Pigmentation and Sun Damage
This is another of FOUND's more popular treatments.
Pigmentation, age spots and freckles are typically caused by sun exposure or the natural ageing process.
Here is New Zealand, the sun is harsh and we are aware of what we need to do to protect our skin. But long hot summers and hours of fun at the beach and in the open air will take its toll. And that's when you'll need our help!
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light technology) is an effective skin pigmentation treatment. It is safe, precise and very effective way to eliminate pigmentation, age spots and unwanted freckles. IPL treatment for pigmentation has minimal effect on the surrounding skin and is relatively painless.
When treating pigmentation, the IPL works by releasing small pulses of filtered light which is attracted and absorbed by the pigment colour in the skin, without affecting the surrounding skin. The body eliminates the pigment through the lymphatic system safely with little or no side effects.
How many treatments will I need?
We will need an initial consultation to determine how many sessions will be needed. As a guideline, to successfully treat pigmentation, we usually recommend 3-6 appointments, 28 days apart.
After treatment the pigmentation should not return. That said, you will need to protect your skin from any further sun damage to prevent new pigmentation forming.
Will it hurt?
The procedure has a slight pricking feeling. Some people find it a little uncomfortable but not painful.
