Skin Pigmentation

There are a few major causes of skin pigmentation (i.e., scars, birthmarks, sun spots, sun-damaged skin, etc.) which could be effectively treated with laser or light-based treatments (photorejuvenation). A consultation with Dr. Ebrahim allows for proper diagnosis and treatment protocols.

IPL (Photorejuvenation) for Skin Pigmentation

IPL or Intense Pulsed Light, also known as photorejuvenation, is an innovative, non-invasive rejuvenation technique which involves high intensity pulsations of light (not lasers) passing through the skin. It is non-ablative; meaning no skin is removed.

IPL is very effective in targeting skin pigmentation without damaging surrounding tissue, so that the pigment slowly fades and eventually disappears.

This breakthrough treatment results in the high-energy light source"damaging" the blood vessels, causing them to get blocked off by a process called selective photothermolysis.

The treatment also results in an exfoliation of damaged skin coupled with the stimulation of collagen production on the skin's surface.

Benefits include the smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles, a smoother, more refined complexion, improved texture and a reduction in pore size.

The treatment can be used effectively on the face, neck, chest and hands.

It does not contain harmful UV light and is a very safe, effective and established treatment for a number of benign skin conditions.
