Sun Spots/Age Spots Removal
Also known as "Liver Spots". These darkened areas are usually most prevalent in the sun exposed areas of the body such as the back of the hands, face, shoulders and chest. Treatment options include "spot treating" isolated pigment areas to treating entire areas of the face, neck, arms, back and shoulders.
Freckling
Superficial pigmentation, especially on the nose and cheeks can be treated with IPL with two to three treatments over a period of several months.
Hyperpigmentation
Often due to repeated sun exposure, especially in fair skinned patients, and is successfully treated with IPL.
Melasma
Often the most difficult type of hyperpigmentation to treat. This condition usually occurs secondary to hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy or with the use of birth control pills. Many treatments may be necessary.
A consultation with our RN laser technician may be helpful to determine the best treatment option for you.
Types Of Lasers Which Treat Melasma
Sciton BBL™
The Sciton BBL™ has been proven effective in the treatment and removal of numerous skin afflictions:
SkinTyte™ is a non-ablative approach to firmer and younger looking skin. The SkinTyte™ laser utilized infrared energy to deeply heat dermal collagen. The heating process promotes partial denaturation and contraction of your collagen.
In addition to helping the growth of dermal collagen, SkinTyte™ also initiates the body's natural healing mechanisms in order to create a new collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness.
SkinTyte™ boasts a powerful cooling system which maintains the outer surface of your skin before, during, and after each pulse. This ensures that you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
The Sciton Erbium & ProFractional Laser treatment create adjustable channels in the skin which rejuvenate collagen. The result is increased collagen and elastin growth. Collagen and elastin combine to bring increased thickness to your skin, leaving surrounding tissue intact to promote the healing process.
Erbium & ProFractional Laser are used to treat the following:
