A beam of laser energy is used to vaporize the upper layers of damaged skin with accurate precision. As new cells form during the healing process, a smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin surface appears.
This outpatient procedure can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
Some of the risks involved with a laser peel include the development of hypo- or hyper-pigmentation, which is a change of skin color in the treated area, including loss of color or excessive color.
Laser Toning is a non-ablative procedure and patients can typically complete treatments without the use of topical anesthetics and return to their normal daily routines immediately afterwards. Treatments are repeated 5 to 10 times at intervals of between 7 and 10 days until the melasma is no longer visible.
Melasma is an easily irritated and recurring skin disorder and most peeling therapies are only suitable for epidermal melasma. The uniform beam profile and short pulse width of the Spectra VRM Series are very important in achieving reliable and predictable clinical results without any significant risk of adverse reactions.
Laser Toning is a simple, effective treatment with high patient satisfaction levels and can take as little as ten minutes per session. Treatments can be combined with other complimentary therapies to achieve multiple clinical advantages with little or no risk of side effects, making it the ideal treatment for epidermal and dermal melasma.
