Pigmentation
Treatments for removing or reducing the appearance of vascular
and pigmented lesions are often long-term and uncomfortable.
Frequently administered corticosteroid medications can have
undesirable side effects. Cryosurgery cannot be used in many cases.
Surgery and treatment with ablative lasers can be painful and may
cause damage and scarring to adjacent body areas.
In addition, unlike IPL, nearly all conventional treatments require
an extended healing period, preventing patients from resuming their
daily routines. In contrast, IPL treatment requires no down-time,
and can be used to treat many types of vascular and pigmented
lesions quickly and painlessly.
No more unwanted marks
Cosmetic flaws may be caused by heredity, medication, pregnancy
or environmental factors. Yet most vascular and pigmented lesions
are ideal candidates for non-invasive IPL pulsed light
treatments.
The widest range of benign vascular lesions, like port wine stains,
telangiectasias, hemangiomas, erythema, rosacea and poikiloderma of
Civette can be safely and effectively treated with IPL. In
addition, pigmented lesions like lentigos, seborrheic keratoses,
café-au-lait, ephelides and dyschromia can also be treated.
