MELASMA AGE SPOT TATTOO REMOVAL

What is this?

Laser therapy is the best way for removing unwanted pigments in the skin such as melasma, age spots, freckles, facial vessels and tattoos in an effective, little to no down time manner.

How does it work?

Lasers work by emitting a specialized light that is passed through the skin and preferentially absorbed by its target, be it an unwanted hair, vein, or in this case, the unwanted pigment (either natural - melanin or tattoo inks) in the skin. The laser causes the pigments to break up and disappear, leaving you with healthy, clear skin. There are several lasers available that work remarkably well in treating unwanted pigmentation.

Results: How many treatments until I see results?

Depending on the type of pigment in your skin, pigment and vessel reduction can be achieved in three to five sessions. When dealing with tattoos, the average, professional tattoo requires more than six to eight treatments, while amateur tattoos require more than three to four treatments, all spaced approximately at least six weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of ink used, and the depth of the ink in the skin. The treatment of melasma is more complicated and may require the use of a variety of lasers, laser-like technologies and other treatment approaches.
