Age Spots Removal Cheshire, UK

Intensed Pulsed Light Treatments for Skin Pigmentation & Sun Damage Age spots, sun spots, liver spots, freckles and other unwanted pigmentation are often associated with skin ageing and over exposure to the sun or sunbeds. Generally these age spots pose no health risk, however they can be unsightly and create a patchy, less youthful appearance. These can be successfully lightened or removed with Intense Pulse Light. How does IPL work for Pigmentation? The Intense Pulse Light System releases short pulses of filtered light which is readily absorbed by the high concentration of melanin found within freckles, sun spots or liver spots. The rapid absorption of light energy heats the melanin and eradicates the melanin-rich cells. How many treatments are necessary? Like you, pigmentation is highly individual and response to treatment does vary from person to person. This can be discussed at a consultation prior to treatment. What does treatment feel like? Treatment is mildly uncomfortable and a warm, tingling sensation not unlike sunburn can be experienced afterwards. Am I suitable for treatment? Most people are suitable for treatment except for very dark skinned or tanned individuals. (Sunbeds, false tan and sunbathing should be avoided during treatment). For some pigmentation, such as melasma, we would not advise using IPL. Any medical conditions will be discussed prior to treatment. When will I see the results? Response to treatment varies for each individual. This can be due to the severity of your pigmentation.

Many people in their thirties and older suffer from sun-damaged skin, which can present itself in mottled skin tone and areas of abnormal pigmentation. Age or sun spots and freckles are frequently seen types of ‘superficial’ pigmentation, and although benign, they can become an issue of cosmetic concern. IPL systems operate on the principle of selective photo-thermolysis in which target chromophores are selectively damaged with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The pulses of light are absorbed by the excess melanin and the area appears refreshed and renewed after around 10-14 days. The light pulses also stimulate the growth of new collagen and elastine fibres in the skin, which improves firmness and overall texture, helping to overcome the effects of sub damage.

Many people nowadays suffer from sun-damage, elasticity and volume loss of the facial skin which can present itself in many forms: wrinkles and fine lines are often accompanied by dry and rough skin, mottled skin tone, areas of abnormal pigmentation, vascular irregularities and sugginess.  Age/sunspots, freckles and red vessels on the face, neck and hands can become an issue of cosmetic concern. This treatments will improve both the firmness and overall texture of the skin forcing fibroblast activity which stimulates growth of new collagen and elastin improving volume, fine lines and wrinkles. It also tightens the skin diminishing large pores and giving the skin glowing appearance and gentle and natural uplift. At the initial consultation a qualified practitioner will assess your skin to determine which treatment best suites you. Typically courses of 3-5 treatments are required to improve skin tone, remove skin irregularities such as areas of excess pigmentation or thread veins.
