Photorejuvenation is a modern method of reducing skin discoloration and rejuvenating the skin, using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL). The treatment effectively removes benign pigmentation changes such as sunspots, hormonal discoloration (melasma), freckles, liver spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

IPL technology emits a broad spectrum of light that reaches the skin layers, where it is selectively absorbed by melanin. The light energy breaks down the accumulated pigment into smaller particles, which are then eliminated by the body in the natural skin regeneration process. Immediately after the treatment, the discolorations may darken, then peel off, leading to gradual lightening and disappearance.

How does photorejuvenation remove discolorations?

Selective absorption of light by melanin – light energy reaches the skin and is absorbed by the excessive pigment in the discolorations.
Breakdown of melanin into smaller particles – under the influence of pulsed light, melanin fragments, allowing the body to gradually eliminate the excess pigment.
Darkening of discolorations post-treatment – as a result of the skin's reaction to light, discolorations may initially darken, which is a normal stage of the regenerative process.
Gradual exfoliation – darker spots start to gently peel off, their intensity decreases, until complete removal.
Regulation of pigmentation process – photorejuvenation helps in balancing melanin production, reducing the risk of new discolorations and restoring even skin tone.

Effects of photorejuvenation on discolorations:

Reduction of sun, hormonal, and age-related discolorations – skin becomes even-toned and brighter
Gradual peeling and elimination of pigmentation changes – discolorations darken first, then peel off
Evening out skin tone – removal of pigment differences and skin brightening effect
Reduction of freckles and liver spots – effective removal of accumulated melanin deposits
Action at different skin depths – elimination of both superficial and deeper discolorations
Safe and precise method – selective light action only on skin pigment, without damaging healthy tissues
Prevention of new discolorations – improvement of skin quality and its ability to regulate melanin
Long-lasting effects – after a series of treatments, the skin is not only free of discolorations but also more resistant to their reappearance
