Technology

Selective Treatment with a Wavelength for Each Pigment

Energy is absorbed only by target pigment, breaking it into fine particles to clear

  • STEP 1. Pigment Lesion Targeting

    STEP 1. Pigment Lesion Targeting

    Various pigment lesions exist separately and are treated with different wavelengths of light

  • STEP 2. Selective Energy Absorption

    STEP 2. Selective Energy Absorption

    When laser energy is absorbed simultaneously by targeted pigment disorders, there is minimal damage to surrounding tissue

  • STEP 3. Pigment Destruction & Elimination

    STEP 3. Pigment Destruction & Elimination

    Targets that absorb laser energy are destroyed into small particles, absorbed into the body and eliminated. No damage to surrounding tissue and elasticity increases after treatment
