Understanding Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation occurs when certain patches of skin become darker than the surrounding areas due to excess melanin production. Common causes include prolonged sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, and acne scars. While not medically harmful, hyperpigmentation often affects self-confidence and creates an uneven skin tone.
At our Foothill Drive med spa in Salt Lake City, we offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy as an advanced solution for skin discoloration. This treatment uses controlled light pulses to target excess pigmentation without harming surrounding tissue. By stimulating the skin’s natural healing process, IPL helps fade discoloration and promote a clearer, more even complexion for clients from Sugar House, the East Bench, and throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
How IPL Works for Hyperpigmentation
IPL therapy delivers light pulses that penetrate the skin’s surface, targeting melanin in the affected areas. This light is absorbed by the pigmented cells, breaking them down into smaller particles that are then naturally eliminated by the body. Over time, treated areas appear lighter, and the overall skin tone becomes more uniform.
This treatment is non-invasive and requires minimal downtime, making it a popular option for those seeking an effective and convenient way to address hyperpigmentation.
