Laser Pigmentation Removal using elite iq
The laser pigmentation removal process works by heating up and shattering the pigment. The pigment is then drawn to the surface, once it’s drawn to the surface it darkens temporarily. It will then form a micro-crust which will then flake off over a number of weeks. Once it fully flakes off it will fade or remove fully leaving an even complexion.
In order to fully remove the pigment a course of treatments is recommend. It’s also advised to stay out of sunlight, tanning bed or any form of UV light during treatment and to wear SPF daily. After treatment is finished, the skin is fresh and new so it is recommended to be careful with UV exposure as you can develop new pigmentation.
