ABOUT
Lasers work very precisely; they are designed to seek out and target specific things in the skin, leaving everything else untouched.
This laser is set to target the pigment cells that cause patches of pigmentation, the cells absorb the light energy and are destroyed. As the number of cells reduces, pigmentation lightens and disappears. Pretty impressive, right?
The problem with pigmentation (including melasma), is that the condition can be very volatile and can be triggered easily, including by skin treatments, so you need to tip-toe around it carefully. Our pigmentation laser has a long wavelength and low absorption of haemoglobin and because of this it is a safer and more effective treatment and the skin’s reaction is milder, reducing inflammation and the likelihood of side effects.
The clinical benefits of this treatment have been proven over recent years on different skin colours including darker skin tones which traditionally haven’t been provided with a safe treatment option for melasma.
