Struggling with Uneven Skin Tone?
Returned from your summer holidays feeling fresh and recharged only to look in the mirror and notice uneven dark ‘freckle-like’ patches that weren’t there before your tan died down? Or, perhaps it’s been a couple of months since you noticed them and they are still rearing their stubborn heads? Sounds like you have hyperpigmentation – which is triggered by excess sun exposure. If you want to resolve areas of uneven tone and hyperpigmentation, here are our suggestions: What tweakments can work for hyperpigmentation? While hyperpigmentation can be a stubborn skin condition, we recommend you the following treatments to try: IPL: Intensive Pulsating Light ( IPL) is a solution for age spots, sun pigmentation. However, if Melasma (hormonal pigement) is the issue, this might not be the best option. SkinPen Medical Microneedling: Combining the skin-tightening benefits and the collagen-boosting, skin-smoothing effects it can also treat mild sun damage, with limited downtime (1-3 days). Melasma can also be treated with SkinPen, but in combination with the correct home care routine. What kind of home skincare do you need? We highly recommend the combination of different vitamins and retinol as well as sunscreen SPF50 whole year round. Each skin needs different approach. Remember, skin pigmentation is long term battle and needs to be checked and treated every year. What happens after IPL laser on face? After IPL therapy, you may experience: Slight bruising, burning sensation after the treatment. Age spots and freckles looking darker for the first 3 – 7 days, which is normal. Skin becoming crusty or flaky, which may last 7 – 10 day. It is important to wear SPF50+ every day after IPL treatment. IPL treatment heats up the surrounding tissue and melanin, with a higher risk of burns on darker skin types and due to the heat produced, can actually stimulate and increase the appearance of the darkened pigmentation and is therefore not recommended. Avoid very hot baths, showers, steam baths or saunas, and don’t swim in strong chlorinated water for two or three days. Don’t use bleaching creams or perfume products for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid exfoliating or peels for one week. Try to avoid wearing tight clothing for two or three days. While you heal: Don’t put on makeup if your skin hurts. Use moisturizing lotion. Protect yourself with sunscreen. Make sure it has an SPF of at least 50 and a physical blocker like zinc. Wash your face with cleanser for sensitive skin. We will be in contact after the treatment and we encourage every client to come for a check up after IPL treatments. Please, contact us on 0651137656 or book directly online.

Do you suffer from pigmentation or redness on your skin?
Do you suffer from pigmentation or redness (couperose) on your skin? If yes, let us inform you what it possible to be done! At ASPA we treat various skin complaints by means of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). IPL treatment is an effective technique in which light is absorbed by the target (especially pigment or vessels). The heat destroys pigment or vessels. IPL treatment against pigmentation spots Our skin contains the so-called melanin. When your skin comes into contact with the sun, this melanin colors and eventually gives your skin a color. As one gets older, the skin may color irregularly and this can lead to pigmentation. The pigment spots are often on the hands, décolleté and face. These are the most common areas exposed to sunlight. This can make your skin look much less even. We completely understand that you want to get rid of your pigmentation spots so that your skin looks more even, smoother and younger. Our skin specialists can treat pigmentation spots easily and safely with a customized IPL treatment. IPL treatment against couperose Many of us suffer from redness (couperosis) in the face. This can be genetically determined or due to your lifestyle (being outside a lot, alcohol use, work environment, etc..). When the vessels of the skin are weak and break due to the constant narrowing and widening, we see a red/purple vessel arise just under the skin. An IPL treatment is the solution against couperose and redness in the face. IPL treatment for tighter and firmer skin A ‘photofacial’ or Skin Rejuvination Facial are terms usually used, but it means a skin-improving treatment done with light in this case, IPL. Here, the IPL is used to heat the fibroblasts in the skin – the cells that make collagen – and this stimulation encourages the fibroblasts to produce new collagen, to improve and firm the look of the skin. This treatment will help the whole face to look fresher and clearer, too. How does an IPL treatment work? The name Intense Pulse Light actually says it all. By giving a pulse of light on the pigment spot or couperose, heat is created that removes the pigment or redness. It is a short treatment and the result can be seen immediately. You can also opt for specific part of the face or a full IPL facial treatment. If you suffer from blemishes, redness and pigment in multiple places in the face, we recommend a full face IPL treatment. Are there any side effects to IPL? IPL is considered a safe treatment, but it can still have side effects. These are the four side effects you’re most likely to experience: You may feel discomfort or pain during the treatment. Your skin may turn pink and may become somewhat sore after the treatment. For a few days after IPL, your skin may be red, or may swell or peel, as if you had suffered a mild sunburn – though be aware this is unusual, and it may be an indication that the treatment you were given was at too high a level. If you have had freckles or age spots treated, they will look darker for up to a week before gradually disappearing. About one in ten IPL patients also experiences bruising after treatment. Two other side effects that occur occasionally after IPL treatment are hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation: means ‘too much pigmentation’. In hyperpigmentation, a treated area of skin becomes darker – much like when you get a suntan – because the treatment has stimulated melanin from epidermal melanocytes, the skin cells that produce melanin. Hyperpigmentation is more likely to occur on darker skin, and it can usually be reversed by treatment. But it is a compelling reason for not treating darker skin with IPL. means ‘too little pigmentation’. Hypopigmentation occurs if the IPL treatment heats up the melanocytes to the point at which it destroys them, leaving pale patches. Hypopigmentation is not reversible.
