Are you struggling with pigmentation issues, uneven skin tone, or dark under-eye circles that make you appear tired and aged? In our modern, fast-paced lifestyle, poor sleep, inadequate diet and high-stress result in our skin bearing the brunt. This is reflected in our faces, showing sallow, uneven and dull complexions.
Melasma is a condition marked by excessive melanin production, often triggered by elevated levels of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGF). To effectively address this, a suitable skin brightening laser treatment should be able to penetrate deeply into the skin to suppress VEGF activity—targeting the root cause of pigmentation.
Accurate targeting of VEGF and vascular structures within the deeper dermal layers is essential for achieving results while preserving surrounding tissues and preventing unnecessary damage.
This is where the use of laser therapy with advanced micropulse technology becomes particularly beneficial.
This cutting-edge laser technology, known for its rapid pulse delivery, plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of skin brightening treatments. It delivers a quick burst of yellow light followed by an immediate drop in energy, focusing the treatment precisely where needed while minimizing impact on surrounding tissues.
Commonly used in both pigmentation and acne scar treatments, this method emits approximately 22,000 micropulses per second. These pulses trigger a photochemical response in the dermis by activating cytochromes within skin cells, helping to improve conditions such as melasma and acne, while also promoting overall skin rejuvenation.
This technology enhances treatment outcomes in three main areas:
By addressing pigmentation, visible vessels, and inflammation, this treatment helps achieve a brighter, more even complexion.
Dark under-eye circles can be caused by poor blood circulation and increased pigments being deposited under our eyes. This can make us look tired and add years to our appearance.
Skin brightening laser treatments at medical aesthetic clinics tend to leverage on the aforementioned laser and accompanying technology to deliver a combination of green and yellow light at specific wavelengths to target the pigment disorders that cause these skin issues. It does so by suppressing VEGF, which is responsible for the production of unwanted pigments. The aim of such treatments is to help address concerns related to the skin’s radiance and luminosity, and may progressively help fade dark eye circles.
Skin brightening laser treatments are suitable for individuals facing a variety of skin concerns related to pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dark under-eye circles. If you struggle with these issues, skin brightening laser therapy can be a solution worth considering. This non-invasive procedure, with minimal downtime, employs laser technology to target and address specific skin problems, aiding you along your journey of achieving a translucent and radiant complexion. At times, to help with both the lightening and lifting of the eye area, it may be recommended to combine laser brightening treatments with eye thread lifts.
Candidates for skin brightening laser treatments vary and depend on individual skin types and specific skin concerns. The choice of laser treatment may also depend on the underlying causes of these issues, such as excessive melanin production or vascular factors.
As such, to determine if you are a suitable candidate for skin brightening laser treatments, it is recommended to consult with a qualified medical professional who can assess your skin’s condition and have them recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
