Laser Pigmented Lesions Removal
The SP Dynamis laser system, alongside Fraxel technology, is a cutting-edge solution for treating pigmented lesions and achieving flawless skin with advanced laser technology. It combines the power of dual-wavelength lasers for highly effective and customizable treatments. The Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) penetrates deep into the skin to target melanin, breaking down pigmentation into microparticles that the body naturally clears, making it perfect for addressing melasma, hyperpigmentation, and other dermal pigmentation concerns. Simultaneously, the Er:YAG laser (2940 nm) gently ablates superficial skin layers, effectively treating sunspots, keratoses, and epidermal pigmented lesions while offering precise skin resurfacing with minimal thermal damage. The Fraxel laser complements this by providing fractional laser technology that targets both superficial and deeper pigmentation, promoting skin renewal with minimal downtime. This advanced laser treatment provides safe, efficient results with minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for achieving radiant, even-toned skin.
Laser removal of pigmented lesions, using systems like Fraxel and SP Dynamis, works by destroying the pigment in the skin without the need for excision. This process is completed in 3 simple steps:
Step 1 - LIGHT ABSORPTION: The laser produces short nanosecond pulses of intense light that pass harmlessly through the top layers of the skin to be selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the lesion.
Step 2 – PIGMENT BREAK-UP: The laser light is transformed into photoacoustic waves which mechanically break up the melanin pigment into smaller particles.
Step 3 – PIGMENT REMOVAL: These particles are then removed by the body's own immune system, as the skin's macro-phages clear the excess pigment from the area.
For optimal results, several treatments (4-8) are needed.

The treatment duration typically ranges from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of lesions being treated.
