NON-SURGICAL LASER TREATMENT FOR CRYSTAL CLEAR SKIN

The Q-switched Nd

Laser is a non-ablative pigment laser that can be effective in lightening and reducing excess pigment in the skin. This treatment gradually improves stubborn pigments such as age spots, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The laser emits light that is absorbed by the unwanted pigment, causing it to break up into smaller particles. These fragmented pigments are then naturally cleared from the body via the immune system. Additionally, the treatment stimulates collagen synthesis, leading to improvements in skin tone and overall skin quality.

How Is Pigmentation Formed?

Melanin, a natural skin pigment produced by melanocytes, determines our skin, hair, and eye color. Elevated melanin levels in the skin lead to the development of pigmentation issues like melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The overstimulation of melanocytes due to excessive sun exposure disrupts the balanced production of melanin, culminating in the creation of uneven dark spots commonly referred to as pigmentation.

Common Types Of Pigmentation

The most prevalent types of skin pigment conditions include:

Melasma:

Melasma presents as patches or freckle-like spots in brown or blue-gray hues on the skin, primarily on the cheeks. It results from the excessive production of melanin and can manifest suddenly or develop gradually over several months.

Acne Marks:

Following the formation of acne, the skin undergoes inflammation. As the inflammation subsides, the blemishes heal beneath the skin’s surface, but the skin may not fully regenerate to a smooth outer layer. Typically, acne marks fade over time. However, for individuals with more severe acne, these marks can persist for much longer.

Age Spots & Freckles:

Age spots and freckles commonly appear on areas of skin that have had frequent sun exposure. They present as small, flat spots, usually just a few centimeters across, and vary in shades of brown. Since they occur at the outermost layer of the skin, they are not raised in texture.

Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser

Q-switched Nd:YAG Laser employs cutting-edge laser technology to address concerns such as enlarged pores, skin discoloration, pigmented lesions, and aging skin. The laser energy effectively permeates the surface layer of the skin, precisely focusing on the underlying skin tissue to eliminate pigmentation issues.
