Pigmentation, Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation Treatment in Amsterdam
Advanced Alpha 3D IPL for pigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone and skin rejuvenation.
Dark spots, sun damage and hyperpigmentation can make the complexion appear uneven, dull and prematurely aged. At Gustil Aesthetics in Amsterdam, we treat suitable pigmentation concerns with Alpha 3D IPL, an advanced, medically certified Intense Pulsed Light technology that precisely targets excess pigmentation while also stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Beyond improving pigmentation, the treatment can also help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimise enlarged-looking pores, improve firmness and restore a clearer, smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking complexion.
What Can Alpha 3D IPL Treat?
Alpha 3D IPL can target suitable pigmentation concerns while simultaneously improving overall skin quality.
In only one session, Alpha 3D IPL can precisely target excess pigmentation while also supporting a clearer, brighter and more even-looking complexion.
The treatment is particularly useful when pigmentation exists alongside other concerns such as uneven texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines or loss of firmness. The result is clearer, brighter and smoother-looking skin with improved texture, firmness and overall skin quality.
Alpha 3D IPL can help target:
- Sun damage and sun spots
- Dark spots and age spots
- Freckles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Pigmentation following acne or inflammation
- Suitable superficial melasma
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged-looking pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Dull, tired-looking skin
How Does Alpha 3D IPL Treat Pigmentation?
Controlled light energy selectively targets excess melanin within visible areas of pigmentation.
Alpha 3D IPL delivers precisely controlled pulses of light that are selectively absorbed by excess melanin within areas of pigmentation.
The targeted pigment absorbs the light energy and is gradually broken down and naturally cleared as the skin renews.
After treatment, pigmentation commonly becomes temporarily darker before becoming lighter. Over the following days, the treated pigment gradually fades or flakes away, revealing clearer and more even-looking skin.
At the same time, IPL photorejuvenation stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles, refine enlarged-looking pores, improve firmness and create a smoother, more even skin texture.
Why pigmentation may darken first
Temporary darkening is an expected treatment response. The targeted pigment gradually fades or flakes away as the skin renews.
Alpha 3D IPL: Personalised Precision for Pigmentation
Every treatment is adapted to your individual skin rather than applying one standard IPL protocol to everyone.
Milo™ Melanin Reader
Before every treatment, we measure your skin's melanin level to help select precise and personalised treatment parameters according to your individual skin characteristics.
Golden-Touch™ Cooling Technology
Adaptive cooling protects the skin during every pulse, improving comfort and helping prevent overheating without excessive cooling that could compromise treatment effectiveness.
3D Precision Control
Alpha allows control over energy, pulse duration and cooling intensity so treatment can be personalised to the pigmentation concern and skin characteristics.
Beyond Pigmentation
Photorejuvenation also supports collagen and elastin, helping improve fine lines, pores, firmness, skin tone and texture.
Understanding Pigmentation, Dark Spots & Melasma
Different forms of pigmentation have different causes and may require a different treatment approach.
Hyperpigmentation
The general term for areas where the skin produces excess melanin.
Dark Spots
Localised areas of pigmentation often associated with sun exposure, ageing or previous inflammation.
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Pigmentation that can remain after acne, irritation or other inflammation in the skin.
Melasma
A more complex and recurring form of hyperpigmentation influenced by factors such as sun exposure, visible light, hormonal changes, heat and genetics.
Pigmentation cannot always be permanently eliminated, but it can be significantly reduced and kept under control. Alpha 3D IPL helps reduce existing visible pigmentation, while consistent sun protection and high-quality medical-grade skincare are essential to maintain results and help prevent pigmentation from becoming more visible again.
