IPL
Hyperpigmentation Laser Removal
Our IPL Hyperpigmentation Laser Removal targets sun spots, age spots, freckles, and uneven tone using the Alma Harmony XL PRO. The treatment uses filtered light to focus on excess pigment while leaving surrounding skin undisturbed, so recovery is usually quick. At Evolution Aesthetics, we offer Hyperpigmentation Laser Removal (IPL), Pigmentation face treatment, and small body area treatments on the Harmony XL PRO. You can expect dark spots to darken and then fade over 1–3 weeks, with steady improvement across a short course. It’s a practical, clinic-grade option when skincare alone is not enough.
Even tone, quick sessions, little downtime
Precise targeting of pigment
Filtered IPL focuses on melanin in brown spots, helping fade discoloration while leaving nearby skin undisturbed.
Short treatment time
Most face sessions take 15–30 minutes; small body areas are even quicker.
Minimal discomfort
Contact cooling and smooth pulses keep the procedure very tolerable for most people.
Little to no downtime
Expect brief redness and temporary darkening of spots; normal activity usually resumes right away.
Longer-lasting clarity with a course
A series of sessions can give durable fading of sun-induced spots, especially with consistent SPF use.
Sun-smart approach
Works best on untanned skin; we guide you on SPF and scheduling to reduce risks of unwanted pigment changes.

Targeted light breaks down dark spots while protecting surrounding skin
IPL (intense pulsed light) delivers broad-spectrum light that is filtered to wavelengths absorbed by melanin, the pigment that makes sun and age spots look brown. The Alma Harmony XL PRO IPL module uses Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) and precise cutoff filters to deliver even energy across each pulse. Melanin in the pigmented lesion absorbs the light and converts it to heat, leading to selective photothermolysis—damaging excess pigment while sparing nearby tissue. Spots often darken within 24–48 hours, then flake or gradually fade over 1–3 weeks as the skin renews. Integrated contact cooling improves comfort and helps protect the surface while energy is delivered into the targeted chromophore.Contraindications
IPL for pigmentation is not suitable for everyone. A consultation and, in some cases, a patch test are recommended before starting treatment.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infection, open wounds, or dermatitis in the treatment area
- Recent sunburn, active tan, or self‑tanner within the last 2–4 weeks
- Use of photosensitising medications (e.g., certain antibiotics) unless cleared by your clinician
- Isotretinoin use within the last 6–12 months
- History of keloid scarring or poor wound healing
- Epilepsy triggered by flashing light
- Suspicious moles or a history of skin cancer in the area unless medically cleared
- Melasma or hormonally driven pigmentation that may respond unpredictably to IPL
- Deeply tanned or very dark skin tones may require alternative approaches or adjusted parameters
Fast sessions, steady results across 3–6 visits
Most people need 3–6 IPL sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for significant fading of sun spots, age spots, and freckles. Results build gradually, with many clients noticing improvement after the first or second session. Face treatments typically take 20–30 minutes; small body areas (hands, shoulders, forearms) often take 10–20 minutes. After the course is complete, maintenance once or twice a year helps keep results, especially with daily SPF. What to expect: spots usually darken within 1–2 days and then flake or fade over 1–3 weeks (face tends to clear faster than body). Mild redness, warmth, or swelling can occur for a few hours. Pre-care: avoid sun exposure and tanning for 3–4 weeks, pause retinoids and acids for 3–5 days, avoid waxing/peels for 1–2 weeks, remove makeup on the day, and tell us about any photosensitising medications. Post-care: cool compresses if needed, gentle cleanser and moisturiser, SPF 50 daily, avoid heat, heavy exercise, hot baths, and exfoliants for 24–48 hours; do not pick darkened spots as they lift naturally. At Evolution Aesthetics, we provide three formats on the Harmony XL PRO—Hyperpigmentation Laser Removal (IPL), Pigmentation face treatment, and Pigmentation body treatment (small areas)—so we can tailor session length and parameters to the specific area and type of discoloration.What goes well with IPL Hyperpigmentation Laser Removal?
- Specialist Dermatologist Consultation with 3D Skin TestMap pigment type and depth with the 3D skin test to tailor your IPL plan. This helps set the right energy, spacing, and home care to lower the risk of rebound darkening and improve fade speed.
- Hydrafacial for FaceA deep cleanse and hydration step before or after IPL. Removing debris and surface dullness allows more even light delivery and supports smoother recovery with less dryness and flaking.
- Pigmentation Barrier Skin BoosterStrengthens the skin barrier and adds brightening actives between IPL sessions. Helps limit new dark spots, improves tolerance to treatments, and extends the even tone you gain.
- LED TherapyCalms redness and reduces swelling after IPL. Supports quicker recovery so you can return to normal skincare sooner and stay on your treatment schedule.
- White Gloss Signature Pigmentation Laser ProtocolA focused clinic protocol for stubborn or mixed-type pigmentation. Can be used as a prep cycle or for touch-ups between IPL sessions to target spots that are slower to fade.
