Treating age spots and sun damage and complexion with IPL in Victoria BC

 

✔︎Hyperpigmentation, ✔︎freckles, ✔︎brown spots, ✔︎age spots, ✔︎sun spots, and ✔︎liver spots—they go by many names, but all have one thing in common: they lead to an uneven complexion and blotchy skin tone. Most visible in exposed areas due to sun damage, like the face, neck, and hands, these marks—sometimes called solar lentigines—are a result of too much fun in the sun and not enough protection.

Similarly, you may be experiencing dilated or broken blood vessels, spider veins or red spots from past blemishes.  

The good news? We’ve got a proven solution. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments are designed to target these skin concerns and help restore a smoother, more even complexion that lets your radiance shine through.

How Does Intense Pulsed Light Work?

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photorejuvenation is an advanced treatment that uses precise light energy to target and reduce vascular and pigmented lesions. By focusing on hemoglobin (responsible for redness in vascular lesions) and melanin (responsible for dark spots), IPL effectively breaks down these irregularities. The absorbed light damages the pigmented cells, triggering the body’s natural healing process, causing the lesions to fade over time. This targeted approach ensures that only the unwanted pigmentation or blood vessels are treated, leaving the surrounding skin untouched. With minimal discomfort and no downtime, IPL offers a safe and convenient way to achieve a clearer, more even-toned complexion.

  • Improves Acne Scarring: IPL reduces the appearance of acne scarring and blemishes for a smooth, even complexion.

    What Can I Expect After An IPL Treatment?

    After an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment, it’s normal to experience some redness that typically subsides within 24 hours. Localized swelling may also occur in some instances and can last for up to 7 days, depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Brown spots targeted during the treatment may darken initially and gradually flake off or fade over the next 1-2 weeks as your skin renews itself.

    To promote healing and achieve the best results, keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and protect it with a broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid excessive sun exposure and follow any aftercare instructions provided by your technician for optimal recovery.

    • No Downtime, Quick and Comfortable Sessions
    • Healthier, Smoother Looking Skin
    • Even Skin Tone and Improved Complexion
    • Reduced Pore Size
    • A More Youthful Appearance and Reduction in Spider Veins

      FAQs

      Brown spots, often called sunspots or age spots, are caused by excess melanin production due to prolonged sun exposure, aging, or hormonal changes. To prevent this it's important to wear an SPF daily.

      Brown spots can be effectively reduced with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments. IPL targets the melanin in the spots, breaking it down so the body can naturally eliminate it. Products containing pigment reducing ingredients such as Alpha Arbutin or Kojic acid can be helpful in supporting your IPL treatments.

      IPL is one of the best treatments for dark spots. It targets the pigmented areas with light energy, helping to fade the spots over time while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.

      Spider veins are caused by dilated or damaged blood vessels just beneath the skin's surface. They can result from genetics, sun exposure, aging, hormonal changes, or pressure from standing or sitting for long periods.

      Facial spider veins can be treated effectively with IPL. The light targets the blood vessels, causing them to collapse and gradually fade, leaving your skin clearer and more even-toned.

      It’s never too late to improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. IPL treatments can help reduce pigmentation, redness, and other signs of damage, restoring a more even and youthful skin tone.

      IPL is very affordable in Victoria BC. Our treatments start at $100 per session. A consultation is required to assess your particular needs. Call 250.590.5459


      "I had gone in for laser on my face for redness and broken veins.. Salin, explained very thoughtful that she likes to listen and work together with her clients. Salin proved just how great she is by being the best Laser tech I have ever been to. I should mention I have been doing this for 20 years. I am Scottish and prone to broken capillaries, red and blotchy skin. Salin has made a dramatic difference."(abbreviated)
