PIGMENTATION REMOVAL
Pigmentation simply refers to the colour of our skin, which can sometimes become discoloured – usually as a result of too much time in the sun. This might take the form of freckles or age spots, or larger patches of darker or lighter skin.

SKIN NEEDLING
Skin needling is a procedure to help lessen the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars, and pigmentation. It is performed using a needling device and a topical numbing cream for absolute comfort and has almost no down-time, post procedure. The needling device works by inserting tiny micro needles into the skin creating thousands of perforations. These microscopic perforations stimulate the body's own natural electrical response. (just like acupuncture) This increases blood circulation to the penetrated area while at the same time stimulates collagen and elastin at the site of the perforations which fills in wrinkles, scars and can even lighten pigmented areas of the skin.

FAQs pigmentation removal ;
-
Light absorption
IPL uses a range of light wavelengths to target specific cells in the skin. The skin's pigments absorb the light energy, which converts to heat.
-
Pigment breakdown
The heat breaks down the pigments, causing them to darken and appear like coffee grounds.
-
Cell turnover
The darkened pigment will slowly slough off over the following weeks, revealing clearer skin.
-
Collagen production
The heat from the light also stimulates collagen production, which can improve the skin's texture and appearance.
IPL can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including:
Age spots, Sun spots, Freckles, Redness, Rosacea, Capillaries, and Unwanted hair.
