Hyperpigmentation can be a challenging skin condition, but achieving a smooth, even skin tone is within your reach. Our skin’s color is primarily determined by melanin, a pigment influenced by genetics and environmental factors. However, pigmentary disorders can disrupt the skin’s natural tone. These disorders may be inherited or acquired and can arise from infections, side effects of medical conditions or other causes.
Some pigmentation issues affect localized patches of skin, while others can appear across larger areas or the entire body. The variation in pigmentation depends on the concentration and activity of melanocytes, the cells responsible for melanin production. An imbalance in melanocyte distribution or melanin synthesis can lead to noticeable discoloration, affecting confidence and overall appearance.
At Vive Dental Day Spa, our dentists and team are dedicated to providing effective, safe and minimally invasive treatments for hyperpigmentation. With our advanced technology, you can achieve brighter, more even skin tone and finally enjoy the complexion you have always wanted.
How V-IPL Technology Works
Our V-IPL treatments offer an advanced solution for reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin tone. This technology targets areas with high melanin concentrations, using energy to break down pigmented lesions. The process involves localized coagulation, leading to the natural removal of discolored skin cells.
Additionally, V-IPL helps prevent the formation of new pigmentation by balancing melanin production and regulating melanocyte activity. By inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis, this treatment delivers long-lasting results, leaving the skin brighter, clearer and more balanced.
Many areas can benefit from V-IPL treatments, including the face, neck, hands and chest. Whether you want to brighten your complexion or address specific pigmented spots, this versatile technology can be tailored to meet your goals. The process is gentle and effective, delivering noticeable improvements in skin tone.
Treatment suitability depends on the type of pigmentation being addressed. While most types can be treated, a professional dermatologist should evaluate the area first to rule out underlying skin conditions. This evaluation ensures that the most appropriate and effective approach is chosen for your needs. For some individuals, a single session will be enough to take care of superficial spots. However, deeper pigmentation may require two to four sessions to achieve optimal results.
