All of those days spent outdoors sans sunscreen seemed like a good idea at the time, but now you’re paying the price with dark spots, or as they say in fancy medical speak, lentigines. They can make you look older than your years and take a toll on your confidence. Well, erase them and start fresh with our IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy for men.
IPL is a non-invasive, fast way to eliminate dark spots, sun spots, brown age spots, freckles and sun damage from the inside out with no downtime. You can stop by for a session on your lunch break and get back to your work and social life with no interruption. The best part? IPL actually works and the results are long lasting and maintenance-free unlike topical solutions. The laser treatment even has an additional bonus of improving your overall skin tone to make you look younger and healthier.

FAQ
How do dark spots on the skin form?
A: Everyone has melanin, which is produced by specialized skin cells called melanocytes. Melanin’s purpose is to protect your skin from sun damage and it’s the reason why the skin tans. As we age, sun exposure, medications and other factors can cause melanocytes to band together creating dark spots that make their way to the skin’s surface.
How does laser for dark spots work?
A: Laser is a natural way to target dark spots from the inside. A pulse of light is delivered that goes through the skin and breaks apart the clusters of pigmentation. While some of the superficial pigmentation rises to the surface and sloughs off, the deeper pigmentation is dissolved through the circulatory system. The heating of the dark spots is what stimulates the therapeutic effect.
How many laser treatments for dark spots will I need?
A: IIt varies by individual, however, the majority of patients have between one and three treatments. If your skin is extremely sun damaged or dark spots are very high contrast, additional treatments could be recommended. Touch-up treatments may be necessary.
What will happen to my skin after a laser treatment for dark spots?
