Discolorations reduction

Treatment of pigment changes - freckle removal, sunspot and age spot removal

IPL laser is the best treatment for lightening excess brown pigment (freckles, sunspots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). The device works on cells containing excess pigment. If the brown pigment is in the superficial layers of the skin, there is an immediate darkening of the discoloration, which then peels off within 7-14 days. If the pigment is in deeper layers of the skin, as is often the case with melasma, initial darkening of the excess pigment may not occur. Because excess pigment is deposited in various layers of the skin, a series of treatments will be necessary to address deeper pigment issues and achieve optimal results. Eliminating all spots may not always be possible, but significant improvement is common - normal, healthy skin with significantly fewer brown spots.

Treatment of Pigment Changes - Removing Freckles, Sunspots, and Age Spots

The Alma Dye VL PRO laser is an innovative technology using intense pulsed light (IPL), designed specifically for treating pigment and vascular changes. When it comes to pigmentation issues on the skin - such as freckles, sunspots, age spots, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - this is one of the most effective and precise therapeutic methods.

The procedure utilizes a unique combination of three filters: cooling, selective, and optical, which enable targeted action on excess pigment in the skin while protecting surrounding tissues. Alma Dye VL PRO allows for safe lightening of pigmentation from various body areas - including the back, arms, décolletage, hands, and legs - with minimal discomfort and no need for extended recovery.

How Does the Procedure Work?

The IPL laser is the best treatment for lightening excess brown pigment (freckles, sunspots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). The device targets cells containing excess pigment.

• If the brown pigment is present in the superficial skin layers, immediate darkening of the pigmentation occurs, which then peels off within 7-14 days.
• If the pigment is located in deeper skin layers, as often seen in melasma, initial darkening of the excess pigment may not occur.

Since excess pigment accumulates in various skin layers, a series of treatments will be necessary to address deeper pigmentation issues and achieve optimal results.

The Alma Dye VL PRO technology utilizes advanced cooling and light filtration systems, ensuring treatment comfort and reducing the risk of irritation, even when treating large body areas.

When is it Worth Considering the Treatment?

The treatment is suitable for individuals:

• with freckles, age spots, and sunspots on the body (back, arms, décolletage, hands, legs),
• with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g., after acne, trauma, cosmetic procedures, or depilation),
• with uneven skin tone caused by melanin overproduction,
• who want to enhance the aesthetics and uniformity of their skin without invasive methods, with visible pigmentation changes of various origins and depths.

Effects of the Treatment

• Lightening and reduction of superficial pigmentation,
• Gradual improvement of deeper-seated changes (e.g., melasma),
• Exfoliation of the skin at the laser treatment site (in the case of superficial changes),
• Visible enhancement of skin color and texture on the body,
• Reduction in the number and intensity of brown spots,
• Evening out of skin pigmentation on larger areas,
• Healthier, smoother, and more uniform skin appearance,
• High treatment comfort due to advanced skin cooling.

Treatment Frequency

To achieve the best results, it is recommended to undergo a series of 3-5 treatments, with intervals of approximately 4 weeks. The number of sessions depends on:

• the type and depth of pigmentation,
• the location of the changes,
• the skin's individual response to IPL light.

The Alma Dye VL PRO offers an advanced solution for treating body pigmentation - effective, precise, and safe. With innovative IPL technology, you can enjoy smooth, radiant skin free from spots and unevenness, without a lengthy recovery period.

The Q-Switch Nd:YAG Alma ClearLift fractional laser works by delivering high-energy light pulses using two different wavelengths, one (532 nm) that can remove superficial pigmentation changes such as freckles and sunspots, and the other (1064 nm) that is effective for deeper pigmentation changes like melasma. The device induces a photoacoustic effect in the tissue, stimulating cells mechanically rather than thermally like most lasers. The light pulses break down pigment changes into small particles, which are then eliminated by the body's immune system.

Advanced treatment of pigmented lesions - freckles, sun spots, age spots, and hormonal discoloration

MaxG™ is a highly specialized Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) applicator used in the Icon® system by Cynosure - a leader among global manufacturers of aesthetic medicine technology. The treatment with MaxG™ is designed to reduce various types of discoloration on the face and body, including freckles, sun spots, age spots, and hormonal discoloration.

Thanks to the patented Optimized Light™ technology, MaxG™ combines the effectiveness of a single wavelength laser with the flexibility of IPL, providing excellent aesthetic results while ensuring patient comfort. The treatment is non-invasive, fast, and safe, with minimal risk of irritation and short recovery time. It is effective in treating both superficial and deeper pigmentary changes.

How does the treatment work?

MaxG™ emits optimized pulses of light that are absorbed by melanin - the pigment responsible for dark skin changes. The light energy is converted into heat, causing selective damage to pigment cells without affecting healthy tissues. As a result of the light's action:

• Superficial discolorations (freckles, sun spots) darken and then peel off within 7-14 days,
• Deeper pigmentary changes, such as melasma, require a series of treatments as excess pigment is located in different layers of the skin.

The Advanced Contact Cooling™ technology protects the epidermis from overheating, increasing the safety of the treatment and patient comfort.

When is it worth having the treatment?

The treatment is recommended for individuals:

• with freckles, sun spots, and age spots,
• with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (e.g., after acne, injuries, depilation, cosmetic procedures),
• with hormonal discoloration (e.g., melasma, chloasma),
• with uneven skin tone on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, or other body parts,
• seeking an effective and non-invasive method of improving skin appearance,
• expecting minimal discomfort and short recovery time.

Treatment effects

• Visible lightening of pigmented lesions after the first treatment,
• Peeling off of superficial discolorations within a few days,
• Reduction of deep discolorations with a series of treatments,
• Evening out of skin tone,
• Improvement in skin texture and quality,
• Refreshed, radiant, and healthy-looking skin.

Treatment frequency

To achieve optimal results, the following is recommended:

• A series of 3-5 treatments,
• Spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.
