Skin Pigmentation Removal
Over the years of excessive sun exposure skin can develop darker pigment patches from sun damage. Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment to target melanin rich pigmentation, will reduce the visibility of dark spots associated with ageing & sun damage.
Age spots, brown spots, sunspots, liver spots and freckles are associated with premature ageing and exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The heat breaks the pigment down into tiny particles which rise to the skin’s surface, causing the pigmentation to initially darken. After this scabs, crusts and possible flaking will form. This will naturally slough away within 7-10 days.
What Our Customers Say
I’ve been really satisfied with my course of treatment with Diana and I’d highly recommend booking with her. She’s pleasant to deal with, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. The course of treatment that I booked was interrupted at a couple of points by the pandemic but she went out of her way to arrange things so that I could get the best results from my treatment and generally provided great service throughout.
Really enjoying my laser sessions with Diana. She is so friendly yet professional and give brilliant tailored after care advice and tips. If you’re thinking of getting laser do and also book it with Diana!
Diana comes with a very professional attitude but also very good at explaining the process. No question is to hard for Diana to answer and the whole process has been essentially easy to navigate. It’s a relaxed environment and you can just arrange your appointment around work or dinner break depending on length of treatment. Yes l would definitely recommend her.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you will need to have Laser patch test & consultation if you are a new client to DD Laser clinic. This allows us to make the most customisable approach when treating you as well as ensuring the treatment is safe for you.
Most clients describe IPL as slightly uncomfortable, rather than painful, comparing the treatment to a rubber band snapping against the skin for a brief second. combined with a feeling of warmth. Treatments performed with a SHR laser are virtually pain free, only the slight feeling of warmth in the skin is present.
Keep the area to be lasered clean, without any cosmetic products, make up or fake tan. We gently cleanse the skin to prepare it for the treatment. We then apply a room temperature ultra-sound gel to the skin. You will also be asked to wear protective eye goggles for your safety.
A little redness, like sunburn, is usual after the IPL treatment for pigmentation and occasionally clients experience slight swelling, which usually goes down after 24-48 hours.
We advise apply a high SPF sunscreen. It is important that you avoid sun exposure before, during and after IPL treatment for pigmentation so sunscreen is essential and direct sun exposure must be avoided.
