Laser removal of pigment spots

Pigment spots on the face or body are caused by too much melanin production. The causes of these pigment spots are varied, they can vary in color from light to dark brown and slightly increase above the surface of the skin as the stratum corneum swells. Pigment spots are divided according to their size, location and shape, develop over time and become more expressive, even more noticeable. The skin loses its beauty, looks uneven, aesthetically unattractive. These reasons make it necessary to look for ways to prevent it. The most effective way to eliminate pigment spots is a laser.

Сandela GentleLase Pro Alexandrite laser is the most powerful of all lasers, it effectively eliminates all skin pigment changes: melasma or chloasma – the so-called “pregnancy spots”, brown spots, sun/age spots, freckles, seborrheic keratoses, café-au-lait – and other pigment spots.

LASER TREATMENT OF SUN-AFFECTED SKIN. PHOTOAGEING

Skin damage caused by the sun is manifested in various changes in the pigmentation and structure of the skin. These are brown, uneven, pigmentation spots caused by the sun or age, reduced skin elasticity and an increased wrinkling due to prolonged exposure to the sun. Photoaging is a premature aging that occurs due to the long-term exposure of the sun’s ultraviolet rays to the skin. Many people regret overexposure of their skin to sun. The tan and color of the skin later gradually manifests itself as photoaging and can lead to serious illnesses. It can trigger brown or sun spots (lentigosolaris), seborrheic keratosis, skin elastosis and even skin cancer. When ignoring the use of sunscreens with a high SPF over years, the damage caused by the sun adds up and it is impossible to correct it merely with subsequent avoidance of sun exposure.

PIGMENT SKIN REJUVENATION

The alexandrite laser removes pigment spots, but thanks to the laser pulse-stimulating collagen and elastin fibers, photorejuvenation occurs. This is a skin rejuvenation procedure. During it, changes caused by skin pigment, age and sun are eliminated. In areas to be treated with this laser, due to the stimulated production of collagen and elastane fibers, skin tone increases, as well as small wrinkles are smoothed out. The skin looks smooth and rejuvenated. This is especially evident when performing such procedures in woman’s facial or chest area – the skin becomes firmer.
