SkinBase Microdermabrasion 

SkinBase Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, designed to gently improve the appearance of the skin through exfoliation. As a result, it is an excellent method used to get rid of pigmentation. By gently removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion minimises the appearance of pigmentation and stimulates cell renewal, for a more even appearance. Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment. As you progress through a course of treatments, pigmentation can gradually be brought to the skin’s surface.  Then, your SkinBase therapist can slough it away, revealing the new, fresh skin beneath. How effective this is will depend on the depth of the pigmentation.

Chemical Peel 

Chemical peels use strong concentrations of acids to get rid of pigmentation for more even skin. A professional grade peel can remove the top layer of skin, or even penetrate deep into the dermis. Therefore, peels achieve powerful results against pigmentation. However, redness and irritation are common side effects of the pigmentation treatment, while blistering, infection and scarring are possible but much less common. You can find out more about the similarities and differences between Microdermabrasion and chemical peels on the blog here.

SkinBase Intense Pulsed Light 

SkinBase IPL photorejuvenation is a popular, light based therapy. Consequently, our SkinBase therapists frequently use IPL to get rid of pigmentation. Your therapist will target specific pulses of light at the skin to break down excess melanin. Thereby, gradually fading dark patches for a more even complexion. Unlike other laser pigmentation treatments, IPL is non-ablative so you can get rid of pigmentation without damaging the surface of the skin. So, find out more about treating pigmentation with SkinBase IPL.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
