damages the skin resulting in pigmented spots such as
freckles and sunspots. These unsightly lesions, can
easily be removed with photorejuvenation. An intense
pulsed light beam emitted by the StarLuxTM
system is preferentially absorbed by the skin areas
with darker colour, or pigment as found in sun damaged
spots. These dark areas heat up and the cells are damaged
by the intense light. The body then breaks down the
destroyed pigment and removes it naturally.
Microdermabrasion
can remove superficial pigment by removing the dull
dead skin cells of the surface. As well, the mechanical
exfoliation may produce some skin tightening through
collagen stimulation and the production of collagen
and new skin cells.
Chemical
Peels can also remove uneven surface discolouration
or sun damaged facial skin. Our light to medium depth
peel formulas can effectively exfoliate, bleach, and
inhibit pigment production. With our various treatments,
we can effectively reverse years of sun damage!
