How Does IPL Therapy Work for Treating Pigmented Lesions?

Pigmented lesions, including age spots, sunspots, and melasma, occur when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment that gives the skin its color. This results in spots or patches that are darker than the surrounding areas. Pigmented lesions can occur due to many factors, including skin aging, sun exposure, and hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy.

IPL therapy is the gold standard for treating pigmented lesions like age spots, sunspots, and melasma. Intense pulsed light energy targets the melanin in the pigmented lesions. The light energy converts to heat, shattering the pigmented particles, which the immune system absorbs and naturally eliminates. The result? A more even skin tone and a clearer complexion.

Many men and women see results after just one treatment, but most require 2 to 4 sessions to achieve their desired outcomes. Our Etherea IPL-Sq laser produces impressive results, restoring your skin's clarity and youthful radiance.

What Can You Expect?

Consultation: We will start with a consultation to evaluate your pigmented lesions and customize your treatments to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Procedure Experience: During treatment, you may feel a mild snapping sensation as the device emits light pulses, but you should feel no pain.

Post-Treatment: Over the weeks following treatment, a scab may form over the treatment site, which should heal and flake off naturally. Typically you will also notice a temporary darkening of the area which is considered an excellent response. After that, it will slowly slough off leaving more beautiful skin! Make sure you apply sunscreen daily and protect your skin from overexposure to the sun to prevent additional pigmented lesions from forming.

Follow-Up: We may recommend a series of treatments to achieve the best possible outcomes. We may also recommend periodic follow-up treatments to help you maintain your clear and spot-free skin.
