Hyperpigmentation on the skin are made up of dense clusters of melanin cells in the dermis and epidermis. Unfortunately we cannot treat Melasma which is hormonal caused pigmentation.
Protecting our skin from the sun with a broad spectrum sunscreen all through the year is the best way to prevent pigmentation and Intense pulse light can help reduce and lighten the appearance
Intense pulse light targets the melanin and brings the darker pigment to the surface and sheds after 10 days revealing more even skin tone.

How does it work?
IPL for Pigmentation
The wavelengths targets the melanin (darker pigment) just beneath the surface of the skin. The light causes damage, which in turn causes the body to expel the damaged pigment to the surface and will gradually shed after 10 days. Resulting in even skin tone and skin texture is also improved thanks to the release of collagen encouraged by the treatment process.
Candela alexandrite for Pigmentation
755nm wavelength targets melanin targeting freckles and pigmentation. Pigment will darken and shed after 10 days revealing lighter pigment and a more even skin tone

How does Laser hair removal work?Alexandrite 755nm laser emits burst of energy which is absorbed by the melanin (colour) of the hair. The laser will cauterise the blood supply at the root of the hair, effectively destroying the hair without affecting the surrounding area. Laser hair removal works best on pale skin with dark coarse hair.

Does Laser hair removal hurt?Laser hair removal is described as heat with a sting to the tail. The Candela Gentlelase pro has a Dynamic cooling device (DCD). This will make the treatment more comfortable and protect your skin. Cryogen is sprayed onto the skin before every pulse of the Laser. If you are worried about the sensation, feel free to come in for a free consultation and one of our Laser specialists will perform a small patch test so you can experience it
-
Who is suitable for Laser?The ideal candidate for laser hair removal is someone with pale skin, dark coarse hair. Finer hair is more difficult. Laser hair removal will not work on grey,white,auburn or blonde hair due to the hair having little to no pigment.

Can I sunbathe or wear fake tan during my treatment course?No, unfortunately you can not have sun exposure 4 weeks before and 4 weeks after laser. We recommend to not apply fake tan 2 weeks before your treatment to make sure it is completely off. Sun exposure or fake tan will effect your results and could cause adverse reaction. Your skin must be at it's palest on the day of each treatment. Please make sure no fake tan is on the area on the day, as we will not be able to proceed with the treatment.
