How Does IPL Photofacial Treat Sunspots and Age Spots?
IPL photofacial is highly effective in treating sunspots and age spots, which are common signs of sun damage and aging. The treatment works by using broad-spectrum light that targets the excess melanin (pigment) in the skin, which is responsible for the darkened spots. The light energy is absorbed by the pigmented areas, breaking up the melanin and allowing the body to naturally eliminate it. Over time, this process helps to fade and lighten the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and other types of hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin with a more even tone and complexion.
IPL photofacials also promote collagen production, which helps improve overall skin texture, making the skin appear firmer and more youthful. By addressing both the surface-level pigmentation and the deeper layers of the skin, IPL provides a comprehensive solution for those looking to reduce the appearance of sunspots and age spots. Multiple sessions may be necessary for more stubborn pigmentation, but the treatment is well tolerated by most skin types and has minimal downtime. Regular sessions can help prevent new spots from forming, especially when combined with proper sun protection.
