Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy

Treatment for freckling, hyperpigmentation, age & sun spots. IPL will reduce general redness of the face and chest that is a result of sun damage.

Sun Spots/Age Spots

Also known as "Liver Spots". These darkened areas are usually most prevalent in the sun exposed areas of the body such as the back of the hands, face, shoulders and chest. Treatment options include "spot treating" isolated pigment areas to treating entire areas of the face, neck, arms, back and shoulders.

Freckling

Superficial pigmentation, especially on the nose and cheeks can be treated with IPL with two to three treatments over a period of several months.

Hyperpigmentation

Often due to repeated sun exposure, especially in fair skinned patients, and is successfully treated with IPL.

Melasma

Often the most difficult type of hyperpigmentation to treat. This condition usually occurs secondary to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy or with the use of birth control pills. Many treatments may be necessary.

A consultation with our RN laser technician may be helpful to determine the best treatment option for you.
