the Laser Treatment Clinic | Uneven Skin Tone

Uneven skin tone is patchy areas on the skin caused by increased production of melanin, the dark pigment in the skin. These can develop with the use of harsh products, exposure to sun or with age.

The Science

The Microdermabrasion, Laser Therapy and Ultrasound treatment involves an advanced form of deep skin exfoliation, encouraging skin renewal, gently and uniformly removing the pigmented superficial layers from the epidermal level without damage, revealing the clearer skin beneath. Epidermis renewal usually occurs within four and five days. The Laser stimulates the production of fresh new skin cells and collagen.

The Treatment

The procedure is performed by passing a hand held device that uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals over the skin. You should feel no more than a sharp scratching sensation. After which the Laser technology is applied.

After the treatment, if the treatment has been gentle not the slightest amount of redness is apparent. For some deeper treatments the surface treated may have some spots of blood. Inflammation (active redness) is a consequence of fibroblast collagen resulting in more elastic skin. The depth of the pressure applied is at the professional’s discretion and may vary from treatment to treatment. The advantage of this treatment is that above all it works in harmony with, and respects the biological structure of the skin tissue.

Epidermis renewal usually occurs within four and five days depending on the length of the treatment or depth of abrasion, leaving a space of about five to six days between treatments. After each treatment it is best to apply the professionally recommended products, to accelerate the skin tissue repair and lightening of the pigmentation.

With repeated treatments you will notice a steady improvement in skin texture and appearance. Improvement is sometimes evident from the first couple of treatments and continues throughout the treatment program.

These treatments are tailored to your needs and are approved by the Laser Protection Supervisor.
