Treatment of blemishes

Intense and brief sun exposure, as well as repeated sun exposure over the years, lead to the appearance of brown spots.

Brown spots on the backs of the hands are more commonly seen in older individuals, but not exclusively.

In fact, more and more young adults are coming to us to treat early-stage discolouration resulting from sun exposure from a young age. This exposure has resulted in particularly sensitive skin.

The hands, face and décolletage are, as you know, prime areas for the development of brown spots.

Indeed, these are areas that cannot be hidden.

The backs of the hands and the face are consistently exposed to light (minimally in winter and intensely in summer).

Today, individuals are attentive to aesthetics down to the tips of their fingers.

Thanks to our Revlite laser, we can reduce and sometimes even completely eliminate these small lentigines.

THE TECHNIQUE:

A non-invasive technique, the Q-Switched laser, commonly known as Revlite, uses a high-intensity light beam to eliminate spots. The laser targets melanin to destroy it through a surface crusting process.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Recommended for light to medium skin types.

WHO PERFORMS THE TREATMENT?

The lasers at the centre are used exclusively by qualified laser physicians.

INDICATIONS:

• Facial spots
• Décolletage spots
• Hand spots

It is important to note that deep spots called Melasma should be treated with specific peels.

PROTOCOL :

Between 1 and 3 sessions depending on the initial condition of the skin. Results are visible from the very first session.

SESSION PROCEDURE:

The skin is thoroughly cleansed, and then the practitioner performs one or more laser passes over the areas to be treated. An eye protection will be provided at the beginning of the treatment.

A sensation of warmth is felt during the session.

Once the session is completed, the skin will appear red. This is necessary for the effectiveness of the skin renewal process.

Crusts will be present for an average of 5 days on the spots to be removed from the face and 15 days on the décolletage and hands. 

PRECAUTIONS:

• ABSOLUTE SUN AVOIDANCE IS MANDATORY for 1 month before and after the session.
• Do not pick at the crusts.
• Do not treat pregnant women.
• List any skin diseases that may be a contraindication to laser treatment.
• Do not be tanned on the day of the session.
• Inform the practitioner if you are using irritating cosmetics.

RESULTS:

A clearer and more radiant skin, a reduction in spots.
