Service Description

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets the melanin, breaking up bonds between the cells to lighten the patches and disperse the clusters over time. Pigmentation is notoriously tricky to treat, as it quite often lies deep beneath skin’s surface and has developed over many, many years. Most cases require 3 to 6 sessions of IPL as each session builds on the results of the previous one, giving longer lasting effects and preventing recurrence of the original melasma or hyperpigmentation. The skin takes around 4 weeks to heal between each treatment, as skin cell renewal occurs every 28 days, so typically treatments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
