treatment suitability depends on your skin tone, pigmentation type and medical history. Certain treatments, particularly IPL, may carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes in darker skin tones. A professional assessment is essential before proceeding.
