Details.
A short-wavelength laser treatment designed to target superficial pigmentation caused by sun exposure, including age spots. It selectively targets pigment in the upper layers of the skin while minimising effects on surrounding tissue. Suitable for superficial pigmentation, sun-induced uneven tone and patients seeking a more targeted pigmentation treatment. Treatment takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area treated. Temporary redness, mild swelling or warmth may occur and usually settles within a few days. Typically 3 to 5 sessions are recommended, depending on the concern being treated. Avoid sun exposure and strong exfoliation before treatment, and tell the doctor about any skin conditions. After treatment, continue using sunscreen, avoid excessive heat and irritation, and keep the skin moisturised. A consultation is required to assess suitability.
