Freckle Treatment
Photorejuvenation
Laser Photorejuvenation using the Candela Gentlemax Pro is an extremely effective method for removing unwanted pigmentation. Using a 755 nm wavelength, the Gentlemax Pro specifically targets excess melanin (freckle) in the skin. The light is absorbed and converted to heat which shatters the pigmentation, resulting in the temporary darkening and crusting of the treated area before the pigment gradually falls away. Photorejuvenation is most effective fo r superficial pigmentation and freckles, causing them to fade or disappear permanently.
Laser Correction Facial
Our Laser Correction Facial Treatment utilises Q-switch laser technology. The rapid speed of the laser combined with a high repetition rate causes vibration in the skin which helps to shatter superficial pigmentation. The 532nm wavelength specifically targets pigment within the top upper layers of the skin. The light is absorbed as heat which shatters the pigmentation resulting in the temporary darkening and crusting of the treated area before the pigment gradually falls away, removing and lightening the unwanted lesion. The 532nm wavelength is not suitable for all skin types and is best for freckle and age spot removal. A skin analysis will be performed to determine your treatment plan for maximum results.
Skin Care To Assist With Treating Pigmentation
Lira Clinical – Pro Lite Serum
Lira Clinical Pro Lite serum is an absolute non – negotiable when treating any form of hyper – pigmentation. In fact, Pro Lite is an award winning tyrosinase inhibitor that does not contain hydroquinone. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that controls the production of melanin as part of our skin’s natural defence mechanism against UV rays. When our skin undergoes trauma or becomes inflamed, this causes Tyrosinase to misfire resulting in an overproduction of pigment, causing hyperpigmentation or freckles. The use of a Tyrosinase Inhibitor on a daily basis, will prevent the enzyme from misfiring, thus inhibiting the overproduction of pigment in the skin. Lira Clinical Pro Lite also contains a cocktail of skin -specific brightening and lightening ingredients that improve existing discoloured, hyperpigmentation, photo-damaged and uneven skin tone.
Physical Sunscreen
The use of daily sunscreen is paramount when treating any form of pigmentation. Pigment cells within the skin react the same to UV exposure, so as your skin colour darkens and tans, so too will your hyperpigmentation. It is extremely important as many clients notice their pigment worsening or being triggered during the summer months or after periods of prolonged sun exposure. A Physical sunscreen, those containing Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, is the most ideal as it protects from both UVA and UVB damage and creates an instant blanket like protection against the sun.
It is recommended an SPF be worn daily to prevent and reduce pigmentation. Lira Clinical SPF range contains 21% Zinc Oxide which is the maximum allowance within Australia. In addition to protecting from sun damage, Lira Clinical SPF range contains a range of nourishing botanicals and protects the skin with powerful antioxidants.
