Pigmented Lesions

IPL/ND-YAG Laser/Q-switch Laser

Light pulses/Laser target the melanin in the skin surface. Melanin is produced in the stratum basale and from there it is transferred to the rest layers of the epidermis, thus melanin is present in all 5 layers of the epidermis. As a result, the light pulses target melanin present in all 5 layers. The melanin absorbs the light and produces heat, which destroys the melanin, thus removing the discoloration.

What is X-Light Photo facial Technology?

Most clients can immediately stop using antibiotics and medicated creams.

What is the treatment like?
Photo facial Technology consists of five, thirty to forty five minutes, treatments spaced three weeks apart. Calibrated Pulsed Light/Laser is flashed along the skin of the face, and in some instances, neck and chest. Clients describe the sensation as feeling like the snap of a rubber band.

When clients will I be able to return to normal activities?
