The Beauty House IPL will successfully treat most forms of pigmentation caused by the sun, hormonal influences and the natural ageing process. With carefully planned sessions, we can successfully give you a more even and clearer complexion.
Skin pigmentation is result of abnormal production and deposition of melanin by the Melanocytes. Melanocytes are pigment-producing cells.
The number of Melanocytes present in our skin will determine our skin colour. Production of melanin is dependent on UV or sun exposure, and is a natural protective mechanism of the skin. Hyper pigmentation, or areas that are darker than the rest of the skin, result from excess melanin production and deposition.
Pigmentation occurs as a result of Sun exposure, Ageing, Hormones (melasma), Pregnancy (chloasma) and Skin Damage. The pigment can be near the surface (easier to remove) or deeper in the skin (harder to remove) and is often at various levels in most patients. Generally, the longer the pigment has been present the harder it is to remove, but reduction can usually be achieved in most patients.
Intense pulsed light is excellent at removing, or fading pigmentation caused by sun damage.
To successfully treat uneven pigmentation on the face or hands 4 treatments are recommended as a minimum. These sessions are generally performed around every 3-4 weeks. Immediately after your treatment the area may be a little red and or swollen with a mild stinging sensation.
Ice packs will alleviate this sensation. A SPF 30+, as recommended by your therapist is essential everyday if you want to permanently lighten and or remove any pigmentation. When treating pigmentation, avoiding Sun / UV exposure is crucial.
You must do the following:
• Every day use of a SPF 30+ or higher broad spectrum sunscreen
• Wear a broad-rimmed hat to keep your face in shade
Once the area has been treated you will notice the pigmentation will continue to darken and flake off, this process may take up to 2 weeks. Camouflage makeup can conceal any discoloration.
