What is pigmentation treatment?

Lynton IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a highly advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses light energy to target and treat various skin concerns, including pigmentation issues. The technology delivers pulses of light that penetrate the skin at different depths, breaking down pigmentation and promoting collagen production. IPL is effective in treating sun spots, age spots, freckles, and other forms of hyperpigmentation caused by ageing, sun exposure, or hormonal changes.

The Lynton IPL treatment offers numerous benefits for those struggling with pigmentation issues, including:

Targeted Treatment: IPL selectively targets dark spots and pigmentation without affecting surrounding skin.
Non-invasive: No surgery or needles are involved, making it a pain-free treatment option.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Improved Skin Tone: IPL helps to balance skin tone and texture, leading to a more even, radiant complexion.
Stimulates Collagen Production: The treatment helps to boost collagen production, improving the skin’s overall appearance and health.
Quick Results: Visible improvements often appear after just a few sessions, with enhanced results over time.

Who is Suitable for Lynton IPL Treatment?

Lynton IPL treatment is suitable for a wide variety of skin types and tones, but it’s particularly effective for those with fair to medium skin types. Ideal candidates for IPL treatment include:

Individuals with sun damage or age spots.

Is IPL treatment painful?

Most patients describe the treatment as slightly uncomfortable but not painful. It feels like a light snapping sensation on the skin. A cooling gel may be applied to enhance comfort.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions required depends on the severity of the pigmentation. Typically, 3-6 sessions are recommended for optimal results, spaced about 3-4 weeks apart.

What can I expect after treatment?

You may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area, but this usually subsides within a few hours. Pigmented spots may appear darker initially before they flake off and fade.

Is there any downtime?

There is minimal downtime. You can return to your daily activities right after your treatment. However, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect your skin.

Are the results permanent?

While IPL treatment can significantly reduce pigmentation, it doesn’t prevent new pigmentation from forming. Maintaining a skincare routine with sun protection can help prolong results.

Is IPL suitable for all skin tones?

IPL is most effective for lighter to medium skin tones. Those with darker skin tones may not be suitable for IPL, as the treatment targets pigment and could cause hyperpigmentation. A consultation with Nurse Billa will determine the best approach for your skin.
