| Sunlight, environmental factors and the natural passage of time all contribute to the development of dark spots, skin pigmentation and freckles. Your face, hands and chest are the first parts of the body to show signs of aging because they receive so much sun exposure. Age spots, skin pigmentation and freckles are forms of pigmented lesions. They are caused by excess production of melanin in the skin by cells called melanocytes. |
 |
Lasers and Intense Pulsed Light devices have been used with great success to remove pigmented areas on the skin. Using this state of the art technology, charged energy light is selectively emitted to affected areas to be absorbed by the pigmented areas, sparing the normal surrounding skin. Topical remedies such as bleaching agents, glycolic acid, and retinoids can be tried but usually only treat the visible skin pigmentation whilst doing nothing to treat the cause under the skin. |

Skin pigmentation are spots that usually occur in sun exposed areas on the body. Skin pigmentation can also be known as age and or liver spots. The increased pigmentation of age spots is brought on by aging, over exposure to the sun or other forms of ultraviolet lights.
Liver spots are completely unrelated to the liver or liver function, in fact, liver spots are formed by changes in the skin colour associated with older skin.
Skin pigmentation can also occur in pregnant women due to the dramatic hormonal change the body goes through. In some cases skin pigmentation in pregnant women disappears after child birth, however it can have the reverse effect and worsen. |

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) pulses uses wavelengths of heated light which are directly aimed at the pigmented spots. The advantages of this technology include the fact that the pigment is able to be targeted precisely without damaging surrounding tissue. Skin pigmentation in the face, neck, chest and hands can be treated safely and effectively.
The light energy is gently delivered to the skin in pulses, through a delicate, computer-controlled handpiece. After your IPL treatment, the skin pigmentation or sun spots will gradually fade and slowly disappear, however in some instances the pigment may appear darker as it heals itself whilst in other cases it can flake up in a bid to eliminate the pigment in an external scab form.
The added benefit of the Palomar IPL Technology is that is also works to activate cells in the skin called fibroblasts which stimulate collagen remodeling and new collagen production. Effectively, this helps to rejuvenate the skin, improving its texture, visibly minimising pores and reducing superficial fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a more youthfully hydrated appearance. |
