IPL for Hyperpigmentation Toronto

IPL aka Intense Pulse Light is likely the most underrated and misunderstood skin treatment on the market, with no downtime and zero pain. Most have heard of a Photofacial that uses Intense Pulse Light Therapy to break up sun damage, brown spots on the face, broken cappilieries etc on the face. What is not well known is that IPL can treat ANY type of hyperpigmentation on any part of the body. 

Many people have darker underarms and groin area where a build up of melanin is visible on the skin. There is no health risk to having a build up of melanin but it is bothersome to some. Intense Pulse Light Therapy uses a broad spectrum of light to penetrate the skins layers getting into the layers where the melanin build up is. Using heat from the light it breaks up the pockets of hyperpigmentation. It brings the build up to the surface, the body breaks up the excess melanin then digests it and finally excretes it. 

Many of our laser hair removal clients add Hyperpigmentation to their laser session, pointing out that once the hair is gone having darker underarms and/or a darker groin area makes them self conscious. Most people respond quickly to IPL Hyperpigmentation treatment often seeing results after 2 sessions and total results after 6 to 7. Due to it's comfort level it's easy to think nothing is happening but it is and within a week or so you will see the results.
