Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) or Broad Band Light (BBL)
The preferred treatment for hyperpigmentation is IPL or BBL. Unwanted pigment, sun spots and sun damage can be treated with IPL or BBL which breaks up the melanin and causes the pigment to come to the surface and flake off over 4-7 days. It helps with reducing pigmentation but can treat generalised redness at the same time. It also stimulates collagen re-growth, resulting in a healthy glow to the skin.
