The power of good skincare & regular IPL treatments ⚡️
Pigmentation doesn’t just “appear” on the skin, it’s the result of overactive melanocytes.
Melanocytes are specialised cells in the basal layer of the epidermis. Their job is to produce melanin (pigment) as a natural form of protection against UV damage. In a healthy rhythm, this process is controlled and balanced. But when melanocytes are overstimulated and triggered by UV exposure, hormones, heat, inflammation, or injury to the skin, they can start producing irregular, excess pigment. This shows up as sun spots, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or uneven tone.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) works by targeting that excess melanin. The light energy is absorbed by the pigment, heating it up and breaking it down into smaller particles that the body can then naturally clear away. What’s clever is that the surrounding skin remains unharmed. IPL is selective, focusing only on pigmented clusters - I use the .ai.uk_ire versa device! 💡
But it’s not just about fading dark spots. IPL also stimulates collagen production, reduces vascular redness, and improves overall skin quality. That’s why, in this result, you can see not only a drastic reduction in pigmentation, but also refined texture and a healthier, more radiant complexion.
This is skin that isn’t just clearer, it’s functioning better & NOW is the time for IPL whilst we’re hitting autumn & winter 🍂💡
