IPL Pigmentation & Discolouration Treatment

Intense pulsed light used to break up excess pigment and even out skin tone — fading sun spots, age spots and patchy discolouration on the face, neck, décolletage and hands. At Wegner Clinic each area carries a clear per-treatment price, with a combined face, neck and décolletage option. Pigmentation responds best to a short course, and careful sun protection helps maintain the result.

IPL for pigmentation delivers broadband light that is preferentially absorbed by concentrated melanin in sun spots, age spots and uneven patches. The light energy heats and fragments the excess pigment, which then darkens briefly and lifts away as the skin renews over the following days, leaving a more even tone. At Wegner Clinic the practitioner tailors the settings to your skin and the type of discolouration, and protective eyewear is used during treatment. The clinic prices the treatment by area — face, neck, décolletage, nape, shoulders or hands individually, with a combined face, neck and décolletage option. A session takes around fifteen to thirty minutes. Treated spots typically look a little darker for a few days before flaking away; mild redness is also normal. Because pigmentation forms over time and at different depths, a course of sessions usually gives the best and most even result, and ongoing sun protection is essential to prevent new spots and protect the outcome. IPL is most effective on lighter skin and on brown, surface pigmentation rather than deeper or hormonally driven discolouration, which may need a different approach; the clinic also offers dedicated medical peels for melasma-type concerns. Suitability is assessed beforehand, and recent sun exposure or a suntan may mean postponing treatment.
