How does IPL Phototherapy for Pigmentation Treatment work?
IPL Phototherapy is a cosmetic procedure that uses broad-spectrum light to treat all pigmentation problems in skin. Unlike traditional lasers , which use a single wavelength of light, IPL generates light at different wavelengths, this helps it to effectively target pigmented areas without damaging the surrounding skin.
The basic principle of IPL is the effect of light pulses to pigmented skin patches, such as melanin (which gives skin its colour) and haemoglobin (a pigment found in blood). These pigments absorb light, dissolving undesirable cells and structures including dark patches. As a result the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone is reduced, leading to a brighter and more even complexion.
Consultation with a specialist
Before starting the procedure we advise to have a consultation with our specialist, who will analyse your skin condition and determine the best locations for treatment.
Avoid suntan
Refrain from sun exposure and tanning beds 2-4 weeks before the procedures. Because the light targets pigmented parts of the skin, tanning increases the risk of burns or pigmentation during IPL treatment.
Use sunscreen
Always use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater to protect your skin from UV radiation, even if you’re not in direct sunshine.
Avoid of hair removal
A week or more prior to your visit, avoid using wax tweezers or hair removal treatments on the areas that will be treated because they may cause skin irritation.
Arrive skin-clean
Don’t apply moisturisers, makeup, perfumes or any other products on the regions that will be treated on the day of your treatment.
Avoid clear or harsh treatments
Don`t do peelings, laser treatments and other harsh skin care procedures one week before the procedure.
Hydration
Use calming and moisturising cosmetics on the skin. This will improve the procedure’s effectiveness and help keep the moisture level of your skin.
Avoid clear heat treatments
Saunas, hot baths and other treatments that could result in skin overheating should be avoided for a few days after the procedure
Avoid the sun
Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoid direct sunlight for the next two to four weeks after your treatment.
Steer clear of heat treatments
To prevent overheating of the skin, stay out of hot baths, saunas, hot tubs and physical activity for 48 hours following your treatment.
Do not pick at your skin
Avoid picking at any tiny scabs or peeling that you may see after the therapy. If you want to avoid dark spots or scars, let your skin recover naturally.
Schedule your next session
Make your next appointment in 3-4 weeks if you think you’ll benefit most from repeated IPL sessions. This allows your skin to recover and prepare for the upcoming treatment.

What Types of Pigmentation IPL Treated?
Age Spots: Usually found on the face, hands,and shoulders, these are flat, brown or black patches that develop on skin that is often exposed to the sun. IPL can effectively lighten these spots and reduce their visibility.
Sunspots: Prolonged exposure to UV rays causes sunspots, which are similar to age spots. IPL can help reduce their number of existing lesions and stop new ones from developing.
Freckles: Small, concentrated patches of melanin are called freckles. A more even skin tone can result from IPL’s ability to lighten these spots.
Melasma: A disorder that results in broad, darker skin areas; frequently brought on by hormone fluctuations. IPL may reduce melasma’s severity, but it might take several sessions.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Dark patches that appear following an injury or inflammation (like acne). IPL can help in fading these markings.
