Pigment spots / age spots Frankfurt

Like moles and freckles, age spots are pigment spots on the skin. They tend to appear on areas of the skin that are frequently exposed to the sun.

Pigment spots / age spots treatment

Unlike freckles, the black, brown or yellow spots are permanent.

Many people find these basically harmless spots cosmetically unpleasant, especially as they often settle in places where they cannot be easily concealed. Thanks to modern IPL technology, however, age and pigmentation spots can be removed easily and gently.

Treatment and follow-up time

During treatment, the age spots are exposed to high-energy short pulses of intense long-wave red light. This is absorbed by the melanin (dark colour pigment of the skin) and converted into heat. At a sufficiently high temperature, the pigment-rich cell structures are destroyed in a targeted manner. The surrounding tissue is neither heated nor burnt.

The treatment causes a slight crust to form, which falls off by itself after five to seven days. You should not remove these crusts before then. In addition, you should not expose yourself to the sun without sunblock for the first six weeks.

Depending on the intensity and age of the spots, up to three sessions may be necessary. However, this method of age spot removal is uncomplicated and does not restrict your normal activities in any way.

Latest device technology

In contrast to many devices that do not achieve the expected success, we work with a new IPL technology that enables a relatively high energy input by splitting the light pulses into several so-called daughter pulses. The pulse length and pause times can also be precisely adjusted. This allows for more intensive treatment that is gentle on the skin and tissue. Depending on the respective indication, treatment is carried out at different wavelengths using a special treatment head. This is also very important in order to achieve the desired success.

After the treatment

To protect against UV radiation and Pigment damage direct and unprotected exposure to the sun both before and after the procedure.
