Pigment & Vascular Removal
Overview
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to target both vascular concerns (such as thread veins and broken capillaries) and pigmentary concerns (such as sunspots and freckles). By gently heating melanin and hemoglobin in the skin, IPL helps to reduce pigmentation, fade vascular lesions, and rejuvenate the skin for a clearer, more even complexion.
What to Expect
During treatment, pulses of light are delivered to the skin and absorbed by the target chromophores (melanin and hemoglobin). The light energy is converted into heat, which causes controlled thermal damage to the unwanted pigment or blood vessels. These are naturally broken down and reabsorbed by the body. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild snap on the skin, with minimal discomfort and no downtime required.
