The
LightPod Neo laser is effective and gentle for
the treatment of melasma. Its high power laser
energy with a unique 0.65msec pulse duration
heats the melasma quickly for higher clearance.
It also penetrates much deeper into the dermis
as compared with Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers,
affecting deeper layers of melanin and providing
better clearance.
Melasma is a significant cosmetic concern for
many patients. Common factors that contribute to
it include genetic predisposition, hormones, sun
exposure and inflammation of the skin tissue.
Melasma is commonly treated with prescription
creams containing bleaching agents, particularly
hydroquinone; treatment efficacy can vary, and a
variety of side effects are linked to
hydroquinone including allergic reactions and
skin irritations such as redness, blistering,
dryness and itching. LightPod Neo represents a
powerful tool for the skin practitioner,
enabling treatment of melasma while
simultaneously disrupting excessive melanin
formations in both the epidermis and the deep
dermal tissue. |
