What Is Age Spot Treatments?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy for Age Spot Treatments is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses broad-spectrum light to target and break down excess melanin responsible for age spots. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single focused wavelength, IPL emits multiple wavelengths, allowing it to treat a broader range of pigmentation concerns across larger skin areas.
IPL is designed to selectively heat pigment without damaging surrounding tissues. As the melanin absorbs the light, the pigment fragments, darkens temporarily, and eventually fades as the body clears it. The treatment can brighten the skin, reduce discolouration, and create a more even, youthful appearance. Many individuals choose IPL due to its minimal downtime and its ability to treat multiple concerns – such as sun spots, redness, and uneven tone – in a single session.
How It Works
During Age Spot Treatments, IPL devices deliver controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light that penetrate the skin. This light is absorbed by melanin clusters within age spots. Once the melanin absorbs the energy, it heats up and breaks apart into smaller particles. Over the following days to weeks, the body’s natural healing system gradually removes these fragments, causing the spots to lighten or fade.
During treatment, a handheld IPL applicator is placed against the skin, and surface cooling or integrated temperature control may be used to enhance comfort and protect the epidermis. The device’s filters are adjusted to target pigment at the appropriate depth, ensuring effective treatment without excessive heat exposure. A typical session lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the area being treated.
