When treating pigmented lesions, the IRIS works its magic by targeting high concentrations of melanin (the cells in our skin that both give our skin its colour and cause discolouration). The Iris emits a packet of light energy, which is then absorbed by the melanin and converted to heat, selectively destroying the pigment and leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. When used to treat tattoos the process is very similar, as the laser is attracted to the inks pigment, likewise pore size may be decreased by targeting the dark debris in them, resulting in a smoother texture. But if it’s rejuvenation you’re after read on.
Its added appeal is that when used for rejuvenation, the IRIS stimulates collagen production. And as the new collagen is generated, lines, wrinkles and the appearance of acne scarring are decreased.
