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.

Benefits:

  • Reduces pigmentation such as age spots, sunspots, and freckles.
  • Treats vascular lesions including thread veins, broken capillaries, and spider veins.
  • Manages redness and flushing caused by rosacea.
  • Stimulates collagen production for smoother texture and a youthful glow.
  • Provides overall skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Ideal For:

  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Freckles
  • Age spots and pigmentation
  • Broken capillaries and thread veins
  • Redness and rosacea-prone skin
  • Clients seeking brighter, clearer, more even-toned skin

Aftercare:

After your treatment, mild redness, swelling, or tenderness may occur at the treated site. Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment. Follow our recommended skincare routine and protect the area from sun exposure to ensure optimal healing. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your procedure.

Duration and Frequency:

  • Treatment time varies depending on the area but typically lasts 30-45 minutes.
  • A course of 3-6 sessions is usually recommended for optimal results.
