This improves tightness and over all luminosity of the skin while controlling enlarged pores and promoting a smoother, more uniform completion. Temporarily evaporating the water in the papillary dermis to stimulate the natural wound healing response. This will trigger fibroblast activity to generate collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans resulting in a youthful, glowing appearance.

Pigmentation removal
Breaking down the melanin (sun damage only) that will be eliminated via the lymphatic system. Elimination will also occur on the surface of the skin – micro crusting. This treatment has a lot of heat in it that can be felt with every pulse, however breaks are done in between pulses. The treatment that can feel like severe sun burn for 1- 12 hours post treatment. It can take 1-3 weeks for the micro crusting to fall off so encourage exfoliation 1 week post treatment. Wait a minimum of 4 weeks before re treating this area.The intense pulsed light system releases precisely controlled strong pulses of filtered light that are absorbed by the melanin in freckles, sun spots and pigmentation. The pigmented area absorbs the light and is heated to the point that the skin renews itself with fresh and healthy regenerated cells. Following the treatment, the pigmented area turns darker and crusting is completely normal. Weeks following the pigmented areas will gradually flake away from the skin leaving little trace of pigmented area
