Pigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns caused by years of sun exposure. It often appears as:
IPL skin rejuvenation is widely used to improve these concerns by targeting excess pigment beneath the skin. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford, IPL treatments are commonly used to restore clearer, more even skin tone. Alongside improving sun damage and uneven pigmentation, IPL is also commonly used to reduce persistent facial redness and visible blood vessels associated with rosacea. Our detailed guides on IPL skin rejuvenation and rosacea treatment explain how this light-based therapy can help restore clearer, more balanced skin.
Pigmentation develops when the skin produces excess melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Common causes include:
Over time these factors can lead to visible spots or patches on the skin.
IPL delivers pulses of light energy that target melanin in the skin. When melanin absorbs the light energy, the pigment breaks down. The body then gradually clears the pigment through its natural healing processes. This can lead to:
Many patients begin IPL treatments in spring or autumn when sun exposure is lower. This allows the skin to heal while minimising the risk of new pigmentation forming.
