Pigmentation Treatment
At Onyx Aesthetic, we offer effective pigmentation treatments using the Candela GentleMax Pro™ to remove a variety of skin pigmentation issues. Using a dual laser platform of 755nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser, the GentleMax Pro™ a variety of pigmentation treatments, such as:
- Benign seborrheic keratosis and solar lentigines
- Lightening and removal of sunspots, age spots, and freckles
- Correction and rejuvenation of areas with diffused sun damage
- Treatment of facial redness
- Treatment of broken blood vessels, venous lakes, and leg veins
The GentleMax Pro™ can even be used to treat wrinkles and for skin tightening!
How does the GentleMax Pro™ do all this? The lasers emit light that is selectively absorbed by the melanin that causes pigmentation. This photo-injury (photothermolysis) to the melanin then leads to its disruption and subsequent removal by the body’s immune system.
It generally takes 1-3 treatments to lighten or remove unwanted pigmentation. Once treated the pigmentation becomes darker for approximately one week and then flakes off. Usually, there is mild swelling and redness associated with this treatment for a few days after treatment.
To find out if this pigmentation treatment is suitable for you book a consultation at Onyx Aesthetic, where our qualified Registered Nurse can guide you through the best treatment plan.
