On the day of your sun and brown spot removal treatment at Motykie Med Spa in West Hollywood, you can expect a focused and effective session tailored to your needs. The procedure will vary slightly depending on whether you’re undergoing laser therapy, IPL, or a chemical peel, but each is designed to target and reduce pigmentation.
For laser treatments, a handheld device is moved over the treatment area, delivering light energy to break down the pigment in the skin. You might feel a warm sensation or slight snapping as the laser works, but the procedure is generally quick and lasts anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
If you opt for IPL, a similar approach is taken. Broad-spectrum light is delivered to the skin to target dark spots and promote a more even complexion. Again, you’ll wear protective eyewear, and the procedure typically feels like gentle heat or a rubber band snapping against the skin.
The skincare professional applies a solution to the affected areas for chemical peels. The solution exfoliates the skin and removes damaged layers, revealing fresher, more even-toned skin underneath. The peel can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
