WHAT IS LASER PIGMENT PEEL?

The MEDLITE C6 Laser Pigmentation Peel is designed to address a range of skin concerns, particularly focusing on pigmentation issues such as sunspots, age spots, freckles, and uneven skin tone. Using state-of-the-art laser technology, this peel targets melanin deposits in the skin, breaking them down and promoting their natural elimination.

One of the key advantages of the MEDLITE C6 Laser Pigmentation Peel is its precision. The laser can precisely target pigmented areas without affecting the surrounding skin, leading to more targeted and effective results. This makes it a safe and reliable option for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their skin without the risks associated with harsher treatments.

 

Another benefit of this peel is its versatility. Whether you’re dealing with isolated spots or more widespread pigmentation issues, the MEDLITE C6 Laser Pigmentation Peel can be customised to suit your specific needs. Our dermal technicians can tailor the treatment to target specific areas or provide overall skin rejuvenation, depending on your goals.

The MEDLITE C6 Laser Pigmentation Peel offers other skincare benefits. It can stimulate collagen production, leading to firmer and more elastic skin over time. This not only improves the texture of your skin but also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

PROCEDURE

Designed to address pigmentation issues effectively while ensuring a comfortable experience.

At the start of your session, a topical anaesthetic is applied, reducing any discomfort you might feel during the procedure. 

As the procedure begins, you may experience a prickling sensation, which is followed by mild heat. These sensations are typically well-tolerated by most individuals. After the laser treatment, a cold air or cool compress is applied to soothe the skin for 15-20 minutes, enhancing your comfort post-treatment.

You will experience a warm glow that can be experienced for up to 48 hours following the procedure. This glow signifies the skin’s rejuvenation process and is often accompanied by a noticeable improvement in pigmentation issues.
