- Removal of brown spots
- Removal of sun freckles
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Can simultaneously treat a wide range of facial concerns safely and effectively, such as broken capillaries, benign brown pigments, age spots (sun-induced freckles).
When treating unwanted areas of pigmentation, targeted areas momentarily absorb the light and become hot, but not for long enough to burn. This heat breaks down the pigmentation into tiny particles which then either rise to the skin’s surface as scabs, which are exfoliated away naturally within 1-2 weeks, or the particles are filtered away through the lymphatic system in your body.
Nd:Yag laser
Is named after the laser medium, Neodymium: yytrium–alumunium-garnet. This laser was specifically designed to help with pigmentation. ND YAG Laser comes in 2 wavelengths, 1064 nm and 532 nm. It is a non-ablative laser, which means that there is no break in skin tissue continuity during the treatment. It is designed to target pigment cells. This specific wavelength are absorbed preferentially by pigments (melanin) and the resultant heat will cause generation and propagation of waves that cause damage to the cells containing pigment. These damaged cells will then be cleared from the site resulting in lightening of the pigmented site.
