The hands are one of the first places to show signs of sun damage and ageing. At Face Facts Buxton, our IPL Hands Pigmentation Treatment reduces age spots, freckles, and sun damage while improving skin tone and texture for younger-looking hands.
How IPL Works for Hand Pigmentation
Targeted Light Absorption
Broad-spectrum IPL light is directed to areas of pigmentation, where the melanin (pigment) absorbs the energy.
Pigment Fragmentation
The absorbed light converts to heat, breaking pigment-rich cells into tiny particles.

Natural Renewal
These fragments rise to the skin’s surface and naturally flake away over 7–10 days, revealing clearer skin.
Collagen Stimulation
The gentle heat also stimulates collagen production, enhancing firmness and improving skin texture.
Benefits of IPL for Hands
- Reduces Pigmentation – Targets and fades age spots, freckles, and sun damage.
- Evens Skin Tone – Restores a smoother, more uniform complexion.
- Improves Texture – Collagen stimulation refines skin and reduces fine lines.
- Quick & Non-Invasive – Safe, effective treatments with minimal downtime.
- Fast Sessions – Each session typically takes just 15–30 minutes.
Treatment Process
- Consultation & Test Patch: A full skin assessment ensures suitability before treatment begins.
- Treatment Sessions: A cooling gel is applied to the hands before the IPL applicator delivers controlled pulses of light.
- After Treatment: Pigmented areas may darken before fading and flaking away naturally over 1–2 weeks.
- Course of Treatments: Most clients require 3–6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for the best results.
Aftercare
- Expect mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment – this usually subsides within hours.
- Protect your hands daily with a high-SPF sunscreen to prevent future pigmentation.
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh skincare products for at least 1 week post-treatment.
