What Is Pigmentation
Pigmentation is a result of melanocytes deep within the skin, depositing high/large quantities of melanin into melanosomes that then make their way up the layers of the skin leaving behind pigmentation deposits, which are then visible to the naked eye.
This process of pigmentation forming in the skin is possible with the help of its major influences: UV radiation (the sun) and hormones (pregnancy and some contraceptive pills). Some secondary influences that cause pigmentation can be using/ingesting enzymes that stimulate tyrosinase in the body or trauma to the area (burning the skin, rash, inflammation, acne).
Pigmentation can be treated with the use of IPL very successfully, pain free, with no/minimal downtime or side effects.

How Many Teatments Are Recommended
Typically 4-8 treatments are recommended with IPL Pigmentation Removal. Treatments can be performed once a month for 4-8 months to target a specific concern. IPL Pigmentation Removal can also be performed as a once off or before a special event to provide the skin with a brighter, plumping, tightening effect!
*Some patients can receive their desired results in less or more then the recommended treatments, depending on the individuals skin type, the depth of the pigmentation and UV exposure.
Pre + Post Treatment Care
During Treatment: During the treatment ultrasound gel is applied on the cleansed area to be treated, this will assist with keeping the skin cool while conducting the light energy into the skin. The Avalde Star IPL system has an inbuilt cooling system to ensure patients can experience comfort. This cooling system prevents the skin from heating up and minimising any chance of burning the skin.
Prior To Treatment: Prior to IPL Pigmentation Removal patients should be using tyrosinase inhibiting skincare to prevent the enzyme tyrosinase from continuing to produce pigmentation. These ingredients can also be using during treatment to assist with brightening the pigmentation and after procedures to prevent the pigmentation from reforming. Also 30-50+ SPF is recommended to be using daily to prevent darkening out pigmentation. Skin types 3 and high (Asian, European and Middle-eastern patients) Must be prepped on tyrosinase inhibiting skincare before any light based treatments as they have a high chance of producing more pigmentation as a side effect from light/heat based procedures.
Post Treatment: Post treatment patients can experience a glow to their skin and immediate plumping! There is no true downtime to IPL Photo Rejuvenation and patients can leave the clinic happy knowing their skin will be looking tight and fresh.
Some skin tightening can be experienced 1-7 days post treatment. It is important that patients wear sunscreen post treatment, daily for 1-2 weeks and keep out of direct sun exposure during this period of time.
