Fotona Hyperpigmentation treatment
Laser removal of pigmented lesions works by destroying the pigment in the skin without the need for excision. This process is completed in 3 simple steps:
How it work:
1. Step 1 Light Absorption: The laser produces short nanosecond pulses of intense light that passes harmlessly through the top layers of the skin to be selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the lesion.
2. Step 2 Pigment Break-Up: the laser light is transformed into photoacoustic waves which mechanically break up the melanin pigment into smaller particles.
3. Step 3 Pigment Removal: These particles are then removed by the body’s immune system, as the skin’s macrophages clear the excess pigment from the area.
