What should I expect immediately after the treatment?

Directly after your session, the treated pigmented spots will appear much darker. This is known as the 'coffee grounds' effect and is exactly what we want to see. It means the pigment has successfully absorbed the light.

Will my skin peel off?

You won't experience sheet-peeling like a chemical peel. Instead, those darkened 'coffee ground' spots will rise to the surface and naturally flake or subtly wash off over the next 7 to 14 days.

Can I wear makeup while it heals?

Yes, absolutely. Because the skin's surface is not broken, you can apply makeup immediately after the treatment to comfortably conceal the darkened spots while they go through the shedding process.

How many sessions will I need?

While you will see significant brightening after just one session, we typically recommend a minimum course of 5 to 8 treatments to fully clear deep, stubborn sun damage and establish an even skin tone.

Erases Sun Damage

Directly targets and shatters melanin deposits trapped in the skin.

Why Choose IPL for Pigmentation?

Living in South Africa means heavy sun exposure, leading to premature aging and dark spots that topical creams simply cannot erase. IPL provides a clinical, highly effective solution.

Targeted Melanin DestructionThe device delivers precise light energy that is exclusively absorbed by the dark pigment in the skin, heating it until it shatters, without harming the surrounding healthy tissue.
Natural Shedding ProcessInstead of aggressive peeling, the body pushes the shattered pigment to the surface where it naturally flakes away in a few days.
Restores Overall GlowBy clearing away the dull, pigmented cells and stimulating a mild collagen response, the overall complexion becomes radically brighter and more luminous.
