After countless summers spent out in the sun, you’ve likely noticed marks of hyperpigmentation crop up on your skin. Though spots are common, it’s normal to want solutions for clearer skin.
If you’ve tried to get rid of these spots, you’ve probably used a handful of “skin brightening” creams or vitamin E oils. Though these products claim to treat hyperpigmentation, they’re not based on scientific evidence, which can be a risk not worth taking.
At Medical Spa NP, we only perform tried-and-true treatments, like intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, for hyperpigmentation. This revolutionary aesthetic treatment is changing how we address dark spots—minimizing discoloration with little to no recovery.

IPL for Hyperpigmentation
IPL, otherwise known as intense pulsed light, is a minimally invasive treatment that breaks up hyperpigmentation using broad spectrum light. These intense flashes of light target pigment, or the substance that gives the skin its color.
At Medical Spa NP, we use IPL therapy to treat many types of hyperpigmentation, including:
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Rosacea
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Spider veins
How to Know if IPL Is Right for You
Scheduling a consultation with one of our knowledgeable and compassionate providers is the best way to find out how IPL can address your concerns.
During your initial consultation, your provider takes the time to get to know you and your skin. They ask you to describe your concerns in detail, as well as how you want to look after treatment. They may also conduct an examination of your desired treatment area. This helps them determine what results are possible given your skin quality and aesthetic goals.
If your provider decides that IPL suits your skin needs, you work together to create your personalized treatment plan. Your plan may also include additional services and skincare products to further revitalize your skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
IPL is a relatively straightforward treatment process, which is designed to help transform your skin with as little downtime as possible.
Before treatment, your provider gives you a pair of eyeglasses to protect your eyes from the bright light flashes. They then use the broad-spectrum light on your skin to break up the hyperpigmentation as they go. This treatment process should be a comfortable experience, but we’re happy to adjust the intensity depending on your tolerance level.
Most IPL treatments take an hour to complete. Your treatment session may take longer if you’re pairing IPL with another skin-rejuvenating service.
