Pigmentation

NEO PIGMENTATION

Over time, your skin is affected by exposure to UV light, which can cause pigmentary changes on the surface of the skin. The result can be sun or age spots as well as freckles. Some skin is affected by pigmentary changes at birth, called nevi or birthmarks. Regardless of the pigmentary condition, the Aerolase Neo Elite can safely and effectively treat your pigmented lesion, resulting in an even and uniform skin tone.

 

Erasing Pigment with a 650-microsecond Laser

With the unique 650-microsecond pulse technology from Aerolase and the 1064nm laser modality we can easily remove pigmented conditions including sun & age spots, freckles, moles, angiomas, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

✔️Effective & safe for all skin types

✔️Targets epidermal & dermal pigment

✔️No skin cooling required

 

Advanced Treatment of Pigmented Lesions

Historically, Nd:YAG 1064nm lasers have not been used for the removal of hyperpigmented skin conditions such as sun & age spots, melasma, and PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). This is because melanin absorption is relatively low with the 1064nm wavelength. But a new generation of 1064 laser technology, contained within the Neo laser from Aerolase, provides much more effective and rapid heating of hyperpigmentation, delivering treatment efficacy equivalent to laser modalities used previously such as Alexandrite or Diode. This is made possible by 650-microsecond pulse technology, which provides over 15,000 watts per pulse.

 

The Neo is so effective in breaking up hyperpigmentation, yet is also uniquely safe and gentle on darker skin types. The 650-microsecond pulse technology of the Neo enables the skin to cool itself between pulses, such that anesthetics nor skin cooling during treatment is necessary.

TREATMENT PLAN

The number of treatments required for different cases may vary from 4-6 to achieve desired results.  Annual maintenance is recommended.

Combined therapies may yield even better results.

GLOW DERMAL INFUSION

Glow Dermal Infusion by Venus Glow™ is a dermal rejuvenation, pore cleansing facial treatment that features a tri-modality of ultra fine jets, a spinning tip, and a gentle but effective vacuum.  New youthful skin is revealed by removing impurities such as daily dirt, debris, and dead skin cells.  It painlessly removes blackheads, whiteheads, and excess sebum to balance oils while infusing a customized serum. Micro-blood circulation is increased and the spread of nutrients released from the bloodstream is enhanced resulting in a highly renewed skin appearance.

 

The Glow serums can be customized to target and lighten pigmentation and protect the skin from further sun damage.

 

Dermal infusion is proven to improve the appearance of melasma in a series of 4-6 bi-monthly sessions.

TREATMENT PLAN

Best results when maintained regularly in 3-8 week intervals.
