How it works
Intense Pulsed Light with SmartPulsed technology delivers light deep into the skin with real time cooling to ensure your protection and comfort. As the energy is absorbed it destroys the imperfection it is targeting and slowly it disappears. You will noticed brown spots will appear darker and more prominent before they begin to flake off over the next few weeks. Some vessels will disappear immediately and others will slowly fade out over the next few weeks.
Following your treatment sun protection will be applied. You must avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours post treatment.
You may feel like you have a mild sunburn immediately after treatment but you can resume to your daily activities immediately after.
