Pigmentation

How can I fade my pigmentation spots in Nice?

Sun spots, pregnancy mask, age spots on the face, décolleté or hands: pigmentation spots come from melanin produced in excess and unevenly distributed. To erase them durably, a single technology is generally not enough — they must be attacked with light AND gentle chemistry.

Our anti-spot protocol crosses IPL photorejuvenation, whose pulsed light is absorbed by melanin (the spot darkens for a few days then flakes away and lightens), depigmenting peels suited to your phototype, and LED photomodulation to regulate and soothe. On stubborn spots, nano-needling drives brightening actives deep down.

Two non-negotiable rules: the course is scheduled outside periods of strong sun (ideally October to April) and comes with strict sun protection — without it, the spots return. Mapping of your spots, phototype and calendar: everything is decided at the complimentary skin assessment (pay-per-session prices, see also the Anti-Spot Package).

How we proceed

• The complimentary assessment. Spot mapping, identification of their origin (sun, hormones, age) and of your phototype.
• The light attack. IPL on targeted spots: they darken, flake, and lighten over the sessions.
• The surface work. Depigmenting peels as a course, to even out the complexion and prevent recurrence.
• The protection. A strict sun routine and photographic monitoring — the key to a lasting result.

Frequently asked questions

Why do my spots darken after IPL?

It is the sign the light has properly targeted the melanin: the spot darkens for 3 to 7 days, then flakes and lightens. That is the treatment's normal, expected course.

Can spots be treated in summer?

IPL sessions and active peels, no: the risk of pigment rebound is too high. We schedule the course from October to April and prepare your skin during summer.

Is pregnancy mask treated like sun spots?

No — melasma is hormonal and more prone to recurrence: it calls for gentler, more progressive protocols and rigorous maintenance. The assessment makes the distinction before any treatment.

How many sessions for an even complexion?

Generally 3 to 5 IPL sessions one month apart, interwoven with peels. The exact number depends on the extent and age of the spots — the assessment's quote specifies it.
