What is the Hyperpigmentation Treatment?

Pigmentation changes, freckles and age spots are a sign that the cells responsible for creating melanin in your skin have become unhealthy or damaged. Usually, this is caused by sun damage, hormones, genetics and/or the natural ageing process.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a fast and effective non-invasive hyperpigmentation treatment that can reduce or, in some cases, remove skin discolouration. Our medical-grade IPL machine utilises industry-leading and award-winning technology to pulse highly targeted light energy into the damaged melanin-dense cells. The energy in the light is absorbed by the damaged cells and converted into heat energy, which breaks the bonds between the cells, causing them to disperse. The result? A clearer, more even complexion.

Pain-free pigmentation reduction

The IPL hyperpigmentation treatment uses an innovative cooling system – known as the Sapphire Spot – to maximise your comfort and safety and protect against side effects such as overheating or blistering. This makes IPL a safe and pain-free option for treating those areas of pigmentation that may be making you feel self-conscious.

Treatment step-by-step

Step 1: Consultation

Before your hyperpigmentation treatment with IPL, we’ll talk to you about your skin health and daily skincare regime, as well as any factors that might be affecting your skin (for example, sun protection, hormones, etc.) We’ll then conduct a thorough skin assessment and perform a patch test. Feel free to ask questions – we want to know what matters to you!

Step 2: During your treatment

During the procedure, we use a handheld device to pulse broad wavelength light onto the area of hyperpigmentation. The skin captures and absorbs the energy in the light, transforming it into heat, which severs the bonds between the pigment-dense cells and causes them to break down. Cooling technology within the device ensures that you will feel comfortable throughout.

Step 3: After the treatment

The after-effects of hyperpigmentation treatment are usually mild. You may experience some superficial redness that self-resolves almost immediately following the procedure. We’re skilled and highly experienced at using the IPL technology for different skin types, understanding how to adjust the light pulses for thinner skin or darker skin types, for example – this minimises potential side effects.

Of course, you should always follow the aftercare advice provided to you by Aesthetics Labs to achieve superlative results.

Frequently asked questions

How many treatments will I need?

Typically, we recommend a course of six treatments, and you should see ongoing improvements to your skin with each appointment.

One of the main reasons that we insist on a consultation is so that we can assess your skin and create a treatment plan tailored completely to your needs. We also perform a patch test to ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

I recently had a facial at Aesthetics Lab, and I can say that without a doubt it was the best treatment I have ever received. From the consultation which was very thorough, in which we discussed each of my concerns in depth, to the facial itself, which was incredible. I have had many facials in the past and none of them have been of this high standard. I was then recommended some products which I purchased from the clinic and have been using ever since. They have done wonders for my skin, and I will definitely be returning! I cannot recommend Aesthetics Lab enough, the staff are so lovely and accommodating and the treatments are fantastic!

Emma and the aesthetics lab team are INCREDIBLE! I very rarely write reviews, but I am so happy with my experience with Emma, that I have to! I have recently been trying to explore how to optimise my skin. This is all new to me, so I was a bit hesitant and unsure going into the process. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience at a different clinic with a facial-gone-wrong, and am dealing with ongoing acne as a result. I had nearly lost hope that skincare could be for me, but then I found Aesthetics lab! Carolyn helped me with my initial consultation. She was very welcoming and empathetic to my situation, making me feel very comfortable. I had my first session the same day with Emma. I did a light treatment and the experience was fantastic. Emma immediately made me feel comfortable. She understood the concerns and hesitations that I had and was very patient answering my many questions. I felt very calm and could tell how experienced she was. I had such a great experience that I booked again and came back for my second treatment with Emma that same week. This time I got a hydra facial. It was again, a fantastic experience. I was so impressed with all of her knowledge on how the products work, her advice on what my skin might respond best to, and her understanding and empathy towards my situation. I really trust her and the advice that she gave towards my skincare routine. I have already seen improvements and am telling my friends to book their appointments with Emma! She is truly the best!

I have recently finished a course of Laser Hair Removal with Aesthetics Lab and could not recommend it enough , from the moment I walked in the staff were so welcoming and professional. The clinic itself is accessible, modern and exceptionally clean. I had 6 sessions targeting under my arms and legs which was painless and really effective with no redness or rashes which I have previously experienced when waxing, my only regret is I didn't visit sooner!!

The staff are very welcoming and professional, and have made me feel at ease and relaxed during treatments. The clinic itself is lovely and clean, and clearly looks like it's kept up to a high standard. Ive had two treatments here so far, eyebrow semi permanent tattoo with Charli and laser hair removal with Charlotte and both therapists have been knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly, and I've been very pleased with the results of the treatments.
